“Dressing ‘The Irishman’: Polyester Pantsuits and Capo Collars” —The New York Times

“The movie’s backbone is a road trip taken by Sheeran, Bufalino and their wives, Irene and Carrie (Stephanie Kurtzuba and Kathrine Narducci). Riding in the back, the women sport similar Pucci-style polyester pantsuits with matching accessories and bouffants, stopping frequently to smoke.

“For these characters, the colors had to be bright but muted, like family Polaroids from the period,” Powell said. “You want them seen but not distracting.” And they needed to look a little dated, she added, wearing styles that reflected their “heyday” in the late 1960s, as opposed to the more modern looks of the ’70s, when the trip takes place. “You kind of hang onto your best time, don’t you?” she said.”
