Inspired by Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s iconic wardrobe, Marks & Spencer has dropped the ultimate 90s edit featuring chic basics from £10
Pieces inspired by Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy are massively trending right now, and Marks & Spencer has just dropped the ultimate 90s basics edit with stylish buys starting from as little as £10.
Featuring kick flare jeans, simple tank tops and slouchy tailored shirts, the edit has everything you need to curate the ultimate cool-girl capsule wardrobe.
Interest in Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s style has surged recently thanks to Ryan Murphy’s new series Love Story, which focuses on the romance between Carolyn and John F. Kennedy Jr. As the show revisits their relationship and the era-defining fashion moments that came with it, Carolyn’s sleek 90s wardrobe, built around sharp tailoring, monochrome palettes and quiet luxury, is once again taking over fashion conversations.

Carolyn definitely favoured fitted and cropped styles of denim, and these kickflare jeans look like they’ve come straight out of her wardrobe. They’re available in five different colours, including cream, light blue denim and black.

With the unpredictable weather we experience in the UK, a trusty, stylish, and lightweight jacket is always needed. And this £70 car coat ticks all the right boxes.
After more CBK-inspired pieces? Last month, Cat Deeley recreated her style on This Morning, with Cat’s fitted black blazer from ASOS being the standout piece in our eyes. The exact blazer is the ASOS Double Breasted Shrunken Blazer, priced at £65. The blazer was styled with a pair of kick flare jeans, the exact ones are the Le Flare jeans from Sézane, priced at £110. Although we’ve found a few cheaper alternatives from Mango (£29.99) and Topshop (£48) if you want to recreate Cat’s look for a little less.
