In the small world of TV series, fashionistas swear by Sex and the city and Gossip Girl. With Mad Men, men also now have their cult series. Suit gray flannel, gomina and ties Dark, the Don Draper style (Jon Hamm voted man of the year 2008 by the GQ men's magazine) inspires our men. And that's good. Bye bye the streetwear look (jogging + sneakers), place at suit impeccable and cigarette on the beak. Let it be said, the macho man is back, more seductive and charismatic than ever. Because the man of Mad Men is not politically correct: macho and proud to be, he never moves without his dedicated secretary and his glass of whiskey.

In the style of the series, we find Janie Bryant, the alter ego of Patricia Field on Sex and the city and Eric Daman, fashion designer Gossip Girl. His success on Mad Men to have out of the mothballs the out-dated elegance of the sixties.

Decoding a style, style Mad Men, what's this

- Vintage vintage retro allure

- A mix of sober classicism and dandyism

- Of costume crossed

- A neat look: parting on the side, perfect shave

- Lace up shoes

- The ironed shirt, without a fold

- The borsalino

I revook my man in Don Draper (played by Jon Damm): instructions for use

First step: Vacuum the man's wardrobe. Farewell sweatshirts misshapen, jeans too wide, lumberjack shirts. Yes to the neatest of things and ties made of silk. A sort of John Kennedy Brown, Don Draper embodies a very masculine elegance, both refined and strict.

Second step: find LE suit. Mad MenIt's a dive in the 60's. On the style side, suit dark shouldered is in the spotlight. On weekends, the stylish man drops the shirt for a more casual style but not too much. Polo, canvas pants, sweater on the shoulders ...

Aware of the phenomenon, the American designer Michael Kors even dedicated his 2008 collection to the series, a nice sign of recognition while Brooke Brothers published a limited edition of 250 costume gray, cut as in the 60s.
