Style Spy: Weekend Style

Gwen StefaniIf there is one thing we love about Gwen Stefani, it is that she consistently creates unexpectedly-chic outfits. For instance, take a look at what she wore while out and about in West Hollywood over the weekend. Her ensemble—a draped white jacket, a grey tunic top, and slouchy charcoal trousers—has a low-key vibe about it, certainly, but it also has a folksy feeling. The key is balance. By picking a slim-fit jacket, Gwen has countered the baggy silhouette of her pants and tunic top, creating a look that stays true to her ultra-cool aesthetic. To make this look your own, pick up Oasis’s Suede Jacket ($215.64) and pair it with pieces like ASOS’s Tunic Drape Top ($32.35) and All Saints’s Layla Trousers ($199). A pair of J Crew’s Twisted T-Strap Sandals ($49.99) will complete the look.
Anne Hathaway
It is common knowledge that accessories are a quick and easy way to elevate your ensemble from simple to smart, which is why we love the ensemble Anne Hathaway was spotted wearing out and about in Hollywood on a Sunday afternoon earlier this month. Anne picked out some key basics—a white tee, a black blazer, and black skinny jeans—and paired them with simple black sandals. Then, she gave her look a pop of color by adding a brightly-printed scarf. This simple addition changed the overall vibe of her outfit in an instant, making it perfect for your next lazy Sunday! To try this look yourself, pair a scarf like Emilio Pucci’s Printed Scarf ($276) or Forever 21′s Light & Easy Scarf ($7.80) with pieces like Topshop’s Diamond Jacquard Blazer ($130) and Siwy’s Rose Skinny Jeans ($165).
Alessandra Ambrosio
One of the best ways to put together a casual yet chic ensemble is by turning to denim. For instance, take a look at the outfit Alessandra Ambrosio wore while out and about in Los Angeles on a Sunday earlier this month. Instead of opting for basic blue, Alessandra picked out a pair of red jeans, which instantly made her outfit pop. Then, she added a button-down shirt—a wardrobe staple—and chic ballet flats. The result? A stylish outfit that takes just three easy pieces. To make this look your own, pick up a pair of jeans like Rag & Bone’s Capri Jeans ($165) or J Brand’s 811 Mid-Rise Twill Cropped Skinny Jeans($175). Then, simply add James Perse’s Contrast Panel Shirt ($155) and Lauren by Ralph Lauren’sAmarissa Ballet Flats ($49.99) and you are all set.
Rachel Zoe
Now, we rarely use the word ‘casual’ to describe Rachel Zoe, but if you take a look at the outfit she wore while out and about in West Hollywood on a Sunday earlier this month, you will see that Rachel has her own version of casual. That said, we love what she wore! Her outfit—a long tunic top, a leather jacket, leggings, and thigh-high boots—stays true to Rachel’s modern-boho style, but it also is relaxed and easy to wear. And that, dear readers, is exactly what you need on a Sunday! To try this look for yourself, start with basics like James Perse’s Thermal Tunic ($110) and Splendid’s Modal Leggings ($57). Then, simply add a few statement pieces, such as All Saints’s Vigo Jacket ($495) and KG’s Vivienne Suede Boots ($359.40), and you are all set.
