Lee launched a Marilyn Monroe collection on Thursday, created in honor of the late icon's 100th birthday earlier this summer.

The collection is full of classic denim, cozy knits, and sophisticated separates, all inspired by images of Monroe wearing Lee's signature Storm Rider jacket, featuring a contrasting corduroy collar for a timeless style.

For effortless elegance and the ease of denim, check out pieces such as the High Rise Straight Jean, a shape that never goes out of style, or the Boyfriend Shirt that takes the classic white button-down and renders it in relaxed fit, 100% cotton. Pair the two with a loafer or ankle boot, and you have the perfect fall outfit in seconds.

One of the collection's most covetable pieces, in our opinion, is the Coatigan, a lush, ultra-cozy cardigan that doubles as a top layer to fend off the autumn chill. Inspired by one of the sweaters Monroe wore in her final photo shoot, slip into this beauty to feel glamorous while staying warm.

Vivian Rivetti, Lee's vice president of global design, said the goal of the collection "was to capture the essence of Marilyn's aesthetic and the styles she made famous through a modern Lee lens."

"It's a reimagining, not a replication, and it will excite our consumers and her fans around the world," Rivetti added.
