The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel has been a hit comedy series for the past three years, and there is no wonder why it is such a hit. It is full of witty dialogue, hilariously awkward moments, complex characters, and, most importantly for our purposes, astounding ’50s style.

As far as I’m concerned, Mrs. Maisel is one of the most stylish women not only on the show but in TV history.

Midge Maisel’s wardrobe is full-on ’50s, but with quite a bit of variety. By day she is the ideal ’50s housewife, wearing her head-to-toe matching patterned ensembles. But by night, she is a hilarious comedian who wears some of the greatest party dresses ever put on screen.

If you are intrigued by Midge’s marvelous style, keep reading for our full Mrs. Maisel fashion guide. It’s easier than you think to make her ’50s look work for today!

Mrs. Maisel Fashion: The Housewife

The Essentials: Swing dresses, OTT hats, small bags, & swing coats

Mrs. Maisel’s fashion sense is quintessential wealthy 1950s housewife. Though she does leave her husband at the beginning of season 1, Midge keeps up her housewife persona through her lifestyle and her wardrobe.

She is often sporting the latest 1950s trends, and makes sure to be the most fashionable person in the room.

For this modern take on a ’50s housewife look, I was inspired by Midge’s season 1 all red ensemble.

To get it, grab an a-line silhouette dress in red and bring it into 2020 with some modern accessories. I choose a modern coat that has vintage elements to it, and a patterned beret that makes a serious statement. Add a little more ’50s style with a small bag and simple heels.
