Get Carolina Herrera Style

Its her trademark, no? Carolina is rarely seen not donning a crisp white button-down shirtof course, tucked in and with the collar up.

Weve extolled the classic white shirt many times here on ThirdAge, but really, theres just nothing more timelessor easy!

Were fans of the shirts at Gap and Banana Republic. (You could probably even find a good one at Target!)

Pair with trousers or a fitted skirt and youre good to go.

Heres the thing about Carolinathere never seems to be a hair out of place on the woman. Partly because its true (she does have perfectly-coiffed hair), and partly because her clothes always fit her like a glove.

And thats not just a fluke. She tailors.

Get that jacket thats a little too big taken in, and those pants that are a little too long hemmed. Its a small change, but it makes a huge difference.

And with her classic white shirts often come a fabulous necklace underneath (or a bracelet, or earrings)

Carolina may be minimalist in her clothing choices, but not in her bold look-at-me jewelry. She always has on at least one big and chunky piece. Its the perfect juxtaposition to her tailored, simple clothes.

We love this mini pearl supernova bracelet from J.Crew.

Another article of clothing Carolina can wear like no one else is a fitted blazer. In fact, often youll find one over her white shirts and chunky jewelry.

Find a great blazerand youre pretty much set for life.

Places like Ann Taylor, J.Crew and The Limited carry a variety of styles and sizes to suit your needsincluding Petite, which isnt always easy to find.

But not too bright.

Carolina doesnt do dewy or glossy or pink or coral. She wears a muted red with almost a brown tintand she sticks with it.

If thats not the right shade for youas its surely not going to be for everyonefind what looks goes best with your complexion and stick with it! Who cares what the latest it color is. If you look, youre always going to be in style.
