The Mad Women

The Mad Women Tips

1. Put on flats instead of heels to feel truly modern. A woman on the go needs comfort, practicality, and the ease to break out into a skip on the sidewalk.

2. French-Italian designer Pierre Cardin gained international popularity in the 1960s for his geometric printed shift dresses and mod airline stewardess uniforms.

3. Tie a scarf into a choker and add drop earrings over a simple dress for a night out, but go bare in the daytime, maybe just adding a touch of eyeliner.

4. The costumes on AMC's Mad Men are designed by Janie Bryant, a costume designer whose previous work includes HBO's Deadwood series.

5. A dramatic chevron print is an unexpected alternative to stripes or dots. It looks best worn with a blunt haircut and a devil-may-care smirk.
