There are a handful of leading ladies whose style has stood the test of time, chief among them the late Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy<\/a>. In the \u201890s, the former Calvin Klein publicist became the poster girl for minimalism, with a wardrobe chock-full of timeless essentials. Think of it this way: Bessette-Kennedy walked so this generation of understated fashion girls \u2014 Kendall Jenner, Laura Harrier, Sofia Richie, etc. \u2014 could run. And with Love Story<\/a><\/em>, the forthcoming FX series chronicling her relationship with husband John F. Kennedy Jr., set to debut this month, Bessette-Kennedy\u2019s enduring style is a major part of the fashion discourse right now. <\/p>\n

Rooted in no-fuss, sleek staples, Bessette-Kennedy\u2019s closet featured luxury designers like Prada, Miu Miu, Ann Demeulemeester, and, of course, Calvin Klein. With a high-profile husband and a respected career of her own, the Connecticut native was a paparazzi magnet, always snapped at black-tie galas, fashion parties, political gatherings, and out and about walking their Canaan dog, Friday, in TriBeCa, where the couple resided until they tragically died in 1999 in a plane crash. At said events, Bessette-Kennedy favored streamlined looks, such as tailored outerwear and form-fitting bottoms. <\/p>\n

Scroll onward for a rundown of Bessette-Kennedy\u2019s wardrobe essentials. She was truly the blueprint for quiet luxury. <\/p>\n

As a New York City resident, Bessette-Kennedy, had a well-rounded collection of tailored outerwear. The majority of her coats were rendered in neutral shades (she was the queen of minimalism, after all), like black and cream, save for this checkered red design she wore during a casual city outing. Bessette-Kennedy was also partial to jackets in timeless patterns, such as her beloved leopard print coat<\/a>.<\/p>\n
