Top 10 Iconic Jane Birkin Looks

“Diva is a female version of a hustler.” is the human embodiment of Jane Birkin before Beyonce could even release it. I mean an actress, a singer and even a designer? The woman basically invented cool without even trying. Messy bangs? Check. Mini dresses? Check. Basket bags? Hello?? The entire fashion industry owes her. So, let’s talk about her most iconic looks because, let’s be honest, we all want to copy them but make them 2025.

1. The White Tee & Denim Combo

   Before Pinterest girlies made "jeans and a white tee" a personality trait, Jane was already rocking it. Straight-leg denim, a slightly oversized tee, and an attitude that says, "I woke up like this" and actually did. Respect.

2.  The Sheer Dress Moment

When Jane wore that sheer dress in the '70s, the world collectively gasped. It was elegant, daring, and basically started the whole "free the nipple" movement before Instagram even existed. We love a trendsetter.

3. Basket Bag Mania

At this point, her little wicker basket deserves its own museum exhibit. She carried it everywhere, to the airport, to fancy dinners, probably even to the bathroom. If Jane could carry a picnic basket like a Chanel bag, why are we out here stressing about which tote matches our outfit?

4. Oversized Blazers & Tiny Shorts

   Jane was basically doing the whole "borrowed from the boys" thing before we even gave it a name. An oversized blazer over micro shorts? It's giving the French off-duty model energy.

5. The Chic Little Black Dress

   Forget the slip dress, Jane’s real power move was the little black dress. Sometimes sleek, sometimes flirty, always iconic. Pair it with her signature bangs and a devil-may-care attitude, and suddenly, you’re the main character.

   
   
   

   
   
   

6.  Nautical Stripes but Make It French

   Striped shirts and Jane Birkin go together like coffee and existential dread. Always simple, always effective. Paired with denim or high-waisted shorts, this look still works in 2025. Timeless queen.

   
   

   

   
   

7.  Maxi Dresses with Major Boho Vibes

   Before Coachella made boho cringe, Jane wore flowy, romantic maxi dresses that made her look like a literal fairy. If I wore this, I'd look like I was running away from my responsibilities, but she made it fashion.

   
   
   

   
   
   

8. Cardigans as Tops

Somewhere in the '70s, Jane decided that a cardigan could absolutely be a top, and we’ve been playing catch-up ever since. It’s cozy, it’s chic, and it saves you from deciding on a real top. Genius.

9. All-Black Everything, But Make It Relaxed

Jane could make an all-black outfit look casual, something that most of us struggle with. It wasn’t gothic or try-hard, it was just cool. Like, "I just threw this on and now I’m off to casually date a rockstar."

10. The Cropped Sweater & High-Waist Jeans Combo

This look = the ultimate "cool girl running errands in Paris" aesthetic. Slightly cropped, slightly messy, slightly perfect. BRB, need to thrift the perfect sweater immediately.

And there you have it, 10 of Jane Birkin’s most iconic looks that still influence fashion today. Honestly, the real secret to her style was confidence. She wore what she loved and didn’t try too hard. And maybe that’s the energy we all need to channel!
