There are people who effortlessly radiate ‘cool’. An innate sense of style, combined with a refusal to buy into any trend hype, creates an air of confidence that automatically makes the rest of us start taking mental notes. Think of Jane Birkin, with her wicker bags, prairie blouses and bootcut jeans. Patti Smith, whose simple uniform of shirt and trousers – which she still wears – remains a masterclass in minimalism.
Or Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, whose minimalist Calvin Klein aesthetic continues to inspire modern wardrobes decades later. And Princess Diana? Its authentic off duty style is still referenced endlessly.
