Suspenders were commonly worn to hold up their pants, since men didn't really start wearing belts until the end of this decade. Well actually, they wore braces, not suspenders. Braces have button fasteners, while suspenders have metal clasps that attach to your pants.

Skimmer hats (straw boater hats) were popular in the summer months
A pretty common clothing trend was wearing these high-waisted gray flannel pants. They were known as "grayers".
And the big fad of the 20s: these Oxford Bags. They hit the college scene first, after knickerbockers were prohibited on campus @ Oxford. Pretty wild is all I can say!

Another fad in the 1920s was the jazz suit, which morphed into the zoot suit by the 1930s. These included long, tight-waisted w/ long back vents, w/ double or single breasted jackets & tight or stove-pipe skinny trousers.

A few different fads were present in 1920's gents fashion: one of those was knickerbockers (shortened to knickers)...this fad lasted until the early 1930s Also...inlcuded on pant size was "plus-fours, plus- sixes, plus-eights and plus-tens". The “plus” in the term referred to how many inches below the knee they hung.
Or you could just go gangster (toy guns only please).

Boe ties might help...err tie together your outfit Boe ties were more common than ties! And if ties were worn, they were generally long & thin.
