The Television show Mad Men, HAS to be one if not THE most stylish TV series for this generation of Men. Yes, the ladies have had Sex and the City, but Mad Men for us guys has been equally important to the well dressed man about town. Yes, it has great story lines, sexy characters and it set during VERY cool times, but it has to be the clothes and the work of the genius and Emmy Award-winning Costume Designer Janie Bryant that has made it what it is today.

For Spring 2013, stylish retailer Banana Republic have worked once again with US TV Network AMC and Janie Bryant on a ‘Mad Men’ collection.  The show now in its  sixth season, sees the capsule range, moves away from the Camelot era’s early ‘60s look and into the late ‘60s mod fashions to reflect the fact the show has jumped forward a few years and is now set in the late 60’s era.

This season’s collection now features more than 50 pieces of apparel and accessories for men and women and translates the late ‘60s love of prints, color and geometry on iconic items including mod staple apparel pieces and accessories with a nod to the decade.  Specific key pieces for us Men, that can’t get enough of this era include, bold plaids and stripes, the emergence of the sport coat, and the sophisticated suit for the boardroom meetings where looking sharp is essential. Fedoras and skinny ties complete the look with a nod to the time period while remaining contemporary and won’t have you looking like your on your way to a theme party.
