On theme for the season, this bonus episode is about the trope-filled 80s/90s menswear of Scrooged (1988). Everything is coded for audience convenience: corporate guys wear DB power suits, and a nerd has round glasses and a bow tie. But here’s the thing– it’s all good! And not only does this film make good use of menswear stereotypes, but it also features some niche moves that you don’t see today, like proper black tie outerwear, a festive doeskin waistcoat, and vibrant, argyle-filled golf attire. The costuming in this movie is charming, as it not only fits the characters who wear it but also serves as great inspo fodder!
