Spring Lookbook Inspired by Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn’s simple and elegant style continues to be timeless throughout the decades. Her iconic manner of dressing is accessible, yet so versatile in incorporating into your everyday wardrobe. With these chic and comfortable styles, we will all be channeling our inner Audrey Hepburn this spring.

Outfit 1: Casual Outing

This outfit is perfect for when you are running late in the morning, and you have to gracefully sprint to class in less than 20 minutes. First, start with a pair of slim-fitting, ankle-length, high-waisted pants in either plaid or navy. Next, grab a simple crew neck short sleeve crop top. As for shoes, flats or even white sneakers will do. Last, but not least accessories. Light makeup, geometrical gold hoops and a pearl necklace will complete the overall look.

Outfit 2: Who is She?

When you finally make it back from Paris after having the glow-up of the century, and are tired of hiding in the branches of a tree to watch others party, here’s the perfect outfit. Begin with a low square neckline and puffy-sleeved bodysuit or blouse, inspired by Hepburn’s dresses in War and Peace. Paired with a tightly-fitting, calf-length skirt and block heels. To top it off, accessorize with a mix of pearls and gold for a classic touch.

Outfit 3: Botanical Garden Tour

Now that it’s officially spring, it’s time to stop and smell the roses at the UGA Botanical Garden. I am currently obsessed with mock necklines, and so was Audrey. Simply style a mock-neck tank top in any pastel color of your choice, with your favorite mid-thigh, high-waisted jean shorts. Bring a sun hat and scarf to accessorize and don’t forget sunscreen!

Outfit 4: Eloping to Coastal France

If you should ever elope to the coast of France, be sure to pack a puffy-sleeve dress, Mary Jane pumps and a Prada handbag. The only other accessory you will need is a beautiful diamond ring.

With these blooming looks, you will be a breath of spring fresh air to anyone who is still in their heavy winter clothing funk. Make sure to add your own creative style by incorporating your own extra flares, and you are sure to knock the pollen off anyone who crosses your path.
