Pattern Play: Doutzen Kroes' Flannel and Moto Jacket Look for Less

Doutzen Kroes Look for Less
I practically live in cozy flannels in the fall and can't resist styling them up in completely different ways each time. Doutzen Kroes offers a rocker chic take on the trend in this latest look.

Doutzen paired her plaid flannel with fitted black jeans, a black motorcycle jacket, flat lens sunglasses and laced-up combat boots. Throw in another pattern to up the playfulness of the look, focussing on a coordinating color and neutrals, like Doutzen has done with her geometric tote.

Right now is the perfect time to shop since most basic pieces are on-sale for the holidays. Pick up my favorite pieces to recreate Doutzen's look below, featuring items from stores like H&M and Target - both of which have insane daily deals leading up to (and following) Black Friday!

Bodycon Beauty: Kylie Jenner's Suede Jacket and Fitted Midi Dress Look for Less

Kylie Jenner Look for Less
Bodycon styles are nothing new to the Kardashian-Jenner clan, but I can't help loving how Kylie styled her midi dress. Pairing it with a suede motorcycle jacket, white sneakers and reflective aviators she touches on almost every fall fashion trend.

The rich cognac and deep brown hues are gorgeous for fall and look great when paired with gold accents like the frames on Kylie's sunglasses. Plus, this look is so put together but still so laid back - the tennis shoes and cotton dress totally give off major athleisure vibes.

Another thing I'm loving? Kylie's exact pieces are extremely budget friendly! Her exact dress retails for just $40 from Naked Wardrobe and her Puma shoes are on sale for the holidays. Shop my other finds below.

Effortless Edge: Dakota Johnson's Cozy Turtleneck and Cognac Moto Look for Less

Dakota Johnson Look for Less
There's nothing I love more than an updated take on a timeless look. Dakota Johnson added a little edge to a cozy winter classic when she paired a blue turtleneck sweater with black jeans, a leather motorcycle jacket and ankle booties in a rich cognac hue. For accessories she kept it minimal with a leather hobo and '60s-inspired sunglasses. With the chillier weather just starting to settle in, it's the perfect time to pick up some must-have knit pieces and I'm obsessed with this lookalike from 525 America. Read on to shop the rest of my picks and steal Dakota's style...

Hello, Moto: Lucy Hale's Leather Jacket and Mules Look for Less

Lucy Hale wears a leather moto jacket and loafer mule slides.
Lucy Hale went on a coffee run with her boyfriend wearing a rust-colored top and skinny jeans paired with a moto jacket and Oxford mules. In short, the actress wore the coolest fall outfit that's perfect whether you're heading to class or running errands on the weekend. I love how she balanced the proportions of the cropped leather jacket with higher waist jeans, and added major style points with the Western style belt and mules (a shoe I've spotted on many top fashion bloggers this season). Take notes and shop our look for less picks below, which includes an amazing faux leather jacket under $100 - it gets over 200 four-star ratings from shoppers!
