Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Kennedy will never not be iconic fashionistas, but that doesn’t mean you can’t put a modern spin on their signature styles. This season, vintage prints and cuts are making a comeback: Prada featured retro hats and Sixties-inspired prints, babydoll dresses were seen on the Celine catwalk, and other labels showcased A-line skirts, tailored trousers and chic shift dresses enhanced by contemporary accessories for a fresh take on timeless elegance.

In a region where sunshine and high humidity most often call for open-toed shoes, the opportunity to wear boots—high or low—is a fleeting luxury. And even if it’s not strictly Sweater Weather, we’re willing to put up with warm feet when an over-the-knee style, as seen at Fendi or Balmain, is this chic.
