Five timeless Carolina Herrera looks that we can copy at 50 (and 60) to dress elegantly every day

Carolina Herrera is an undisputed style icon, no matter how many years go by, the Venezuelan goes above and beyond trends and leaves us with timeless looks that we can easily ''copy'' season after season. To prove it, we have delved into an archive of images of the designer over the years and we have a small selection of five very inspiring looks for today (and always).

Five timeless looks from Carolina Herrera

The black and white binomial

If the designer masters something, it is the black and white color combo. The white shirt is one of his most common items of clothing and the one he recommends whenever he has the opportunity. Clearly it works, whether with pants like this time or with a skirt (that's why he even includes it in his collections).

The touch of sophisticated fantasy

Another ideal way to give the basic black and white look a twist is to opt for a different top, with a different detail such as feathers or sequins. This gives a happy and festive touch to what is a priori a classic style, so that it is neither boring nor bland.

The sensible high heel shoe

The designer dares to wear the heel on practically any occasion, although she regulates the height depending on the situation. In festive looks, she opts for a thin heel with more than five centimeters. On a daily basis, however, ballet flats with a sensible block heel are her favorites, for walking comfortably.

The total minimalist look

Zara did not invent the total lookalthough he knows how to give it the importance it deserves. The proof of how elegant it is is that Carolina Herrera herself uses it whenever she has the opportunity. This gray set has a light and comfortable fabric, which contrasts with the elegance of the gold buttons and high-heeled slingbacks. The perfect balance.

The red coat

Although black and white prints are her favorites, there is a color that is part of her brand's DNA and also her own style: red. Sometimes he includes it in subtle touches, other times he gives it all the prominence with garments like this red coat. In any case, it is always elegant and this season it is a full trend.

Five capsule wardrobe purchases that Carolina Herrera would approve of

If we have learned anything from Carolina Herrera, it is that a basic does not have to be boring. For example, this white shirt is still just as versatile but that original arrangement of the buttons gives it an architectural touch that seems luxurious, for 69.95 euros.

The most sophisticated festive top is from Sfera. An asymmetrical length design full of white, black and gray sequins that goes great with a black suit or with simple jeans and high-heeled sandals. You will find it in El Corte Inglés for 45.99 euros.

To wear heels every day we have to go for quality if we don't want our feet to suffer, something like these black leather ballet flats with a sensible heel that we found in Ulanka for 69.95 euros. A design easy to combine with any garment whose glove-effect finish adapts to the foot perfectly.

This total look from Zara perfectly represents Carolina Herrera's style in 2026: the pants barrel loose and the top with a peplum armhole so it can be worn with or without a white shirt underneath. A success for an elegant office look. In addition, it accepts both high heels and elegant flat leather loafers.

Finally, the star piece that adds color to our Carolina Herrera-inspired looks: the red coat. This one, with straight lines and an elegant cut, is so versatile that we can wear it in our most elaborate Christmas looks, but it also fits with jeans and sneakers. We found it in Zara at a quite reasonable price, for 39.95 euros.
