Kaia Gerber's Pinstripe Blazer and Leather Leggings Look for Less

Kaia Gerber Pinstripe Blazer Look for Less
Model Kaia Gerber's off-duty runway look is one we can all pull-off (unlike a lot of what we see on the actual runway!) Her oversized pinstripe blazer and leather leggings give a touch of spiffiness to a casual outfit, paired with black high-top sneakers and a basic black tee. Personally, we think faux leather leggings should become a forever staple in your closet, because A. Comfort, and B. Fun yet still classy if styled correctly! And $10 for a trendy bucket bag hat is no skin off your nose if it's "out" by next summer! Fun fact: The chain strap crossbody we found is ironically named the "Kaia" bag by Steve Madden #meanttobe



Emma Roberts' Kimono and Crop Jeans Look for Less

Emma Roberts' kimono and crop jeans look for less
Emma Roberts breaks the rules with this ensemble! Instead of pairing her voluminous kimono with cropped shorts or slim skinnies, she goes for trendy crop leg flares! On top, she keeps things simple with a white tee. And it's a good thing, because her colorful topper mixes prints for her with bold floral blooms and a touch of animal print, too. I might have skipped the braids and cateye sunglasses with this look but she's having fun with fashion - and we're feeling inspired to do the same!



Selena Gomez's Floral Denim Jacket, Leggings, and Sneakers Look for Less

Selena Gomez Floral Denim Jacket Look for Less
We all want to know: how can I wear leggings and still look put together? Selena Gomez provides us with a solution, and we're raving over it. Her adorable Ditsy Denim Quilted Jacket from Free People is, no surprise, completely sold out everywhere. Thankfully, the floral patterned/embroidered denim is a trend not lost on other brands! Toss one on over your favorite black leggings (these Old Navy ones have great reviews and are only $20!), a fresh pair of white sneakers, and wide silver hoop earrings. The final touch is a logo print crossbody in a cognac color - classic and versatile with different looks.



Look for Less: Monet Mazur in the Madewell x Mickey Mouse California Tee and Cropped Flare Jeans

Money Mazur Madewell Mickey Mouse Tee Look for Less
Who doesn't love a mom who embraces her inner-child with her kids? Graphic tees styled well give off the effortless cool girl look that works on anyone, regardless of season or age! Actress Monet Mazur sports this Madewell Mickey Mouse tee with cute cropped flare jeans and simple sandals. If $45 for a basic graphic tee is a little steep, JCPenney has a Mickey tee for $12 and also comes in plus size! And if you're going to go with a fun tee, might as well go all-in on playful accessories with bright red sunnies and a straw tote!



Steal Her Style: Shanina Shaik's Satin Blouse and Dear Frances Boots

Shanina Shaik's satin blouse and ankle boots look for less
Shanina Shaik shows off her features in a silky low-cut blouse and denim cut-offs! Her model-off-duty look might not be easy for everyone to pull off, but we can take some style notes for fall nonetheless! For starters, her black 'Spirit' ankle booties by Dear Frances ($550) are in every It-girl's closet (think Kendall and Bella), but we'd gladly rock this similar pair under $35 instead! The block heel makes these comfortable for everyday while still looking tres chic. And if you want to update your average office button-down, consider an oversized satin blouse instead - buttoned up, of course!
