The Don Draper Style Guide
Don Draper has influenced men's style worldwide since the airing of Mad Men. Tailored suits, sophistication paired with the right accessories make Mr Draper a style icon. Well Groomed Hair
Don sports a short, combed to one-side, hairstyle favoured by many businessmen around the world. You'll never see a hair out of place and this no fuss hairstyle looks great. To imitate simply use the Short Hairstyle guide and apply a 'wet' finish product with a 'strong' hold to sweep it to the side and to move the sides backwards.
Tailored Suits
It's no secret that every women loves a man in a suit. Don is the king of well fitted, tailored suits. When buying a suit ensure the shoulder length ends with yours. Check the sleeves end just before base of the hands and visit a tailor to get the suit fitted perfectly. One tailored suit is better than five off the rack purchases,
Suit and Tie Matching He knows how to match suit and tie. Whether it's a classic black tie, or one of his striped favourites, Don never ceases to amaze. Take note of his smart and simple choices. Pair a solid colour tie that matches the suit colour to imitate a classic look or use a patterned tie over a plain suit to stand out. Try to avoid mixing patterns (no striped with check and vice versa)
Accessories
The pocket square has grown in popularity ever since Mad Men aired. Add one to accessorise your formal fashion using a burst of colour that matches the shirt colour. You can use a plain white one (see main photo) to help accent the business shirt underneath your jacket. Attitude
This is one of the most important aspects of Don Draper's style, separating the boys from the men. Walking with good posture, confidence and a natural stride brings out the best in your clothing. If you're dressed well you'll feel good. Add a confident attitude to the mix and you'll be collecting numbers like an accountant.
