Breakfast at Tiffany's Fashion

Thank you to everyone who left such great comments on the Top 10 Movies for Fashion Inspiration! The consensus seems to be that a) you would like to see specific outfits inspired by each movie and b) The Devil Wears Prada should definitely be on the list!

With that in mind, here comes the first post of many on fashion inspired by these great movies. Let’s start with a classic: Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

Audrey Hepburn’s style in Breakfast at Tiffany’s can be summed up in three words: Simple, Classic and Glamorous. Her looks are characterized by simple yet breathtaking pieces combined with glamorous accessories. With that philosophy, I’ve assembled four affordable outfits inspired by Audrey’s look in the movie.

Outfits Inspired by Breakfast at Tiffany’s:

Outfit 1: A day out shopping

Daytime Outfit - Breakfast at Tiffanys

Cropped trench coat: Forever 21, Always skinny black riding jeans: Gap.com, “Lolita” heart shaped sunglasses and hand knotted glass pearls: Girlprops.com, Sandie ballet flat: Delia’s

Outfit 2:Dinner with friends

Outfit 3: Cocktail party

    I was just thinking about Holly Golightly this morning!

    And I like these outfits. They look like something she’d wear, but it’s not too period and costume-y.

    I love houndstooth- I have a swingy retro jacket, which is perfect for this because my mum says I look like Audrey Hepburn in it. I guess with the dark hair and fair skin and classy manner.

    Oh geez, I wish!

    I think you went above and beyond when creating some of these outfits. They are so audrey, but not costumey like I’ve seen others do.
    absolutely incredible!!

    I love those patent peep toe slingbacks!!! I saw them in person at F21 but I wasn’t sure on the quality. Sigh. I’m LOVING bows at the moment!

    Too bad the F21 site doesn’t have them in my size anymore 🙁

    Oh, I love those outfits! I will definitely take mental note of this and plan some of my future wardrobe pieces around it. Breakfast at Tiffany’s is one of my favorite movies. 🙂
