It's no great accident that the popularity of Mad Men has coincided with a resurgence in early '60s fashion. A sartorial inspiration to men and women alike, we've seen an avalanche of elements from the era spill over into fashion's impressionable mind; and the bulk of the torrent is yet to come.
So say bonjour to fuller figures and longer hemlines as the skirt and dress silhouettes of the late '50s / early '60s swing their way back onto the scene as a 2010 2011 fashion trend
As well as the points already mentioned, there are plenty of other ways to bring the late '50s / early '60s silhouettes into the now. Here are just a few.
* Follow Dries Van Noten's lead for the ultimate in effortless modernising of the '60s full skirt. Throw over a boyfriend blazer with a turned up collar, or a souchy sporty sweat top, and slip on a pair of on-trend sunglasses.
* Try the same silhouettes but with a shorter hemline, such as above the knee or shorter.
* Add a pair of knee high socks that can just be seen below the hemline.
* Look for pieces in fabrics like leather or sheer tulle for an edgy update on the look.
* Pair a full '60s skirt or sheath skirt with a cropped top, exposing a little midriff.
* Wear with one of the more modern 2010 hair trends like a messy topknot or effortless side braid.Think Betty Draper: the overflow of '50s prom style dresses into '60s day wear. Full, below-the-knee circle skirts, cinched in waists, and prim, proper styling.
* Look to Louis Vuitton and Prada who both put ladylike full skirts on their runways for the Fall 2010 season, particularly in heavier fabrics like wool blends.
* For Spring 2011 look to bright, fresh colours and pastels, and prints like florals or stripes (see Jayson
