What do Audrey Hepburn, Jean Seberg and Brigitte Bardot all have in common? They’re actresses all, yes, but the trio also epitomize the best of Sixties style — and are oft-quoted inspirations for the enduring chic of the classic ballet flat, like Tory’s Chelsea. The key to pulling off the look like these style icons? Bare ankles — so pair the flats with cropped pants or jeans with a rolled cuff. Bonus tip: Opt for a nude or blush color to elongate the legs.
