Additionally, you could wear cigarette pants, paired with a striped knit sweater and a printed scarf in your hair, a favorite outfit of the show's costume designer, Janie Bryant.

"One scene in particular, which was one of my favorite costumes ever for Joan Holloway (Christina Hendricks), was when she was in black cigarette pants I designed for her – and this red knit tee with a gorgeous silk scarf tied in her hair."
