Remember our dear fashion friend from the Fall 2007 runways, the Balenciaga piped blazer? Of course you do - we've all loved it since day one - and now Forever 21 has a similar looking blazer that will help you achieve that nouveau preppy look on a dime.

Styling Tips: Order a size up so you can comfortably layer this blazer, adding texture and warmth (Note the red turtleneck with a button-down collared shirt in the pic above). Make the look your own with a vintage scarf, brooch and colorful belt.

Forever 21 Velvet Blazer, $32.80

Streetwear gets a preppy twist on this cropped hoodie with all-over anchor print by Primp (left). For more coverage (and less cash) cast your net for the cute basic hoodie on the right.


Luxe: Primp anchor hoodie, $143 $100.10
Less: Forever 21 Anchor Hoodie, $17.80

No ugly ducklings here, just a sea of pretty little swans on a comfy long-sleeve henley. Perfect for layering on chilly winter days.


Luxe: Primp Swan Henley, $88 $61.60
