Style tips:
Trench: Every woman should have a classic trench in her wardrobe. It's the ultimate, versatile spring transition piece. Wear it with punky leather shorts and a tee for an edgy look or, in this case, with a classic shift, for an elegant outfit.
Dress: The shift was a wardrobe staple for Jackie O. This Banana Republic version feels fresh, tapping into spring's lace trend.
Necklace: If traditional pearls feel a little costumey, consider a string with modern details like this one by Alexis Bittar. Strung with brown silk ribbon, it has freeform sterling silver touches.
Sunglasses: Large sunglasses were a Jackie O signature. These TopShop lucite-style shades add a little mod edge.
Watch: The only accessory more famous than her sunglasses was Kennedy's Cartier tank watch. This Bulova watch is a more affordable version of that shape.
Shoes: Round toe flats and pumps were a Kennedy shoe staple. Buying nude-colored flats and pumps help elongate the leg.
Handbag: If Kennedy were around today, she might carry a ladylike bag from Kate Spade. The nude patent leather is a great fit for spring, pairing well with the season's warm neutrals as well as its focus on color blocking.
