Nobody has ever mastered transitional street style quite like Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.


Even at her most casual, she was always impeccably dressed. She focused on timeless, effortless separates that look just as chic today as they did decades ago. As we head into the final weeks of Summer, I find myself looking back at some of the wardrobe staples she turned to time and again over the years. I've put together a selection of some of my favourite modern versions of Mrs. Onassis's most loved pieces. Let me know if anything catches your eye!
