White with Black floral print Sabrina Dress
This is an inspired dress from the one that Audrey wore, as you can tell by the print. This dress is a little more versatile and fun looking without the extra length.
GET THIS LOOK!Classic Matte Satin Gloves
This classic ballgown look is not complete without a good pair of satin gloves. Make sure they are MATTE satin (no shine) to match the dress material.

Princess Ann in her full pleated circle skirt! I think what makes this outfit are the sandals and the handkerchief!
All in One – Roman Holiday Set
This set comes with a shirt, skirt, and handkerchief! They say that the official color of the skirt that Audrey wore was a tan khaki.
GET THIS LOOK!Cute Gladiator Sandals
Check out these cute gladiator sandals that match extremely well with the Roman Holiday skirt and collared shirt.
GET THIS LOOK!Full Circle Skirt
I thought that this was a pretty cute color that would go well with the white shirt and tan sandals. It doesn’t have as many pleats, however, I like it that way.
GET THIS LOOK!COMMENTARY: A full circle skirt hemmed at the ankle or just below the knee is a youthful and feminine Hepburn style staple. You can doll it up with a pair of heels and a delicate shirt or wear it more casually with flats and a classic button-down shirt such as she wore on the film Roman Holiday. These types of skirts are also known as Audrey Hepburn skirts to some. Adorable Audrey Hepburn fashion style at it’s best!
Get the Outfit:
Sabrina in her very cute sailing outfit. Focus on the high waisted shorts and cinched fitted plaid shirt to make this look Audrey Hepburn outfit work. The shirt feels relaxed in the arms and fitted in the waist.
Fitted or Cinched Button Up Plaid Shirt
Focus on darker colors to contrast against the white. If the plaid shirt is not a fitted shirt, you can easily tie the bottoms together and cinch it to appear more fitted. There are also photographs where Audrey pops her collar up, you may want to try that.
GET THIS LOOK!White Shorts
Good fitting white shorts are a must have for any woman’s collection. We picked out a very nice brand that we love – 7 for all Mankind.
GET THIS LOOK!COMMENTARY: High-waisted bottoms or cinching the waistline with a belt showcases the femininity of a woman’s body. Audrey always balanced it in a way that was classy by pairing a more conservative top with her high-waisted bottoms. Revealing too much skin or wearing an entirely skin-tight outfit is often more tacky than feminine. She wore dresses with modest hemlines and necklines and played up her figure with a fitted waistline.

A Cozy Cardigan
the red cardigan completes the whole look along with the red shoes that tie it all today. Wear some red lip stick and you’re set!
GET THIS LOOK!Striped Capris
Mix and match different colors to match these capris. Instead of a red cardigan, you can do a blue cardigan.
GET THIS LOOK!COMMENTARY: Audrey often wore high-waisted, fitted trousers and capris and is another timeless Audrey-inspired addition to any wardrobe. You can choose a versatile, ankle-length black trouser-pant like she wore on set of Funny Face or a playful striped pattern.

GET THIS LOOK!A Pearl Necklace
Audrey preferred pearls over diamonds and believed every woman should own a pearl necklace. Pearls are a subtle yet extremely feminine and timeless piece of jewelry. They can be worn to dress-up an elegant evening gown or to polish off a more casual outfit such as a button-up shirt and a fitted trouser.

Audrey loved her pearls because they were simple, classic, and elegant. No need for detailed, intricate designs.

The versatility and timelessness of the little black dress has made it one of the most essential staples within any women’s wardrobe.
Audrey Hepburn’s black sheath dress designed by Hubert de Givenchy within the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s is unarguably the most iconic LBD to date. The dress was coupled with a pearl necklace, black framed sunglasses, and black gloves. This signature look epitomized Audrey’s classically chic style.

Comfortable, cozy, and fashionable. Everyone should have their breton striped shirt
GET THIS LOOK!Sunglasses and Scarfs!
Audrey would often adorn herself in a pair of large, bold sunglasses and would wrap a scarf around her head. She did this largely to retain some form of anonymity within public. Jackie Onassis-Kennedy is a huge style icon in history and was quoted that Audrey Hepburn was her style icon muse. She also wore this manner of scarves with sunglasses as well as many other Hepburn style staples. So if it’s cold outside, don’t forget to wear some extra style for your day with an Audrey Hepburn scarf!
If you want to look like her, then this is one Audrey Hepburn fashion style piece you don’t want to miss out on.

GET THIS LOOK!Audrey Hepburn Hats
Check out our Hat GuideOk, I’m not sure if I could rock the hat the way the Audrey did, but she wore a huge spectrum of hat styles from a timeless beret to the huge, avant-garde hats within the film My Fair Lady to the mod-inspired. If Audrey Hepburn was anything, she was definitely an individual. Audrey showcased her individuality with her choices of hats and wasn’t afraid of taking a fashion risk with the more peculiar styles.
Flats
Perhaps one of the most famous fashion choices Audrey made was in regards to footwear. Rather than heels, she preferred wearing flats and was often photographed wearing simple ballet flats. Perhaps the most iconic pair she wore was the black loafers she wore within the film Funny Face.
Tailored Skirt Suit
Audrey was often photographed out and about in a skirt suit. Skirt suits aren’t just for business women and are a good addition to your wardrobe for refinement and maturity.
Simple Dresses
What made Audrey so timeless is that she tended to wear items of clothing that were understated so that you first notice her instead of the garment. By keeping things simple you can allow your natural features steal the attention.
Audrey often wore very simple sheath dresses.
Simple Crewneck Sweater
Audrey’s style was very demure and sophisticated. Her style relied largely on simple and modest pieces. A simple crewneck sweater and cardigan are essential pieces that anyone can wear plainly or dressed up.
White Button-up Shirts
Ok, I don’t get this, but not a lot of women really wear button up shirts! This is an essential key in any Audrey Hepburn fashion style wardrobe. Audrey makes it look extremely cute right here. If you don’t have a nice fitting button, collared shirt, then you need to get one! A simple white button-up shirt is a wardrobe essential for everyone of any age within the 20th century and to date. I especially like a nice white fitted one. The color white goes with a lot of things, and I think it looks extremely elegant.
Striped Shirts
Red
Audrey was quoted, “There is a shade of red for every woman.” Be boldly feminine and incorporate red into your wardrobe. Red lips simply scream woman and is a timeless yet sexy statement to make.
Audrey started out within the era where bosomy pin-ups like Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield were the women ideal. Audrey didn’t succumb to the more overtly provocative style of dress imposed by the starlets of her time. She chose clothing that she was comfortable in and fit her personality best. Audrey was a trendsetter instead of a trend follower.
Last Words on my Audrey Hepburn Fashion Style Pieces
Remember, the most important thing a woman can wear is self- confidence. Like Audrey, choose clothing that is uniquely you instead of the latest rave.
