Show Your Bold Side with Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s Confident Style

Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy

Your wardrobe needs a change, something that stands out and makes a statement. This isn’t about small adjustments; it’s about embracing a bold style that reflects who you are. At Widely Worn, we are inspired by the unique style of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, who continues to influence fashion in 2025. Her minimalist yet striking look is back in the spotlight, thanks to Sarah Pidgeon’s role in Ryan Murphy’s American Love Story. We want to explore how her daring style encourages you to impress and express yourself. Fashion should be something you own and showcase. Let’s make a statement together.

Imagine you’re walking confidently down the street, feeling excited in an outfit that empowers you. That’s the impact of bold style—it’s more than just clothing; it’s a thrill, a challenge, a message to the world. Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy showcased this in the ‘90s, grabbing attention in a crisp white shirt, Levi’s 517 bootcut jeans, and a confidence that commanded respect. As Sunita Kumar Nair explained to Vogue, “Her style wasn’t flashy, but it was elegant… perfectly dressed in a masculine style, yet still feminine.” Simple and strong—just pure attitude. Carolyn didn’t follow trends; she created them. Her sleek slip dresses, tailored coats, and well-fitted jeans weren’t loud, but they were striking, worn with a New Yorker’s pride that said, “I’m here, notice me.” That’s the energy we embrace at Widely Worn—style that’s bold yet charming, strong yet inviting. It’s about choosing pieces that make you feel alive, like a bright red blazer that fits just right or a soft skirt that moves with you. In 2025, with American Love Story gaining popularity, social media buzzes about her bootcut jeans, a comeback seen on Bella Hadid and Kendrick Lamar during the Super Bowl. This shows that bold style isn’t just about fashion—it’s a movement.

Let’s be honest: many of us feel stuck in a style rut, thinking that bold outfits are for “other people.” The old-fashioned rules—stick to neutrals, play it safe, and avoid standing out—have held us back. We often think being daring in our style is too risky. But Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy ignored those rules. As a Calvin Klein publicist, she made a T-shirt and jeans look like high fashion, not because they were fancy, but because she wore them with confidence. Her style mixed masculine cuts with feminine comfort, showing that you can be bold and cute at the same time. That’s the idea we want to share. Ignore anyone who says bright colors or unusual shapes aren’t "flattering." Those rules are outdated, and they have stopped many of us from expressing ourselves. Bold style isn’t about fitting in; it’s about standing out in a way that feels right to you. Try a vibrant emerald coat that makes you feel powerful. Wear bootcut jeans like Carolyn, teamed with a silky top that is both stylish and fun. Or choose a textured jacket—like velvet or faux fur—that feels good and gets attention. These choices aren't just cute; they're a way to show that you embrace being different. At Widely Worn, we believe in breaking the mold with designs that mix boldness and cuteness. Our pieces are made to help you feel like a star, whether you wear a structured blazer or a flowy dress with a twist.

Your Dazzling Moment: Kilts Are Coming

Bold style makes a statement, and we’re excited to introduce Widely Worn’s kilt collection, coming soon. These kilts celebrate Irish heritage with a focus on rebellion and charm. We’ve designed rich tartans in deep greens, fiery reds, and bold blues, with pleats that flow and cuts that feel both fresh and timeless. They honor tradition while adding a modern twist—a mix of Carolyn’s effortless style and Widely Worn’s bold spirit. These kilts are more than just clothing; they create a vibe. You can wear them with a leather jacket for a punk-rock look, a cozy sweater for comfort, or a sleek blouse for a high-fashion touch. They’re meant for rebels and romantics who want to stand out effortlessly. American Love Story brings Carolyn’s legacy to life, with fans loving the recreated Prada boots and her iconic Narciso Rodriguez wedding dress. Our kilts have that same spirit—bold, unforgettable, and ready to make you shine. Sign up for our newsletter to get the launch date and exclusive styling tips to wear this collection like a star.
