Her "daily uniform" consisted of slack trousers or skirts paired with a blouse. She frequently wore patterns of stripes and gingham.
She "compensated" for her height by wearing ballet slippers and flat shoes. Hepburn typically chose a muted palette of black, white, beige, and pink, which emphasized the darker undertones of her eyes and hair. Her fashion has been referred to as sophisticated, minimalist, elegant, polished, and mod. She occasionally wore suits and trousers, but often accentuated the look with accessories to preserve a feminine touch. She also frequently wore sheath dresses, bateau necklines, cropped pants, emphasized waistlines, and button-downs. Pieces associated with her brand of fashion included cigarette pants, black polo necks, trench coats, marinières, headbands, waist belts, ballet flats, oversized white shirt, the indigo jean, the gingham trouser and head scarves.
Hepburn veered toward underdressing, rather than overdressing, saying that "it is better to be the only one in a blazer at a black-tie event then be the only one in black tie at a blazer event". She admired simple lines and elegant looks, designed to complement her, rather than stand out. Hepburn invested in quality pieces, and put intentional thought into her ensembles by occasion. She believed that women should find their own complementary "look", rather than rely on trends, and accessorize it seasonally. Hepburn had a confident sense in her own manner of dressing, and sought simple, refined pieces to emphasize her silhouette and profile. Hepburn's style, subject to prominence after her rise to fame in the 1950s, was associated with timelessness and tailoring. Sean Hepburn Ferrer, Audrey Hepburn: An Elegant Spirit
