Still at the Movies

After yesterday's post, I can't stop thinking of movies with great travel costumes.  How about this classic safari look from Out of Africa?  The casual elegance of rumpled linen suits, a fabulous wide-brimmed hat to keep the sun off... though I think I'd pass on the tie and the cartridges!  


Now this is a great suit!  Not exactly a travel outfit (I believe it was for a costume party) but its so becoming on Audrey Tautou in Coco Avant Chanel...  


...as are the classic Breton stripes.   Did I mention I'm obsessed with sailor stripes?  


Here's a closeup of the suit.   You rarely see three-piece suits these days, and its much rarer to see them on a woman.  The most modern example I can think of would be a la Annie Hall.

More artfully disheveled than elegant, but classic all the same!
