Happy birthday to the stars & stripes and of course, if there is one all-time American fashion icon that pays homage to style, it is none other than Jacqueline Kennedy Onnasis.
This first lady, philanthropist, socialite and all-around lady always knew the way to make a statement in some incredible style pieces. From her early days, she knew impeccably how to dress for any occasion, in many times starting even a trend and causing a fury amongst women worldwide.
When next to JFK, she was always buttoned up and perfectly coiffed, but later on when she became Mrs. Onassis, she showed a more free-spirited aesthetic filled with tunics, lots of stripes, her signature sunnies and a very Americana feel.
Even half a century later, her timeless style is seen on streets around the world, and I am sure she’ll be on the inspiration boards of many fashionistas for decades to come.
Happy birthday, land of the free and may we be blessed with many more fashion legends like Jackie O!
