“My only routine is to have no routine,” — Jackie Kennedy Onassis once said. But to be honest, it’s hard to fully believe it. No one wakes up looking this perfect in the morning, especially on vacation.
Summer is usually the season when we feel the urge to experiment with style: florals, bright colors, and bold patterns. But Jackie's secret to a chic summer wardrobe was simplicity, with a few carefully selected elements.
An ideal way to wear it during the day is with a neutral color palette : white, black, navy blue and beige. This doesn't mean we have to give up on color, Jackie loved bright colors, but she usually saved them for the evening.
As for the silhouettes? A shirt slightly unbuttoned at the neckline, carefully tucked into high-waisted pants or skirts is always a safe choice. Capri pants, combined with flat sandals or even barefoot in the Mediterranean islands, are her classics. And don't underestimate the power of a good blouse: with long or short sleeves, with a round neck, it is the definition of summer comfort.
Then, come the accessories , the best part: light scarves, stylishly tied scarves, “invisible” sandals, and the iconic Gucci Constance bag that Jackie carried so often that it was later renamed after her. Find beautiful accessories, not necessarily expensive brands, and use them without hesitation. Jewelry? Minimalist. Sunglasses? Big.
