Womenswear icon · 1990s

Dress like Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy

From the clothes you already own.

Nineties minimalism at its sharpest: slip skirts, crisp shirts, long coats.

What you might already own

The pieces

Tick what you already own. Nothing is saved.

  • Visible logos

Wear it your way.

Photograph your clothes, pick Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy as a style reference, and ask for a look in their style. Capsule puts it together from what you own, says why it works, and names the one or two kinds of piece that would bring you closer.

Try it with your wardrobe

Capsule has no connection with Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy or their estate. This page describes a well-documented way of dressing.
