The 6 Pieces You Need to Get Jane Birkin's Iconic Style

We'd be hard-pressed to find a style icon whose influence has made quite as long-lasting an impact on us as Jane Birkin's. There's no denying that the fashion world was pulling major inspiration from the English-French actress's plethora of perfectly retro 1970s looks. The singer and model, whose effortless waves and fringey bangs are as classic as the outfits she wore, continues to provide the ultimate easygoing yet sultry style. Whether she was wearing jeans and a T-shirt or a satiny number, Birkin always had a certain effortless vibe about her. So much so that there are a number of clothing items that have become synonymous with her. Birkin-inspired pieces like breezy off-the-shoulder tops, classic-cut jeans that will never go out of style, and, of course, the omnipresent basket bag that still remains so relevant. Although the je ne sais quoi of French-girl fashion often eludes us, today we're making it easier than ever to emulate the style of one of France's most well-known style stars.

Is anything more fitting to her iconic style than a woven bag? Though Jane wore one years ago, the actress undoubtedly inspired the basket tote's revival as of late.
