Audrey Hepburn is the epitome of a classic style icon. She (seemingly) effortlessly balanced elegance, simplicity, mixes of masculine and feminine pieces, European sophistication and relaxed American style all without batting a perfectly lined cat-eye. Her easy, flattering style is emulated just as often today as it was in the 50′s and 60′s. Here are a few quick tips we picked up from adoring Audrey’s classic style:

You can never go wrong with a white collared shirt! This wardrobe staple is a must-have, and will never go out of style. Wear under a sweater, tuck into a high-waisted midi skirt, or wear with simple trousers or cropped denim.

Color blocking is a great way to pull off a classic look. We love this Erdem skirt.

You always look chic in a striped top and cropped black pants.
