5 Style Lessons from Jackie Kennedy

Her public appearances were always full of charisma and magnetism. There was allurement in her presence quite different from that of any other. A real style icon,  Jackie O. owned extremely simple, yet elegant trademarks. A symbol of the 1960s fashion, Jackie collaborated closely with fashion designer Oleg Cassini. As her influence grew, she started to develop a passion for Chanel jackets and A-line skirts by Dior. Her most famous signature piece is the triple strand pearl necklace and, obviously, this is our favorite one :).  As we go on, our photo gallery will try to capture Jackie Kennedy’s style and charm.

1. Simple Two Piece

Clean and with simple cuts, the two piece skirt suit became emblematic for Jackie Kennedy. Throw in a pair of kitten heels and a mini-purse and you’ll get a very refined look. The hat and gloves are out of fashion today, but the tailored clothes will always fit you best. Once her style became popular,  famous designers, like Gucci,  even named their line “Jackie” bags, so women can imitate her style easily.

She was bold enough to wear bare arms and shoulders, but the clothing cuts were conservative enough to remain classy. Jackie often opted for bright shades and colors that really made her stand out in the crowd.

2. Pearls, pearls, pearls

In terms on jewels, Jackie occasionally wore diamonds, but her all time favorite jewels were PEARLS.  “Pearls are always appropriate” she used to say and we totally agree with her. There’s no such thing as a perfect time to wear pearls. You can wear pearls when you whenever you feel like it.

Known for her sophisticated sense of style, her love for high quality fabrics and fashion-forward attire, pearls were the ideal way to compliment her vibrant but chic fashion sense with a spark of charm and class.  By looking at these photos, it’s obvious that she wore various types of pearls, but her signature mark was represented by the triple strand of pearls. Just look how nicely everything blends when wearing the right accessory.  If you want to buy pearls like Jackie’s, here is our white pearl necklace with triple strands.
