These chic looks are spot on in this Elle France story inspired by Carolyn Bessette’s style. Pieces anchored by the classics are elevated with a modern twist. Preppy, yet fresh and elegant, never looked so good. And, is anyone else obsessed with the Dior loafers??

I love it all! Great colors.

They are classic looks! Just the way I like to dress – classic but not boring! Where would one find those blue jeans with the front pockets? Love them!
I don’t wear loafers but I’m with you on the Gucci ones. They are striking!
cath
Yes! Love the front pocket jeans…source? Thanks so much
Karima
The jeans are by Gerard Darel, but I can’t find them online. Khaite makes a similar pair in black HERE and in blue HERE.
Karima
Aren’t they fantastic? Jeans by Gerard Darel.
Gayle Ward
Hmm — am I the only one having a hard time with
the ‘awkward’ length of the jeans?
Everything else looks great!
Madeleine
I’m on the search for navy turtlenecks that are not totally oversized. Any recommendations? The one in this shoot looks great!
Also, all cashmere these days is of such poor quality. Does anyone know of a cashmere line that doesn’t pill and loose its’ shape after one wearing?

Crimson Cashmere, Paris France, has wonderful made in Scotland cashmeres. They have limited choices online, but if you email them with what you’re looking for, I’m sure they would help you. I’ve bought a few things from Crimson and i will be buying all my cashmeres from now on from them. Linda V Wright is the owner and you can peruse her instagram where she wears a lot of what she sells.
I’ve also bought some cashmere from Soft goat cashmere, which is moderately priced and good quality, but not as good as Crimson’s.
Stateside, the best cashmere I’ve found is from Loto Piana or The Row.

Thanks for sharing those great resources. I’ve heard nothing but praise for Linda Wright’s store and specifically the quality of her cashmere. Crimson Cashmere is at the top of my list next time I visit Paris.

Crimson Cashmere as others have recommended. Perfect and great quality.

She was such a stunning woman and would have become a true style icon. Made me a bit sad, but it is wonderful to remember her through this spread. Thanks K…. XO
Karima
A true beauty. She was one of a kind.

Karima, can you please do a “shop the post”? Everything is incredible. Thanks for your eye on this.
Madeleine, my go to for basic cashmere styles is White and Warren. Good price point and they stay looking nice for a long time. Equipment makes good ones too. I also have a sweater comb from The Laundress that does wonders to remove pills.
Karima
Thanks for sharing those sources. I could use that sweater comb.
Moira
I recently found your site & it is terrific! Who makes that navy coat! Gorgeous. Thank you.
Karima
Thank you! The coat is by dMn Demain.
Elbe
Who makes the second pair of jeans, the ones worn with sneakers? Love the first pair, too.
Kelland
Agree!!! Dying to know who makes the wide leg blue jeans!!!!
KSL
Yes, I feel obsessed about the loafers right now. Are they out yet? Great post!
Michelle
The loafers are absolutely gorgeous (even though I hate the thought of wearing calf). Here they are: DIOR LOAFERS.
Kelland
