Shop Gigi Hadid's bomber jacket style for less.
If you're just getting into the bomber jacket trend for fall 2016, you'll need to look back to last February when It Girl Gigi Hadid was already rocking this outerwear look. She paired a colorblock bomber jacket with all-black everything...fitted top, skinny pants, and YSL bag. Her super affordable and always classic Converse sneaks in white gave the look an athleisure vibe and played off the colorblocking on her jacket.

Sienna Miller wears a beige peacoat, gray jeans and buckle ankle boots while walking her dog.
Today we're going back in time to 2009 when Sienna Miller was a streetstyle star and layered monochrome looks ruled for fall. It seems like everything and nothing has changed in these past seven years! Her cozy casual look is just as chic today, which is why we've recreated it with a tan peacoat, gray jeans and buckle detail ankle boots. You can even mimic her layered pullover look with a lace-hem top from Chicwish, the perfect feminine foil to the militaristic jacket. Finish the look with a gorgeous burgundy bag - a splurge item you can save big on during the Shopbop Event of the Season Sale...you'll carry it for seasons to come.

Feminine tops are having a big moment right now, and Lucy Hale nails the trend in her floral v-neck blouse paired with skinny jeans and light tan ankle boots. It's a girly, boho look that's perfect for a coffee run, as the Pretty Little Liars star demonstrates.

Vest Dressed: Kristin Chenoweth's Quilted Vest, Green Blouse and Ankle Boots Look for Less

Kristin Chenoweth looks comfy and cozy in a puffer vest, emerald green blouse, skinny jeans and ankle boots.
Just in time for those fall trips to the apple orchard and the pumpkin patch, Kristin Chenoweth models a quintessentially cute and cozy autumnal outfit featuring the must-have quilted vest. She layered hers over an emerald green blouse and skinny jeans, then accessorized with a Louis Vuitton crossbody bag, Western-inspired ankle boots and rainbow aviator sunglasses. I found the perfect vest to recreate her look for just $44 at Francesca's. You could swap the green blouse for any color you love, from a rich burgundy to an earthy olive (I own and love this one by Lush). With all the money you save on the clothes, splurge on the Michael Kors bag, which costs hundreds less than the LV, and will give your whole look a polished edge.

Fall Florals: Jessica Simpson's Open Shoulder Top and Black Flare Look for Less

Jessica Simpson Look for Less
Just because the leaves are falling, doesn't mean that florals aren't an option for autumn. Jessica Simpson showed her love for the print with this botanical blazoned cold shoulder top, black flare jeans, suede platform heels and a leather tote. She accessorized with bohemian chic oval hoop earrings and oversized round sunglasses. I'm loving the overall '70s vibe and her pants are a definite closet staple for the season. Her original top is by Preen by Thornton Bregazzi ($805) but in this recreation I've found a look-a-like top for just $19.90 from Forever 21! Read on to grab this top and shop my finds to get Jessica's look for less.
