About this list:

Amelia Earhart, best known as the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, was also a fashion pioneer. Her embrace of menswear paved the way for women who favor pants, clean lines, and hardworking wardrobe staples. And in a season in which pants, leather and the Jazz Age has infiltrated the runways, she has never been more au courant. I now reconsider her as if The Gap had been around in her time; I think it would have been her go-to store.

A lifelong student of style and grace

Piperlime: Women's Swansea Hooded Vest by EMU Australia

First to recommend

Description

It is hard to imagine Amelia without her signature bomber, but I think she would have eagerly embraced the freedom of movement that this leather vest provides, along with its longer length, detachable hood and fabulous faux fur trim.

I have an indelible image of an aviatrix flying full throttle with her scarf trailing behind her . . . this orange beauty fits that image with a burst of twenty-first century color bravado.

Barnes and Noble: Read My Pins by Madeleine Albright

First to recommend

Description

Style matters. And accessories speak, crossing boundaries that sometimes the most well-conceived speeches fail to reach. No one understands this better than Madeleine Albright, scholar, diplomat and author of "Read My Pins."

Gap: Women's low rise seamless girl short

Sexy and sensible - yes, they can coexist. This "girl short" is Exhibit A. And sleek, comfortable underwear will make everything else you wear fit well and look better.

Gap: Women's favorite T-shirt bra

First to recommend

Description

A working bra that confidently, unobtrusively makes the most out of your existing assets. No lace, no itch, no complicated straps, just graceful support . . . and just the beginning of a great outfit.

Gap: Women's dark denim shirt

First to recommend

Description

A denim shirt that takes just a few cues from the men's version, but adds a few feminine finishing touches. And the cuffs are ready for accessorizing with links. I think Amelia would have had one for every day of her busy week.

Gap: Women's tweed trouser pants

First to recommend

Description

This cuffed trouser comes fully equipped with a wide-legged swagger. The tweed pattern is a natty nod to its menswear inspiration.

Gap: Women's ribbed henley T

First to recommend

Description

Layers are stylish, but also practical: to be peeled off as air and temperature vary. And this henley is particularly sharp layered under a denim shirt.
