The ladies of Mad Men are hotter than ever this year and we love the idea of dressing up as them for Halloween, especially since the clothes are oh-so-covetable. With the Janie Bryant for QVC line, and so many vintage inspired dresses at ModCloth – it’s especially easy this year:
For starters, the curvaceous Joan Holloway, with her form-hugging dresses and mod accessories, is one costume that will make your guy’s mouth drop.
Paired with her signature red hair, this firey Wardrobe Essential Dress ($79.99) from ModCloth is exactly the type of piece Joan would wear around the office. But it earns bonus points for being totally wearable (and wallet-friendly!) in the real world, too.
Leopard is everywhere this year, and this Janie Bryant MOD Retro Animal Print Handbag ($79.75) from Mad Men stylist Janie Bryant’s QVC line, will be the perfect complement to your siren-red dress.
Joan often accessorizes with brooches and this MOD Multi Color Floral Motif Pin/Enhancer ($72.50), also from Janie Bryant’s QVC line, looks like it could have been found in a vintage store. Just throw on a pair of great pumps and a swipe of red lipstick, and you’re all set, Ms. Holloway!
But Joan isn’t the only Mad Men-inspired Halloween costume we have in mind this year. There’s also Betty Draper, whose more demure sexiness is wrapped up in ladylike frocks and lace gloves.
This Rose Menagerie Dress ($117.99), also from ModCloth, has Betty Draper written all over it. And we’re already planning on wearing it to garden weddings come spring.
These White Cat-Eye Sunglasses ($11.91) look exactly like the ones Betty wears on Mad Men and, conveniently, the cat-eye trend is huge this year. Rock them with a leather bomber jacket once they’ve served their Halloween purpose!
The key to this look, though, might just be a pair of sweet lace gloves ($2.98). If you’d like, add on a headband and a ladylike purse, and you’re good to go!
