Singer, songwriter, icon, Gold Dust Woman, Stevie Nicks goes by many names, but her signature style remains singular. A Stevie Nicks outfit will immediately call to mind images of the free-spirited romance that we often associate with her chart-topping music.
Each piece of clothing is carefully chosen to harmonize with her style, and nary is there a look that seems out of tune. She has been able to cement her style icon status by crafting a carefully curated look that combines her fashion and songwriting so effortlessly that you realize that she is indeed the living embodiment of the free-spirited nature she so often sings about.
Nicks once said, "There's a certain kind of freedom that comes from being unapologetically yourself." By adopting an unwavering dedication to living and dressing as authentically as possible, Nicks has not only inspired countless fans with her sartorial sensibility but has also managed to dodge the ever-precarious pitfalls of trying to keep up with the times.
From flowy chiffon frocks to 70s high-waisted jeans and, of course, her go-to accessory: silky shawls, we take a look back at seven pieces that define Stevie Nicks’s iconic style.
Fringed Shawls
“If I ever write my life story, maybe that should be the name of my book: There’s Enough Shawls to Go Around,” once said of her undying love for shawls. Often seen swirling on stage with the silken, fringed variety, Nicks would use these to add a dramatic flare to her showmanship.
High-Waisted Jeans
Early in her career, Nicks lived in high-waisted, bell-bottom jeans, which were all the rave in the 70s. To fully evoke the bohemian aesthetic of the time, she wore her denim with pieces of silk tops and wooden platform heels.
Top Hats
Nicks would conjure up a bit of magic with her style by topping off her looks with a top hat. This unexpected headwear gave the frilly looks she wore a masculine charm and harkened back to the nostalgia of a bygone era.
Layered Necklaces
Nicks did not wear jewelry solely for adornment but rather as amulets to protect her against evil, danger, and overall bad vibes. Her penchant for celestial pendants and charms was displayed proudly on the many dainty gold necklaces she would layer upon each other.
