Overview

F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote that the 1920s was a time when the parties were bigger, the pace was faster, and the morals were looser. One hundred years after the era of flappers, jazz bands, speakeasies, bootleggers, and bathtub gin, we are desperately in need of a little Gatsby glitz and glamour. Starting with its glittering cover, Roaring The 2020s steps up to teach you how to put a little speakeasy swagger in your step. Explore how to bring throwback style, slang, and social gatherings into your everyday life. Learn how to pull off the effortless, androgynous flapper fashion without looking like you're wearing a costume. And soon you'll be asking the bartender to make you a French 75 or a Gin Rickey. Doesn't that just sound glitzier than a Vodka Cranberry? These lessons and more will have you delighted and excited to take on this new roaring decade!
