Look, she may or may not have broken up The Beatles, but one thing is undeniable: Yoko Ono has amazing personal style. When she and John Lennon were together, Yoko’s style killed it. And even now, she doesn’t seem to leave the house without a totally cool hat and jacket combo. But we really covet young Yoko style. Her sunglasses! Her floppy hats! Her all-black (and all-white) ensembles! After the jump, we give you our take on Yoko’s sleek, one-of-a-kind look. Keep reading »
Fedoras have made such a comeback recently that they’re now normal, as opposed to trendy. But few celebrities or style geeks have mastered the swagger of a fedora like Yoko Ono.
