4 Style Lessons You Can Learn From Audrey Hepburn

-

Audrey Hepburn is that name we always remember when we think of style icons, right? The actress died in 1993, but her legacy continues to inspire many women with her unique and completely timeless style. Today is a day for inspiration from Audrey Hepburn's timeless style.

Who doesn't remember the iconic looks of Breakfast at Tiffany's? Or her fringe that has been trending for a long time? It is still possible to learn a lot from Audrey and we have here some fashion lessons from her style!


1. Have timeless pieces in your wardrobe!

More than ever, everyone realized that clothes are not disposable. They are to repeat and to use a lot ! Audrey used pieces that until today are iconic and serve as a reference for us.

The basic black dress of Breakfast at Tiffany's, the tailored traoussers, the suits, the sneakers, the sweaters, the stripes… Anyway, pieces she could wear on several occasions, regardless of trends.

I love to know what's new and trending, but it's nice to have this understanding when buying clothes. Invest in good materials, interesting cuts, pieces that cross collections and that will always be good for you. It is important to know that they are there in the wardrobe to be used, not just to take up space!


2. Never underestimate the power of accessories

Audrey wore a lot of handkerchiefs - both on her head, and a little cute one around her neck. And that wearing a neck scarf was popularized by her at the time because it was a new function for the accessory.

Designer Oliver Goldsmith's big glasses used in Breakfast at Tiffany's are also very striking. It also has the hats she wore on various models and occasions. Oh, and here I can include the makeup used by Audrey. She always worked a lot of eyes with a lot of mascara, well defined eyeliner and sometimes some discreet eyeshadows.


3. Have a brand that will always dress you well!

Audrey Hepburn and Givenchy were like one! The success of her movie Sabrina was responsible for her falling into the graces of fashion at the time. And who adopted her as a muse was Hubert de Givenchy, the creator of the brand that bears his surname. Givenchy has dressed Audrey on several occasions and was also responsible for the iconic black dress of Breakfast at Tiffany's. To give you an idea of ​​this power, in 2006 the piece sold for 800 thousand dollars!

Givenchy said Audrey had a very different style to the time, very modern and with looks that could be used for decades. In fact, working together, the two created pieces that seemed to be ahead of their time. And Audrey always praised the designer for making pieces that perfectly matched her personality.

Of course, not everyone is lucky enough to have a stylist like Givenchy to do their pieces, but it's so cool when we find a brand that matches our style! That brand that almost never make mistakes, that will always have something tailored for you. It is these “perfect weddings” that save our wardrobe!



4. What is most striking about your style?

One of the striking things about Audrey's look was her bangs. The actress has worn this haircut for years and inspired many women to wear bangs too! For a long time, even, that shorter fringe she wore almost in the middle of her forehead became a trend and was adopted by many people who wanted something different in their hair.

It's amazing that we have something remarkable about our style. Be it a piece of clothing we always wear, a haircut, a lipstick colour… It's that “trademark” thing that will make people remember you always!


From the basic little black dresses to the haircut to the full eyebrows, Audrey had this classic fashion, full of references that even after 25 years of her death are still there for us to inspire and reproduce!
