20 Modern Roaring 20s Outfits for Women With Fringe, Sparkle and Pearls

Looking for modern roaring 20s outfits for women that don't all start with a flapper dress? Think wide-leg pants, a shiny gold top or a black dress with long strands of pearls.

These ideas mix full party looks with simpler outfits and a few accessories worth borrowing.

You can keep things simple or go all out. I especially love the sparkling headbands, but you don't need every accessory at once.

Start with an outfit you like, then decide how much of that 1920s-inspired detail you want.

Roaring 20s-inspired outfit ideas to save

black fringe mini

We're starting off strong with this cute black fringe dress. I love the square neckline and the rows of fringe over all that sparkle.

If you want to go a step further, try a slim sparkling headband. Or leave the neckline bare like this and let the dress be the main detail.

long black dress and white wrap

How pretty is this black-and-white pairing? The deep V-neck dress has long white bead necklaces down the front, with a fluffy white wrap draped around the arms.

The black head wrap with its sparkling decoration is my favorite part. Silver-colored open-toe shoes finish the look.

silver scallops and shoulder cutouts

This dress may just be one of my favorites here. I love the scalloped silver-colored patterns and the little strands hanging from the open-shoulder sleeves.

Try a narrow jeweled headband across your forehead to follow this look. The drop earrings are a pretty addition too.

pink ruffles and party headbands

Who says everyone has to wear black? The pink tiered mini looks so cute beside the gold-colored dress and the two black outfits.

This is a lovely way to plan group outfits without matching everything. Pick your own dress, then bring in long pearl-style necklaces, feathered headbands or draped hair chains like these.

cropped jacket and wide-leg pants

Don't want to wear a dress? No problem! Try gray high-waisted pants with a cropped gray jacket and a black button-front vest.

I am in love with that wide-brimmed black hat. Keep it if you want the same dramatic look, or try the outfit without it for something simpler.

strapless black and layered pearls

I am obsessed with this outfit. The long strapless black dress, white fluffy wrap and black gloves look gorgeous together.

The narrow sunglasses give it a more modern touch. Don't forget the little pale bag with its long beaded strap if you want to follow this combination.

gold halter and black pants

If you are looking for a little shine without a sparkling dress, this one is for you. The collage pairs a gold-colored halter top with black wide-leg pants and a chunky linked belt.

I love the black flower earrings. Choose those and the curved gold-colored bag if you want to borrow just a couple of the accessories.

navy pinstripes and a tie

This is such a cute alternative to fringe. The navy pinstripe vest and wide-leg pants go with a white collared shirt and dark tie.

Add a silver-tone chain at the waist to try the same detail. The hoop earrings and sunglasses keep this version from looking like a straight costume.

pale pink and a cloche hat

How pretty is this pale pink look? I love the wispy feather-like trim around the hem and the matching cloche-style hat.

The thin straps and simple neckline leave plenty of room for those long earrings. I'd keep the little pale clutch too.

pearl choker and pointed neckline

This is another black dress and white wrap combination, but it's a little different from the one above. I love the pointed edge of the neckline and the wide pearl-style choker.

The long black gloves are worth keeping. You don't need a long necklace with all those pretty rows around your neck.

sheer sparkle and black trousers

Don't want to go all out with the vintage accessories? Try this sparkling sheer black top over a black bra with wide-leg trousers.

For a little more coverage, you could swap the bra for a black camisole. Add a jeweled hair clip if you want to bring in another 20s-inspired detail.

black midi and long necklaces

If you are looking for something simple to build on, this one is for you. A sleeveless black midi dress, black pumps and sheer gloves make up the outfit.

Then come the necklaces! Layer pearl-style strands at different lengths to follow this look without adding fringe or sparkle to the dress itself.

green gown and draped sleeves

I am obsessed with this green gown. The curved lines down the skirt are so pretty, plus those little loops draped over the upper arms.

The black gloves and feathered hair accessory take this in a full themed-party direction. Try the gown with just drop earrings if you'd rather keep yours simpler.

brown trousers and a bow hat

Here is another pants outfit with a completely different color combination. The brown wide-leg trousers go with a pale shirt, buttoned vest and tie.

I especially love the bow on the hat. The long pearl-style necklace is a fun addition to all those tailored pieces.

long slip dress and gloves

Don't want patterns or fringe on your dress? No problem there!

This long slip-style dress has thin straps and a simple V-neck, with long gloves and several strands of beads.

The photo is monochrome, so take inspiration from the shapes rather than a particular color. A champagne-colored version would be a pretty option to try.

wide brim and white gloves

I love this black hat with the short white openwork gloves. The square neckline and narrow belt keep the visible outfit simple, while the short pearl-style necklace adds a pretty detail.

Save this one if you'd rather wear a hat than a feathered headband.

red dress and black fringe

If you are looking for a full flapper-inspired party look, then this one is for you. There is so much to love, from the black geometric decoration over red to the long fringe at the hem.

The matching red headpiece is gorgeous. Add long black gloves and a black fan if you want that same all-out look.

sparkling headpiece and dark lips

Already have your outfit picked out? This close-up gives you plenty of accessory inspiration without showing a full look.

I love the large sparkling stones at the side of the headpiece and the little curls around the forehead. Try a deep berry lip with your own jeweled headband, or borrow the dangling earrings instead.

black crossover jumpsuit

This black jumpsuit is a simple starting point if you'd rather skip the dress. I love the crossed halter neckline and those extra-wide legs.

The picture keeps things minimal with hoops and black sandals. For a themed party, you could swap the hoops for sparkling drop earrings and add a decorated headband.

sparkling skirt and black cape

Last but definitely not least, we have this pretty all-black outfit collage. The long sparkling skirt looks so good with the halter top and short tie-neck cape.

I especially love the decorated bag. Keep the pointed pumps and draped-chain headband if you want to try the whole combination.
