Royal Look for Less: Meghan Markle's Givenchy Boots and Club Monaco Coat & Dress

Meghan Markle Burgundy Coat and Dress Look for Less
Need another holiday outfit idea? Of course the royal gal herself Meghan Markle offers a stunning and simple look fit for anything from dinners out to work parties! Her dress and coat are both from Club Monaco, and no surprise; the dress sold out in an instant after these photos of her appeared online last week. A pair of opaque tights are a good item to always keep on hand, and they can help make a dress more seasonally appropriate and offer a ladylike touch. Her Givenchy boots are to die for, and the price tag might make you die a little inside too...so these Forever21 dupes will definitely do! What will you be wearing this holiday season?

Reese Witherspoon Plaid Shirt and Cognac Ankle Boots Look for Less
The limit does not exist on the number of plaid shirts a gal can own! Reese Witherspoon wears this navy blue one tucked into a pair of clean straight leg jeans with cognac ankle boots - three of our favorite closet staples! And how awesome is her crossbody bag? Say goodbye to fussing with your purse and try a bag with external pockets like this one! A lot of these items are on major markdown, so jump on it while the holiday sales are white hot.



Rosie Huntington-Whitely's Black Crop Top, Skirt, and Fendi Bucket Bag Look for Less

Rosie Huntington-Whitely Crop Top, Skirt, Fendi Bag Look for Less
Though she recently announced that she's hanging up her Victoria's Secret Angel wings, Rosie Huntington-Whitely will forever be one of our favorite model style icons! She is the queen of enviable style that doesn't scream for attention, yet they always grab our eye. This is one such look here with a classic A-line skirt, cropped long sleeve top, and white shoes. It's almost never a bad idea to throw in a fun bag to break up neutrals, and she achieves this with this shearling logo Fendi bucket bag. And in true model form, the dark oversized sunglasses are a must to complete this flirty yet chic outfit.



Ashley Tisdale's Black Single-Breasted Coat, Fuzzy Bag, and Caged Heels Look for Less

Ashley Tisdale Black Coat and Caged Heels Look for Less
The former Disney star is now a streetstyle gal to keep an eye out for! Ashley Tisdale rocks a contrast collar dress underneath a fabulous single-breasted black coat. Maybe it's just the round sunnies, but this is looking a bit retro, don't you think? We found the PERFECT lookalike caged pointed-toe flats for a super reasonable sale price and tons of sizes available. We are convinced that these will be the best go-to holiday party shoes! The fuzzy handbag is an excellent example of a funky but super on-trend piece that spices up a monochrome look, and still keeps the class of this look overall!



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.
