Grace Kelly. Tippi Hedren. Kim Novak. Decades after their time on the silver screen, the Hitchcock heroine still has plenty of fashion tips to lend us. This winter, brave the wind and snow in style with these classic trends. With just a few crucial basics you’re golden!

Menswear and Lipstick

Channel Princess Grace by tucking a loose white blouse into a pair of cigarette pants. Add loafers and a bright lipstick to complete this classic look. If you’re heading out, throw on a pea coat and pop the collar just slightly. Brace yourself for double-takes.

Simply Stunning

North by Northwest’s Eva Marie Saint does away with flair and lets the clothes speak for themselves. A basic black pencil skirt and kitten heels paired with a gorgeous flowing blouse is all she needed. Add a simple pendant and stud earrings to pull everything together.

Tippi at the Office

Rock your last few workdays before break in this outfit. Pair your pencil skirt with a coordinating structured tank and blazer. To add that Tippi Hedren flair, go all out with your accessories. Belt your skirt and tank and toss on a simple gold necklace and stunning stud earrings. Lastly, slip into a pair of classic black kitten heels. Enjoy that confidence.

Holiday Party

This holiday season, turn heads channeling Grace Kelly’s beautiful Rear Window ensemble. Invest in a long, full skirt (both for work and fun). Tuck in a festive velvet shirt, add black pumps and a strand of pearls and you’re ready to be the buzz of the party.

Go Basic with Kim Novak

Kim Novak’s Vertigo character epitomizes classic. To replicate this simple look, grab your favorite LBD and black heels. Stay warm with a long wool coat with a tall collar. Make this classic outfit stand out with thick lashes and a pink blush.
