The Ultimate Guide to Jackie O’s Style
She dressed modestly and stylishly at all times, which means her look is still just as glamorous and iconic as it was then. While a matching tweed jacket and skirt may not be the most modern thing for a young woman to sport today, you can definitely imitate the professionalism of Jackie’s looks with something like the outfit below.

Jackie O’s style doesn’t have to be super glamorous. You can try something a little more subdued. Classic silhouettes, like this off-the-shoulder belted dress, evoke the essence of Jackie’s era without the formality. But of course, if you’re in the mood for something a little fancier…

Go for classic color combos, like white and navy. Another color Jackie donned often was pastel pink. You wouldn’t catch her in neons or loud prints, so stick with softer prints if you want to stay true to Mrs. Kennedy’s flair. But as always, don’t be afraid to make it your own. More than anything, Jackie popularized a couple of different silhouettes and shapes, from the suit sets to the belted waistlines.
