Get the Look: Bogart and Bacall

He was 45, and she was 20 when Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall married in 1945. Brought together as actors, they became one of Hollywood’s most iconic and enduring couples. Their outspoken and strong characters tied them together. She had the maturity and poise to be his partner, and he had the stature and tenderness to be hers.

The style of the couple (together from their marriage until his death in 1957) might best be described as California classic. In their movies, he wore a trench coat and fedora, she wore evening gowns and suits. These costumes were true to their private lives too, but there they favored more relaxed looks, with open collars, khaki pants and wool or rayon shirts on him; separates, full and pencil skirts on her, and suits and button-down shirts on them both.

Looking for Bogie and Bacall styles for Valentine’s Day? Just whistle. You know how to whistle don’t you? You just put your lips together and blow.
