When it comes to fashion icons for women, Audrey Hepburn is the penultimate clean, classic style inspiration–and we’ll still look to her for notes on how to pick our denim. We can totally imagine her wearing this collection of slim black pants, graphic printed jean trousers, high-waist shorts, and classic blue jeans. Add a preppy collared shirt, flats, a perfectly arched eyebrow, and you’ll get this look down pat.

One of the most enduring figures in style remain Audrey Hepburn, a legendary film actress and style icon. Today, Denim Therapy celebrates her birthday (she would have been 82 today) and recognizes her contributions in fashion which span beyond the original little black dress. Perhaps the memory of her in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” is forever burned in our minds, but her long film career also brought denim style inspirations from films like “Sabrina” and the lesser-known “Two for the Road.” Happy birthday Audrey!
