How to Get the Mad Men Style Watchmojo.com Veronica: So far Mad Men has won too many awards to mention but let’s face it the best part of the show is the clothes their wearing. Hi I’m Veronica of WatchMojo.com and today we’re at Banana Republic to recreate the looks you covet at home. So for those of us who already don’t know, tell us about the show Mad Men? Jeffrey Spivock: (Banana Republic) It’s a really popular show on AMC set in the advertising world of the 1950’s. It’s a very beautifully shot show. The attention to detail is amazing the sex, the look but especially the costumes. We were extremely happy to be able to partner with them and bring to life a collection interpreted by the looks of Mad Men and of the 1950’s. Veronica: How would you describe the men’s wear from the 50s? Jeffrey: The men, the most important thing is tailor you want to get a great seat that’s really high on the arm hold. It’s going to be the skinnier leg and that’s really just made for you. It’s just a look that looks great on you, that would be the most important and of course there’s the details, there’s slightly inter tie the pop of a white shirt. And then extra details cufflinks as well as tie clips these are all little elements that you can easily take from Mad Men and sort of interpret it in your own way. Veronica: And how do you describe the women’s wear? Jeffrey: The women’s wear that we’re looking at was really great women’s office wear. It’s really interesting time in the 1950’s and there’s really a sort of different types of looks that have been interpreting. It’s all about the dress. The dress is really important for the office. It’s obviously very conservative in a certain ways but there’s also the confidence of the shape especially with a character like Joan. She’s a woman who knows she has nerves and isn’t afraid to show them off. Peggy on the other hand is growing on the other hand is growing into her confidence and so she wears it in the slightly different way. For 1950’s it’s all about showing off your waist and the hour glass figure. The belt on top of the sweater for example, the sweater set with a high waisted skirt, these are all modern interpretations of the 1950s that are so on trend for today. WatchMojo.com
