Mad Men Style Recap, Episode 2
Don is still showing his unwavering commitment to diagonally lined, monochrome ties. There are clearly other neckwear options, as seen on Roger (chalk-white and black dots) or Lane (shocking red), but Don is too bedraggled to even trouble oneself, at this point, what he looks like. This episode shows Don Draper to be a consummate mess. His style is failing, no longer keeping up his surface image as a successful, American businessman; his suits are dead and not special, and his behavior is that of a sloppy drunk. If it weren’t for that crafty twinkle in his eye, we wouldn’t recognize this Don Draper at all. Here’s to hoping Don gets back on unchanged footing, both sartorially and in life altogether.Part of Don’s shameful behavior includes attempting to corrupt every woman within five feet of him.

After her Christmas party she lugs a drunk Don into his apartment, wearing a gold brocade tell off with black lace tights, slim dangly earrings, and the whisker and makeup of Edie Sedgwick . It was a moment of fashion blessedness. Next, Don puts the moves on a blond, female marketer who will have none of it. During her unveiling Don notably exits, refusing to complete her personal appraise. Realistically, he probably left because staring at a woman covered in embargo and white houndstooth is nothing but an eyesore. She even had a matching houndstooth scarf to off her suit. How anyone else stayed in that meeting is a mystery. She makes up for it at the Christmas soir in a chic black dress with a cut away neckline and superlatively bobbed hair. Even then, however, she has no patience for Don’s attempts.
