Ten episodes into the fourth season of "Mad Men" and the plot is thickening to nail-whittling levels, not in small part due to the unpredictable and revolutionary '60s setting.
While Peggy's quasi-beatnik wardrobe choices have had us captivated for a few episodes, the whip-smart copywriter was absent this time round, leaving room for the other dazzling women to really shine.
First up is the ever-dashing Joan, who is slowly starting to switch out her signature jewel-toned skintight dresses for, well, skintight floral dresses and printed blouses tucked into high-waisted skirts. While one might imagine '60s florals to be loud and bright, we're loving Joan's versions, which are relatively toned down.
In the opening scene, the red-haired siren dons a silky white tie-neck blouse with a gentle yellow, peach, and black floral pattern, and later wears a floral frock in a beautiful medley of burgundy, plum, turquoise, and pine green.
Other sartorial highlights include Betty dressed down in a casual white eyelet tank, loose gray plaid shorts, and her straight hair pulled back into a simple pony, and Peter Campbell's very pregnant wife Trudy in a hilarious pale pink powder puff of a nightgown featuring tulle tiers and a Lady Gaga-worthy sky-high hemline.
Aside from the killer getups on the main cast of characters, we loved when Don Draper and his British colleague Lane Pryce visited one of the storied Playboy Clubs.
Within the cocktail clubs, of course, are the Playboy Bunnies, who, feminist politics aside, are absolutely to die for in sculpted and high-waisted silk bustier suits in a variety of Skittles hues, accessorized with matching bunny ears, white collars and cuffs, and fluffy rabbit tails.
Since it's revealed that Pryce is dating one of the bunnies, we're hoping to get a few more peeks into the club as season 4 rages on. (If that doesn't happen -- and even if it does -- we are so buying Chronicle Books's new "50 Years of the Playboy Bunny" tome. Swoon!)
