In my book Anne Bancroft as the iconic Mrs. Robinson is more than the ultimate cougar-- she does disinterested sexy far better than the women who frequent Abe & Louie's on a Friday night. Patricia Zipprodt, costume designer for The Graduate, dressed Anne Bancroft in stunning lingerie, monochromatic shifts, fur and some fierce animal prints-- all trends I am loving for spring. The cropped pants, blazers and belted trench coats worn by the beautiful Katharine Rose/Elaine are spring essentials-- very APC/Band of Outsider and jcrew spring styling. And to me Dustin Hoffman is the king of California prep. Check out the Mrs. Robinson inspired spring lookbook from Band of Outsiders here.

Few lines to check out if you want to rock graduate style for spring:
