Hollywood has always been an important contributor to the evolution of fashion. It seems like people really enjoy wearing the kind of clothes that their favorite celebrities are using and this has always been crucial to the beginning stages of a new fashion era. There have been plenty of TV shows that have been known for helping revolutionize the fashion world. Some of them have even inspired new trends and others have raised awareness of how important it is to look your best. This is definitely the case with the show Mad Men. Now, there are men from all over the world who want to be able to look as slick and elegant as the Mad Men do, so today we are going to give you some good tips to help you on your way to looking like Don Draper in no time!
The show is set in the 1960’s and so the clothing styles adopt the fragrance of this particular era. So if you’re looking for inspiration – this is the decade to do your homework on. Slightly tighter, well fitted suits will be your first step to achieving this look. As a side note, finding such suits has gotten a lot easier. It seems that the show has really created demand for as well as boosted the sales of this particular type of clothing so with a couple keywords in your favourite search engine, you’ll have a good selection of outlets for your suits.
A key element to the look is not to ignore the fact that tailormade should be your first preference. You can’t expect to pull off the slick Mad Men looks without having your suits made to fit your body style perfectly. If you do buy your suit off the shelf and don’t really want to spend on a custom suit, be sure to get it altered by your favourite tailor to ensure as good a fit as possible. The colors of the suits you choose are also important. Pick vibrant colors and solid patterns – they can actually be extremely elegant if you know how to choose them. Experiment with colors. Try a few suits on and pick those that go well with your skin-tone and hair colour.
Another big thing with the Mad Men look is…wait for it…the shades. Sunglasses can add depth to your overall look and the right pair can add some serious pizzaz. The only general rule is to keep them off when indoors (duh, but you would be surprised how many people actually forget this) – you don’t want to look like a chump.
It seems like the show is doing wonders for the memory of the 60’s. Styles are being revived, new ideas are being developed. If you’re looking to emulate the Mad Men clothing style, you’re part of the story and you know what? It’s a great story to be part of!
