Primped and Polished: Lori Loughlin's Plaid Blazer and Riding Boot Look for Less

Lori Loughlin Look for Less
This year we saw a re-imagining of schoolgirl style, simple silhouettes and plaid prints that are a major step up from the uniforms I was envious of as a child. Chloe Sevigny wore the trend with a layered turtleneck and dress ensemble and here, Lori Loughlin puts her spin on the style with a fitted jacket and muted neutrals.

Lori stepped out in her Smythe Peak-Lapel Plaid Blazer ($695) paired with a white tee, skinny black jeans, dark brown suede boots and a coordinating satchel. She kept it simple with accessories, wearing a gray scarf, gold trimmed aviator sunglasses and a black leather belt.

This look is so clean and put together, plus it totally brings images of boarding school girls to mind with major equestrian vibes. Perfect for a day out on the town running errands or grabbing lunch with a group of friends. Shop my picks below to steal her style and get the entire look for less than half the cost of her jacket!

Schoolgirl Style: Chloe Sevigny's Plaid Dress and Knee-High Sock Look for Less

Chloe Sevigny Look for Less
Channel your inner prep school girl with this look from Chloe Sevigny, who paired a cozy ribbed turtleneck with a plaid shift dress, knee-high socks, lace-up block heels and retro cat eye sunglasses.

To amp up her academic aesthetic, I've added a structured leather crossbody.

This look is so chic and put together. I'm obsessed with the contrast in colors and all of the attention on the plaid print. Plus, the knee-high socks and sweater are as fabulous as they are functional — especially during the chillier seasons.

With holiday sales and these already affordable picks, Chloe's look is just a few clicks away!

Victoria Beckham cut a stylish figure in check pants and a warm turtleneck sweater as she headed out in chilly Manhattan.

She's ticking off all the trend boxes with her turtleneck top that also boasts dramatic bell sleeves, plus wide-leg crop pants and split-front stiletto booties that help elongate her silhouette.

I love the classic simplicity of this look that still manages to pack a high-fashion punch. This is what I'd aspire to wear for winter if I were working in an office! Even if your look is more casual you could take inspiration from this ensemble and pair a turtleneck with plaid pants and loafer flats.

If you're getting warm and fuzzy fashion feelings from this look, too, read on for my look for less finds...
