Throwback Thursday: Sienna Miller's Military Jacket Look for Less + Shopbop Event of the Season Sale

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.

Fall in Line: Gigi Hadid's Striped Trouser and Leather Loafer Look for Less

Gigi Hadid Look for Less
Ensuring she would stand out, Gigi Hadid displayed bold styling choices both on and off the runways during Paris Fashion Week. In this look the model paired a casual black muscle tank with striped cropped pants, patent leather loafers, round metal-framed sunglasses and a cord lariat necklace. Gigi topped off the look with an off the shoulder, oversized leather jacket with white embroidery. This outfit may be a casual approach to street style, but there is nothing basic about it. I love the edginess of the monochromatic look, androgyny of the loafers and grunge-inspired 90s style through the use of the lariat choker. In this recreation, I've kept all of the attitude and paired the ensemble with a similar piece of outerwear that's extremely affordable and on-trend for the season: a faux-leather bomber jacket. Read on to score this piece available from Mango and a few other must-haves for the season, with each item priced below $67...

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.
