Elegant style icon wardrobe essentials: Jane Birkin in jeans

Jane Birkin knew how to wear a pair of jeans. Tattered and patched, wide-legged and straight-legged, belted and un-belted, she had worn them all. And she loved her jeans long, and super long, and longer, to accentuate her already long legs. She pairs her jeans with simple cotton t-shirts, mostly short-sleeved, but also with blouses, knit and crochet tops, tucked in, cropped or knotted, or with a handsome jacket thrown on, cropped or not; and under her often over long jeans, she wore anything from ballet flats, high heels to boots, and then she carried her bucket basket to complete her outfit.

Although the 1970s, Jane Birkin had decorated and swept the Paris Street with her jeans, in all styles, worn in all manners, her young and long hair up or down.
