In the late 1960s, Suzanna Kayser (Winona Ryder) checks herself into Claymoore psychiatric hospital for a nervous breakdown. At Claymoore, she gets to know her fellow patients, including Lisa (Angelina Jolie), a sociopath. Lisa and Susanna’s relationship is the centerpiece to the film, as they sway between being best friends and worst enemies. During their time at the hospital, they teach each other about being true to oneself and finding happiness in even the darkest places.

Now that you’re up to speed on the film, let’s talk Girl Interrupted fashion. Each of the girls in the film has her own ’60s style.

Susanna has a boyish style, as she wears striped tops, baggy trousers, and oversized jackets. She also rocks a Twiggy-esque haircut.

Lisa is very much a rockstar when it comes to her fashion, with her flared jeans and tight t-shirts.

Daisy (Brittany Murphy), is a classic ’60s girl with her thick headbands, bright colors, and tight knit sweaters.

Below, I have created three looks all inspired by the women in Girl, Interrupted. Each look is its own distinct style, so that no matter what your vibe is, you can be inspired by this film.

Girl Interrupted Outfit #1: Susanna

Susanna, the protagonist of the story, is conflicting to watch. At first, she appears to be self centered and distant from people, as all she wants to do is just write in her journal. But as the story goes on, we learn she is just someone who is truly lost in this stage of her life.

Susanna’s style is meant to appear rebellious, to contrast with the polished, traditionally feminine women in her life. She very much has a boyish fashion sense, and loves long sleeve t-shirts and baggy pants, a far cry from her mother’s matching skirt suits.
