What To Wear To Your 'Mad Men' Series Finale Party
There are so many lingering questions going into the Mad Men finale that are going to be answered incredibly soon, and so many story lines that still need endings, but one of the most important of them all: What are you going to wear to a Mad Men finale costume party? I mean, you're not just getting ready to say goodbye to all of the characters that fueled the drama, but also mourning some of the best on-screen style of our generation, with countless incredible Mad Men style moments to boot. You obviously need to do so in a way that pays homage to the style icons that these characters became and the decades that the show took us through sartorially.Whether your look is more season 1 Joan or season 7 Peggy, or you're just fixing to wear something cute and vintage-y, getting to play in three decades of style is fun all on its own. You can go full costume-y and combine a bunch of vintage-inspired items, but all of these pieces from ModCloth also work on their own for mixing a little retro flair into your wardrobe on the regular. Whether you decide to go '50s housewife and channel Betty, embrace '60s mod looks, or revel in this spring's '70s trend, there's the perfect piece waiting for tonight's finale and beyond:
