Lady in red

Looking for the perfect red dress for the new season? Well look no further than this fantastic buy from Oasis (£50).

It’s so ladylike, with cute ruffles on the sleeves and pretty bow details to draw attention to the waist. We love the Peter Pan collar which you’ll spot a lot in Autumn/Winter collections this year.

The shape is 60s-inspired which is big news this season. It’s all about Mad Men styling and femininity. Complete your ladylike look with a chic bag carried in the crook of your arm and a pair of kitten heels.

So ditch the black for a while, and be a lady in red.

Get A Mad Men Fashion Makeover

We don’t know about you, but we’ve very happy to see the return of Mad Men to our TV screens. If you’ve not seen this stylish show, where have you been? Set in an advertising agency in the ‘60s, it’s not just the storylines that are compelling – the fashion is as well!

Men in suits, women in slinky pencil skirts – forget the ‘60s, it’s the perfect office wear for today. So to help you channel your inner Joan Holloway or Betty Draper we’ve picked out some of our top Mad Men inspired buys.

This look obviously has ‘60s undertones but don’t go the full hog otherwise you’ll end up looking like you’re going to a fancy dress party. Think pencil skirts, sexy court shoes, twinset cardigans, swing jackets and the ultimate Mad Men accessory – red lippie!
