Audrey Hepburn, a style icon



 Although a fashion icon, Audrey’s fashion advice to women centered on inner beauty. She stressed the importance of "wearing your clothes", rather than letting them wear you. By developing an authentic and confident self, you can learn to let your clothing be in its rightful place, as an adornment of a more beautiful person.

 Here are 20 style lessons we can learn from the beautiful Audrey Hepburn :

1. Sometimes, a simple dress is all you need. You can let your natural features steal the attention.

2. Gloves add a touch of sophistication to any outfit. Hepburn's cutesy look was elevated by her immaculate white gloves.

3. Always accessorize and protect your face with a stylish woven hat -- even if you're just cleaning the pool.

4. Striped t-shirts and cropped haircuts can still look super feminine. Hepburn's confidence made this boyish look shine. 

5. Wearing a cozy nightgown is completely acceptable. You don't always have to wear skimpy things to bed -- comfort takes precedence!

6. A belt cinched in the middle of a dress creates a lovely shape. Hepburn amped up her plaid dress with a tight belt and an awesome beret.

7. You can wear a crown, even if you're not royalty. Hepburn knew that every woman should be treated like a princess.

8. Don't be afraid to rock a bow tie and a suit. Hepburn wore menswear to a T. Her heavy eyeliner and lipstick kept things sexy. 

9. Collared shirts never go out of style. Furthermore, collared shirts and striped capris make for a great daytime look.

10. Your bangs don't always have to be worn straight across your forehead. Hepburn played around with her's for an edgy, asymmetrical, cut-up look.

11. You can never go wrong with a bold red lip. Hepburn knew this essential trick of the trade.

12. Simple color blocking creates a classic look. Just add some fun, chunky sandals and eye-catching earrings, like Hepburn did. 

13. Take off your heels to play sports. But you can keep on that practical yet adorable summer dress...

14. Fun, bold prints are always a go. Hepburn's feminine makeup and wide-brimmed hat helped to balance out a strong pattern on a dress.

15. Women can wear loafers just as well as men. Hepburn's penny loafers looked adorable paired with her anorak and head scarf.

16. Sunglasses work with literally any outfit -- even formal ones. Hepburn exuded "cool" by pairing Wayfarer-style shades with her jeweled-out LBD.  

17. Take a fashion risk, and wear that unique item. If Hepburn was anything, she was definitely an individual.

18. Find a classic and practical bag. Hepburn's simple tweed purse can be worn everyday with a wide variety of outfits.

19. In order to really stand out, opt for a different take on your wedding dress. Hepburn chose to wear a short white dress and her signature head scarf at her wedding to Andrew Dotti. Opting out of the traditional gown reflected her unique style.

20. Skip the bikini, and wear a bright one-piece bathing suit. You'll turn more heads in this often over-looked bathing suit choice.
