The award winning AMC show Mad Men is not only attracting millions of viewers in its fourth season, but it is inspiring fashionistas everywhere to throw it back to the 60’s. Hollywood actors like Piper Perabo and Alexis Bledel are sporting retro styles to red carpets, and fashion lines everywhere are offering old-school trends that are hot hot hot.

To channel January Jones’ Mad Men character Betty Draper, try high-waisted skirts, sweetheart necklines and pearls. She takes on that traditional 60’s housewife look, and those classics never go out of style. Perabo’s mesh-topped dress is so stylish and shows off her great body with a cinched waist. Betty Draper would have totally worn this dress, if a few inches were added to the hemline. Alice + Olivia makes beautiful dresses complete with a-line skirts, bright patterns, and conservative traits, mixed in with high hemlines to bring the look into the 21st century.

Christina Hendricks’ character Joan Halloway isn’t afraid to show off her curves with tight knee-length skirts, boat necks, and bold colors. Pairing a Mad Men inspired piece like an A-line dress or high-waisted skirt with a funky pair of tights, some leather, or a wild accessory will help add a little modern flare to your vintage look. Bledel goes with a business-casual navy skirt and silk blouse but tops it off with red-hot heels and a leopard print bag. She shows off her 1960′s style without losing her 2010 edge.

Ladies, get your man dolled up like Jon Hamm’s Don Draper with a sharp, tailored blue or black suit with the newest mens trend: the skinny tie. Hot celebs like Zac Efron and Ryan Seacrest have been spotted on the red carpet in these classic looks and it is definitely working for them. Hugo Boss makes some of the sleekest styles for men this season, and the thin textured tie paired with a classic silk suit will surely help your man look sharp.
