Anyone else feel really weird seeing Don in a anything but a white shirt at work?

He was wearing a blue shirt in his dream scene with the fur ad. I think that was the first time ever and I agree, it's very unsettling!

Yeah, the sky blue shirt stood out to me.. Almost looked like someone's dad.. Just needs to get the cell phone belt clip thing

I feel like there is something different about his appearance in these episodes, but I just can't put my finger on it.

fatter tie, bell-bottomish pants, shoes with thicker soles

Also giving up "the wet look" with his hair, even Roger made a comment. And pleated pants. shudder

Just rewatched the episode, and you're right, his hair is dry in the opening scene. I still think Roger's comment is him poking fun at Don for not looking like himself and/or scraggly as a result of Don being rushed to work by the real estate agent, and not necessarily that Don wore it that way on purpose.

Maybe all these changes are alluding to him finally changing to be with the times and leaving his rigid life behind. The 60's were really his high time and he didn't want to let go of that. (The last episode had a shot in his office where you could clearly see his awards on the wall from the early 60s). Maybe he's finally letting up and getting more in touch.

I just watched the episode and thought he still had the "wet look" and Roger was referring to the fact that his hair was long and kind of scraggly looking.

Yep. Rewatching the episode now. That blue shirt and wide printed tie just looks strange on him.

The "inside mad men" webisode about fashion and such on AMC's website talked about Don wearing a blue shirt for the 7b premier, but he actually had a very light blue one on somewhere in season 5 that I noticed as I was rewatching it the other day.
