All Wrapped Up: Julianne Hough's Cozy Knitwear and Ripped Skinny Jean Look for Less

Julianne Hough White Wrap Look for Less
Oversized knits are having a major fashion moment right now. Whether you favor a cape, blanket scarves, ponchos, ruanas or wraps, these pieces offer comfort and style that are perfect as we make our way into winter.

Julianne Hough paired her fringed wrap with edgy ripped skinny jeans, tortoise sunglasses, a leather tote bag and neutral-hued flats. I love how soft the outfit is in terms of color and texture, plus wearing this layering must-have while traveling is pure genius - I always freeze on long flights!

These accessories do have the tendency to hide your shape, but they can look flattering on anyone when you add a bit of balance back to the look. By wearing skinny jeans, Julianne defined her silhouette and made sure the cape didn't overwhelm her body. Plus the ripped knees add just a touch of edge.

Shop Julianne's look below, including a near replica of her creamy white wrap from Renee C that's just $46!

Luxe Layers: Elsa Hosk's Silk Bomber and Green Scarf Look for Less

Elsa Hosk Silk Bomber Jacket and Green Scarf
No matter the season, I'm a huge fan of layering. During the fall to winter transition it makes it super easy to adjust to unpredictable temperatures and lets you continue wearing lighter pieces longer.

Here Elsa Hosk proves that cooler temperatures don't mean you have to hang up fall's trendiest pieces. Elsa pairs an embroidered silk bomber jacket with a charcoal sweater, black leggings and combat boots. To tie the look all together she added a cozy knit hat and a pop of color with a hunter green scarf and matching tote.

I love the touches of color in her accessories and embroidery, and I would even take it a step further when shopping the recreation pieces by choosing a knit beanie in a complimentary color like light pink or burgundy! Read on to shop my picks featuring a gorgeous silk bomber from Vero Moda...

For accessories she kept it minimal with a leather hobo and '60s-inspired sunglasses. With the chillier weather just starting to settle in, it's the perfect time to pick up some must-have knit pieces and I'm obsessed with this lookalike from 525 America. Read on to shop the rest of my picks and steal Dakota's style...

Kristen Cavallari Look for Less
When looking for the most bang for your buck, timeless closet staples are truly the best investment. Kristin Cavallari's look from 2011 is just as in style today as it was then, proving that basic pieces can transcend fads or trendy pieces. Kristin styles her cable-knit sweater with black leggings, tall buckled riding boots and a chic leather handbag. Reimagined I've stuck with her classic look, but added updates like the trapeze structure in the handbag and an option to add a little edge with a lace-up option. Whether you opt for the classic look or update it, you'll be looking chic and staying comfortable this season! Get the look below, and make sure to check out my latest find from H&M, "treggings." The jegging-alternative offers a thicker, sturdier, stretchable fabric that makes it 100% acceptable to sport the tight-fitting legwear as pants.
