The best part of the costumes on the show is that the characters RE-WORE OUTFITS. I love that fact so much

[chantelleg]

sooo what you’re saying is that mad men is historically accurate and a GREAT show

[jacobjacquin]

I don't even watch Mad Men but I love watching Raisa Bretaña explaining fashion. OMG she's awesome!!

The wardrobe on this show BLEW ME AWAY when it was airing! It's like a whole other character. I lived for the Tom and Lorenzo analysis posts. This is basically my favorite decade of fashion and the amount of research, care, and detail that went into not only the costuming, but the set and production design on Mad Men still gets me so hype. Janie Bryant is such a treasure. I love Raissa's commentary in general and any excuse to remember how good the style was in Mad Men.

Love love love this. I also like that Betty and Don don’t dramatically shift styles in the show, but both Peggy and Stan did. Interesting parallel.

Being a child of the 50's and 60's (I was born in 1952) I saw and lived the clothing featured. My mother wore the sheath dresses of the 50's and even though she wore aprons, she mostly wore pants or skirts. I dressed very much like most kids of the period until I turned about thirteen. Then I began dressing in my own style: mini skirts, bright colored stockings, boots ect . . . Even as old as I am, I still like wearing bell bottoms and ponchos 😊✌💗

I wish Megan had been included in this list!

My grandma still wears a bullet bra when she is dressing up aka going to church. LOL

I loved Betty's outfits when she and Don went to Rome. Actually, she had the best outfits of the show, and I also loved the iconic dress that Megan wore when she sang the French song.

As much as I love these vintage shows, it's made it impossible to buy vintage clothes at a decent price.

[nokocchi]

i love the attention to detail mad men has. they really made sure everything was accurate!!

[madmisskelly]

The 60's had some of the coolest fashion!

[brittanytiera]

Betty Draper’s fashion is breathtaking to me. I love the colors she used for her skin tone.
