The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping opens on 20 November, and the stills so far include a butterfly fascinator, some excellent check trousers and a stylist wearing a snake. Bina Daigeler took over the costumes from Trish Summerville, and she told Bustle the references were "the '60s and '70s". Mckenna Grace told E! News that Stevie Nicks was on all the mood boards.
The film isn't out yet, so I'm going on the official stills, the trailer and what the cast and designer have said. Some of this you should absolutely copy. Some of it should stay in Panem. (For what the cast wore to promote it, see the premiere looks.)

Seven Sunrise on the Reaping costumes, and what to buy instead
Effie's printed scarf
Young Effie wears a dark olive jacquard dress with a tan leather belt, set blonde curls and a gold butterfly on her head. The same orange and blue print is tied at her neck and spilling out of both cuffs. Daigeler says you can see "a glimpse of Vivienne Westwood" in Effie's costumes. Skip the butterfly and buy the scarf. A printed square knotted at the neck costs very little and fixes the black jumper you're bored of.

How to wear the 70s side of Panem
Stick to one loud thing
Panem wears everything at once. In daylight, one print or one shiny piece is plenty.
Tie something at your neck
It's the fastest way into this look. If you only buy one thing from this page, buy the scarf.
Start with wine and olive
Drusilla's yellow takes nerve and ideally a microphone. Burgundy, olive and rust go with what you already own.
Buy what outlives the film
If it only makes sense at a screening, skip it. The mini and the burgundy dress will still be good in spring.
The film is in cinemas on 20 November. Prices and sizes on these rails change, so if something's right, don't sit on it.
