How to achieve that authentic Mad Men look
Mad Men was first shown on the American cable network AMC in 2007. The stylish show set in a 1960's Manhattan advertising agency has been a huge success both sides of the Atlantic. This has inspired a huge boom in 1960's fashion. But how can you achieve that authentic look without breaking the bank?
The answer is to buy vintage clothing. There is a huge choice of authentic vintage clothing available online now so Devoted 2 Vintage provides some top tips to help you to achieve that Mad Men look.
There are two key female characters in the show with their own distinct styles. One is the scheming alpha female Joan Holloway, the other blonde mother and housewife Betty Draper. Both looks are very different.
To achieve the Joan Holloway look a figure hugging vintage dress is essential to really show of your curves. You can pick these up in many colours and fabrics, from the businesslike wool dresses in muted tones to the more glamorous cocktail dresses with shimmering fabrics. This look can be completed to a vintage necklace and a classic vintage Kelly style handbag.
The Betty Draper housewife look is much more casual. To achieve this look a classic vintage cotton shirtwaist dress is perfect. These dresses are typically buttoned to the front with cinched waist and full pleated skirt, worn with a full layered underskirt. To complete the look wear a pearl necklace and cropped vintage cardigan.
Both of these looks became popular in the 1950's and have always been a popular look for vintage aficionados but the success of Man Men has really increased demand over the last couple of years.
Paul Armstrong, owner and founder of Devoted 2 Vintage says "The glamorous Man Men look can be easily achieved on any budget and buying authentic vintage dresses will ensure that you get that unique outfit that will stand out from the crowd".
