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.
