VB is a master at suiting and I, being a novice at wearing power suits, approached the look with a more relaxed spin, swapping a T-shirt and combat boots in place of her button-down and heels. Despite dozens of her strongest tailored ensembles, I stand by this hunter green suit as one of her best because the rich color makes it feel less corporate, as suits tend to, and more fashion-forward. A striking pair of "old Céline" sunglasses certainly doesn't hurt, though.

Tucking a thin sweater or blouse into wide-legged trousers is an iconic Beckham move and a combo she's made her signature. Though I was sure I could re-create the look with just about any version of the two pieces, it's the combination of bold primary colors here that really stands out. I went for a similar pair of red trousers with a thin striped knit top and finished it off with patent ankle boots and a structured handbag just like VB.

Next is an outfit idea Beckham herself was so into she wore it three times in a row. It's a simple enough ensemble, and one that I had all the fixings for right in my own closet, but it oozes sophistication and polish—the hallmarks of VB's style. This look was the most classic of all the outfits I copied from her and had me feeling particularly put-together throughout the day I wore it.

Seeing as I normally wear a white T-shirt to work most days, I jumped at the chance to style the everyday basic in a VB-approved manner. To amp up the style of my tee, I copied her relaxed leather pants and sleek pointed-toe heels. To make it my own, I layered on a few staple jewelry pieces like chunky hoops and a pendant necklace. Of all the Beckham-inspired outfits I tried, this is definitely one I'll be wearing again (and again and again).
