Mad Men’s best dressed: The most memorable looks throughout seven seasons
[gallerylink]
This Sunday, May 17th, Mad Men will come to an end after seven glorious seasons, and effectively leave us both in tears and in think piece heaven. (It’s the only way we’ll be able to pick up the pieces.)
But today, we distract you. Thanks to the genius of costume designer Janie Bryant, Mad Men has established itself as an aesthetic force, helping to usher in a vintage (and vintage-inspired---thank you, Banana Republic) craze that, despite the series’ reminder that the ‘60s were anything but idyllic, has over-romanticized the era.
Well, we don’t have time for that. Today, we cut to the chase and rank Mad Men’s best-dressed characters (women only -- sorry, Pete’s shorts), which we expect will create just as much controversy as the addition of Don’s waitress obsession this season. Get set.
See the best-dressed list (from best to worst) below. And yes, there are spoilers.

1. Peggy Olson Best look: The Pant Suit™ Peggy’s style evolution is unparalleled. From being told to stop dressing like a little girl in season two to walking into McCann Erickson like a boss, Ms. Olson has bossed up exponentially, daring to wear prints, menswear-inspired pieces, and this black dress in season six. The only character whose style evolution comes close? Stan. (Which is just another reason why they’re meant for each other.)
