The 1960s among other things, was also a time of great admiration for the first lady, Jackie Kennedy. Her impeccable tastes in fashion were admired by women around the country. Designer Oleg Cassini decided her wardrobe for the 1961 inauguration. Jackie was quoted saying that she wanted to dress as if "Jack were president of France" and the couple lived up to this iconic fashion level. Jackie beamed with elegance, regality, and sophistication, and the American people adored her. She was known for her classic black and white combinations (black on top, white on bottom), very large sunglasses and the famous accidentally dented pill box hat which was inspiration for many designers to create pill box hats with an intentional dent. Her look was classic then and is timeless now. For a guide to What Would Jackie Do? consult the book by Shelly Branch and Sue Callaway!
