Jessica Biel's Cape, Fair Isle Sweater, and Ankle Booties Look for Less

Jessica Biel Cape Look for Less
Trendy pieces can always be hit or miss, and we're thinking this cape on Jessica Biel is one to consider! She wears it over a classic ivory and black fair isle sweater (a sure sign that Christmas is on the way!) and black washed skinny jeans and suede ankle boots. Jessica's sunglasses are from Privé Revaux, a super affordable line of trendy and timeless shades. Unfortunately, we can't say the same about her Jimmy Choo bag, which runs for $1,280. Love it, but we'll leave it and take a reasonable box bag from French Connection (bonus: it's on sale, down from $118). This is the perfect outfit for a gift shopping day with some girlfriends, Thanksgiving dinner at your aunt's house, winter date night...the possibilities are endless and sweater season is just getting started.



Look for Less Holiday Outfit Idea: Minka Kelly's Leather Blazer and Dark Floral Pants

Minka Kelly Floral Pants Leather Blazer Look for Less
Minka Kelly is our new favorite inspiration for upcoming holiday party attire! The actress paired a dark floral trouser with a one shoulder fitted top underneath a stunning leather blazer, which you don't see too often. We're into it for sure! You could even swap the leather blazer with a regular boyfriend blazer, or a moto jacket if you like an edgier vibe or if the dress code is more on the less-formal side. A high pony is an easy way to style your hair while still looking clean and classy, too.



Heidi Klum's Leopard Blouse and Striped Pants Look for Less

Heidi Klum Leopard Look for Less
Mixing prints may never go out of style - at least not as long as Heidi Klum is doing it! With such deep roots in the fashion industry, the gal definitely has the confidence and the means to pull off pretty much anything. Here she sports a pair of striped wide leg pants to starkly contrast against an elegant leopard print top, with platform pumps to match! We love a beautiful white tote for a simple accessory, along with some square gold frame aviators. Paint your nails black like she did for an extra edgy touch! What do you think - would you wear leopard and stripes together?



The Look for Less: Julia Roberts in a Givenchy Graphic Sweatshirt and Coated Skinny Jeans

Julia Roberts Graphic Givenchy Sweatshirt Look for Less
Julia Roberts is one of those actresses that has earned her way as one of our forever favorite actresses (I mean, you can't not love her in Runaway Bride and My Best Friend's Wedding!) She just celebrated her 51st birthday at the end of October, and is clearly still killing the style game. Just goes to show that dressing well isn't just for models and reality TV stars under 30! Her Givenchy sweatshirt is a one-of-a-kind item in high demand that sells crazy fast; probably because it goes well with more than just athleisure. We'd love to copy her look and pair it with tailored pieces like a blazer, coated skinny jeans, and high heel sandals. And that subtle wavy hair! The gal can do no wrong here.



Mila Kunis' Casual Look for Less featuring the One Teaspoon Mohair Jumper

Mila Kunis One Teapsoon Jumper Look for Less
Beloved actress Mila Kunis embraces the sweater season in this beautiful One Teaspoon Midnight Mohair Jumper. We ladies go silly for sweaters this time of year, and obviously the comfort factor is part of that. But Mila wearing hers with baggy boyfriend jeans and combat boots reminds us that dressing them down is totally a do. In fact, it's a MUST to get the most use out of them, right? Some days call for lazy dressing (and two coffees) so a top, bottoms, and shoes are all you need to call it good. Oh, and a bright nail color never hurts!
