Full Skirted and Fabulous

If the 1950s had a fashion motto, it was “go big or go home”—especially when it came to skirts. Poodle skirts, circle skirts, and anything with a cinched waist and serious twirl factor were in. Pair one with a fitted blouse, a neck scarf, and a smug little secret, and you’ve got yourself a killer outfit for a murder mystery game night.

The Greaser Girl Look

Not into the sweet and prim vibe? Channel your inner Rizzo with a leather jacket, rolled jeans, and just the right amount of sass. This 1950s rebel look is perfect for guests who want to break the mold—and maybe break the case wide open. Bonus points for a comb in the back pocket and a knowing smirk.

Hollywood Starlet Glam

Want to play the role of the glamorous suspect? Think satin gowns, fur stoles (faux, of course), and red lipstick sharp enough to cut tension. This kind of 1950s fashion screams mystery, money, and motive. Whether you’re Marilyn or more of a Grace Kelly, this look is a knockout—literally.

The Housewife with a Secret

There’s something deliciously eerie about a perfect 1950s housewife with lipstick too perfect and gloves too white. This is the look for someone who seems like they have nothing to hide—which is exactly why they probably do. Aprons, pearls, and passive-aggressive perfection make this costume a classic for any murder mystery event. Don’t forget the blood-red nails.

Don’t Forget the Details

The magic’s in the accessories. Cat-eye glasses, chunky belts, clip-on earrings, and scarves tied every which way bring your outfit to life. And of course, no 1950s look is complete without a bold lip, perfect curls, and a side-eye that could kill (figuratively… or maybe not).

If you’re hosting or attending a murder mystery party, those little details help immerse everyone in the story. Costumes aren’t just for fun—they help sell the suspense.
