Despite passing away decades ago, former First Lady Jackie Kennedy has remained a style icon. She had no problem transitioning from each season, rocking a gorgeous new look every time she stepped out. And today, while we’re still loving all the fall inspo, we’re looking at one of her most iconic looks for inspiration. Okay, so let’s take it back to the end of Aug 1970, when she was out and about during a shopping trip in Capri, Italy. It translates so well for both summer and fall, and with this fall being, erm, unseasonably warm (yes, we’re panicking too), we’re going to make the most of the transitional weather by rocking a lookalike of Kennedy’s 1970 look.
The Long Black Crewneck
A good fall staple is a dark crewneck that you can dress up, like how Kennedy did for this elevated fall look back in 1970. While we don’t know what exact top she wore, it was easy to find an affordable lookalike on Amazon that had the same hue and neckline. And don’t worry, this lookalike has sizes available, from extra small to 6X.
The Dark Maxi Skirt
Along with the plain top, you need a bold maxi or midi skirt to tie it all together. You can go with simple white polka dots, like in the $20 lookalike, or you can try to find one with more gold dots like Kennedy’s. But if you’re really ina DIY mood, you can add gold dots to the $20 lookalike with fabric paint! Boughie on a budget.
The Brown & White Bag
Okay, so the bags Jackie Kennedy often wore were from Gucci. While they’re gorgeous, they’re also super pricey, so why not treat ourselves to a chic bag with the same color scheme for a fraction of the price? To achieve this look, all you need is a white and brown bag, and this one is perfect!
The Oversized Black Sunglasses
Kennedy loved a statement sunglasses look, and so many of her looks had one of these glasses handy. so why not block the sun and look fabulous like Kennedy at the same time? While any sunglasses could work, the oversized circular ones are peak Kennedy 70s goodness.
The Large Golden Belt
A statement belt never goes out of style. For this look, you can go bigger, the better. While the design and buckle can vary, know it just has to be gold to match the vibe!
