Jackie Kennedy Jack Rogers Sandals

Jackie Kennedy's style may be synonymous with elegant eveningwear and that infamous pink suit, but the former First Lady also had an undeniable knack for vacation attire.

From summers in Hyannis Port to coasting Capri, Jackie had a way of making even the most laidback and effortless of looks glamorous. During one of her trips to Capri, she fell in love with a pair of flat leather sandals that not only became a staple for her vacation style, but also birthed a new brand when she returned to the U.S.: Jack Rogers.

She loved the sandal so much that upon her return to the states, she brought them to a cobbler in Palm Beach, Florida to create additional pairs—and so was the start of the Jack Rogers shoe brand. Fast forward to over 50 years later and the Jackie O-inspired sandals are still the core component of the brand's ethos—and just as timeless as ever.

Now, to commemorate Jackie O's influence, the brand is giving the former First Lady's iconic sandal a colorful revamp with a limited-edition capsule collection. Set to launch on the 15th of every month throughout 2018, the full collection will include 36 different styles, each hand-numbered and produced in limited quantities—making for the perfect collectible for any Jackie O. fan.

“Our Collector’s Edition Jacks capsule is a celebration of the rich history of the brand made famous by Jackie O over 50 years ago. In designing the hand numbered collection, we drew inspiration from vintage Jacks and referenced the archives to curate this truly unique collection," Bridget Bali, Director of Merchandising at Jack Rogers, said.

From vibrant color combinations to metallic hues, the capsule will roll out three new styles each month—all of which will retail for $128. And further proving the timelessness of Jackie Kennedy's style, the leather sandals feel just as stylish now as they did in the 1960s.
