To channel your inner Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper), you first need a button down dress shirt. In the film, DiMaso wore a lot of white button downs, but you can also incorporate autumn colors like cranberry, deep browns or navy. Cooper’s character wore a lot of suits, but you can pair some khakis with that button down and a tweed or leather blazer. Shape was a big factor for men’s fashion in the 1970s, so get creative with structure in the jacket and pants.

Silence + Noise Silky Diamond Jumpsuit: Urban Outfitters

In American Hustle, Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams) truly lets it all hang out. In practically every scene, she’s wearing the lowest v-cut neckline without a bra, and she looks like she’ll pop out at any moment. If you aren’t as daring as Adams’ free-spirited character, try for a v-neck jumpsuit, a deep-v back dress or a slightly higher v-neck dress. You’ll look stunning without letting the girls run free.
