Looking the Part: "Mad Men"
Season four of the sartorially beloved "Mad Men" begins this Sunday, and there are sure to be plenty of new costumes to swoon over. Whether you're hoping to swan around like Betty, or sashay down the halls like Joan, eBay offers everything you need to get the look. In fact, in recent weeks, sellers have increased their "'Mad Men' dress" offerings, by more than 20 percent. We sifted through the sellers' best items and found vintage and new vintage-inspired pieces to take you back to 1964.
Betty
Betty—who’s no longer a Draper—will likely continue wearing plenty of WASP-waisted dresses and styling her hair in a perfect coif, particularly now that she’s the love interest of a prominent politician. The season takes place during the summer of 1964, which means tiny waisted circle skirts and petite feminine jackets will still be prevalent.

Sharkskin 1950s Drop Waist Dress

Joan
We love Joan’s unabashedly hour glass figure, but who doesn't? Now that she’s back with Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, expect her look to stay clean, but maybe a bit more relaxed.

Peggy’s an important exec these days, so if anyone is going to embrace the "new," liberated fashions of the mid-60s, it’ll be her.

Jane
Out of all the women on the show, Jane’s clothing budget is most certainly the highest. She is, after all, the trophy wife of Roger Sterling. Thus she’s sure to wear some extravagant ensembles.

Don
It might be 1964, but Don’s still a traditional guy. Don’t expect his hair to get too long or his suits too brown. And yes, the pocket square is here to stay.
