Mad Men Yourself For Halloween: A Betty Draper Costume We’d Wear Year Round

Let’s be honest: A Betty Draper “costume” is just a good excuse for me to wear my dream outfit, which looks silly on most other occasions.

The centerpiece should be a modest, full-skirted dress; this one is absolutely perfect, thanks to the belt, high neckline, and retro-looking jacquard.

Bring an impractically tiny clutch and stuff it with cigarettes – you don’t handle the money or the car keys, so no need to accommodate them in your bag. Make sure the cigarettes are fake, though, because unlike Manhattan in the ‘60s, you can’t smoke anywhere anymore.

Add delicate, pointy-toed heels, a blonde wig you can style like Betty’s, and a man in Brooks Brothers’ exclusive Mad Men suit.

For more options to fit into a Mad Men-themed costume, take a look at pleated skirts and comfortable high heels.
