Faye Dunaway’s look in ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ never ceases to inspire me as autumn approaches. Those knit sweaters and that rakish beret with her impeccable blond bob. Her hair gets more unkempt and wild as she and Clyde come closer to getting caught. I adore this trailer from the 1967 film for its sweet, romantic opening, the chic credits, and the deadpan narration. ‘With the giggles still in their ears, they had bloodied up four states,’ says the voice over.

Bonnie sticks mostly with great sweaters, v-neck blouses, and dresses throughout the film. This pullover ($88) -- in pumpkin -- from Anthropologie reminds me of her simple style. Same goes for this Catherine Maladrino black merino wool top ($395; net-a-porter.com) on the left that looks great over a short sleeved white blouse or even on its own. Add a pencil skirt and you’re set. I also love these crocheted berets from Urban Outfitters ($14.99), because they are perfectly suited for steamy L.A. nights.
Gun, never included.
