Audrey Hepburn is without a doubt one of the most famous style icons in history. She embodies timeless feminine style, and she’s been a personal icon of mine for years. So today I’m breaking down Audrey Hepburn’s summer style to help you give your summer outfits a classic feel.

While most of Audrey’s most famous looks are more fall/winter-appropriate (think turtlenecks and trousers), I still find myself asking “What would Audrey wear?” in the summer.

The answer? High waisted shorts, breezy button downs, and flirty dresses.

Audrey Hepburn’s summer style is, of course, classic and chic. Her outfits are tailored to perfection with a splash of femininity.

The beauty of Audrey’s summer style is that it can be worn anywhere as well. A picnic, the beach or even on a Roman Holiday. To freshen up your closet, here are a few summer outfits inspired by Audrey Hepburn.

I adore is this little white dress look of Audrey’s — it’s such a classic.

The fit and flare style of this dress is sweet and classic, making it one to mimic for the summer season.

An eyelet dress, like this Unique Vintage one, is the perfect one to mirror Audrey’s. With a soft, graceful look and a skirt made for twirling, you’ll be as timeless as Audrey in this number. 

Simple and charming accessories are always Audrey-approved. I love how she rocks them here.

To start, a little boater hat is a great choice to keep the sun out of your eyes in style. Subtle but also sweet, it is a playful addition to this little white dress.

To bring more depth and texture to the look, try adding a woven belt. Defining the waist and breaking up the all white look is key for a more tailored outfit.
