- American Psycho is the 2000 recreation of the novel by Bret Easton Ellis. The film takes place in 1987 Manhattan, at the height of the Yuppie era of wall street. For context, the yuppies were a generation of young Americans flocking to the offices of New York city with the main goal of getting rich quickly.
Elements like pinstripes, contrast collar shirts, low-buttoning suits, and expensive timepieces held a major role in US style across the rest of the decade and into the 1990’s and even early 2000’s. In recent years one film character that’s seen rising popularity in popular culture is the main character of Ellis’ novel, Patrick Bateman.
Played by then rising-star Christian Bale in the film version, Bateman is characterized by his drive to fit in. As a result, Bateman has become one of the greatest representations of 1980’s fashion in practically movie history, so let’s take a look at Yuppie fashion in American Psycho.

His watch in the movie is actually a Seiko. Good video
yep true
That first suit has peak lapels not notched.
This was truly a fascinating analogy of the movie. Loved it.
Happy to hear!
The watch part is wrong actually. In the movie, Christian Bale actually wears a SEIKO SNXJ90, because Rolex, (the brand of watch he wears in the novel, where the name is mentioned 26 times, a Rolex Datejust 16013 to be specific) contrived to get the brand omitted from the film because they did not wish to be associated or portrayed with such violent media. This also resulted in the dialogue change in the scene with the prostitues, where in the novel he says don't touch the rolex, however in the film he says don't touch the watch th-cam.com/video/Tm4zUH-Xv_o/w-d-xo.html
Otherwise, outstanding video.
Don't touch the watch.
Yeah I learned this shortly afterwards but I guess canonically it should've been a Rolex 😂
@@TheStudiofashion Yeah shit happens man. Outstanding video nonetheless! Enjoyed it very much!
Love to see someone break down the fashion in this movie! Keep up the great content
When you say the pants are cuffed, the pants in the videos do not have cuffs
Wow thought this was a channel with over a million subscribers! Great job
Thanks man! Happy to hear.
Impressive. Very nice. Let's see Paul Allen's Style in 'American Psycho'
good choice for the song at the end, i heard it in a vaporwave album that embraces a stylish corporate vibe just like in this movie. id like to recommend midnight deluxe if youre inyo that kind of music
Is that not what it was? I have it on cassette ;) got it on the second run I believe a few years ago. I think that’s what it was cause it doesn’t sound like the more popular Telepath one (also have that amazing album on cassette ;))
great content bro
Thanks man! Glad you liked it.
Did an AI write this? The script often doesn't match what's being shown on screen and you made mistakes like calling his peaked lapels notched ones.
Prob dudes talking like a robot
Great job on the details, this reminds me of the late 80s to early 90s and Nordstrom sold menswear that epitomized these looks. I wore braces…(they are not called suspenders- those are for socks)…to work nearly every day prior to casual Fridays being popularized. It was a fun time to be a young working professional. Fine dressing is timeless. These looks still have style imo. Thanks for posting this as you did a great job here and is a perfect style guide reference.
Bill Lumberg from Office Space has this iconic style too. Very 80's style.
There's some kick-ass vaporware tracks in this video, what is the name of the second one you used (from 2:50 onwards) ? I just fell in love with those sax solos
It's 'Friday Shopping' by Dystopian Chic
Yeah, I watched this movie at a funny point in my life, I've known people like bateman in real life and I can say the character is eerily accurate. But in terms of fashion, I have to admit they really did there research, I know atleast a few of those suits were by Cerruti, I've been lucky enough to snag one off ebay and I have to say their quality is amazing. Armani gets alot of mention in reference to 80s styling but I think cerruti, versace are also really vital. Batemans a detestable person, but his dress style is unmatched, even by his real life counter parts!
07:46 "J&B straight, and a Corona"
In the book Patrick Bateman wears a Rolex but in the movie he wears a Seiko 5 SNXJ90
he just like me frfr
Omg he's literally me 😍
@@yol_n real real real
2:54 clearly not notched lapels
Can you give me the title of the music at the end please ? Looks like it comes from Luxury Elite :)
Very nice video by the way 👍
What clothes will I buy? I like the John Wick suite style! The fifty shades of grey blue purple suite was my idea, well I chose the type of suite and colour material!
Nice
What kind of shoes? I cant understand. Captoe what? Seems like a black leather oxford
what song is your outro song? i need to know!! 😢
It's Unknown Caller by Leisure! You can find it in this album: th-cam.com/video/7eeaO4LWIMk/w-d-xo.html
What is the brand/style of his wallet. I've been looking for her for a long time
nice
correction bateman wears black cap toe oxfords not balmorals
Which brand?
@@gwupxd Bateman would probably wear something from Armani or Allen Edmonds
But if you wanna get some for yourself try Zara the shoes are good quality and affordable
@@drewdurnilappreciationday1680 yeah in the book he actually wears those brands you mentioned (and other brands too), but im curious to the exact brand he wears in the movie
@@gwupxd i think he would wear the same brands in the movie
also please don’t waste your money on leather from Zara
0:30 Song name?
What shoes did he wear? I cant find any with the name you give in the video. Might be searching for the wrong thing though.
Captoe oxfords.
@@Wizbrokun brand?
@@gwupxdAllen Edmonds made nice cap toe, plain Oxfords as well as Wingtips and still make them today.
Drip severe
is it bad that I own everything inspired from this film? and I'm only 22? oof.
Where did you buy them?
Fr
They're just staple pieces. Like oliver people glasses that have a similar model. Suits, ties that are similar to the film. Not the exact brands, but similar mindset, like a nice wool suit. instead of a polyester one. Luxury required to be like patrick bateman.
@@danbee415where do you get those because modern suits have usually a different structure & form like not double bresseded or puffed shoulders
@@schmenyel1020 ebay, google how to get 80% off ebay suits gentleman gazzete. they still do double breasted suits, just usually hard to find.
Why'd you edit out part of his hair on the thumbnail?
Didn't mean to it's just the software
