I'm Calling It the Jennifer Lawrence Effect—8 Luxe Staples I'm Scrambling to Buy
If you’ve been paying any sort of attention to Jennifer Lawrence’s style lately, you’ll notice that she’s slowly but surely become our muse. Lawrence has really strengthened her sense of style by shifting away from the bold prints and colorful items she wore earlier in her career, and now she is seen on a nearly daily basis running around the streets of New York City in luxe staples and cool accessories that put the Olsens to shame.
Watching her style transform before her eyes has had me thinking about the future of my own wardrobe, and luxe staples are at the top of my list right now. Below, find the eight luxe staples I’m currently scrambling to buy.
1. Tailored Vests
You can't enter the Who What Wear office on a regular workday without seeing someone wearing this staple. It's the easiest way to exude luxury without putting in too much effort.
Shop the staple:
2. Wide-Leg Pants
Almost every image I've seen of Jennifer Lawrence running around New York City involves a pair of wide-leg pants. Whether they're silk or denim, she's styling them with everything in her closet.
Shop the staple:
3. Fitted Tees
J.Law shifts between fitted and boxy T-shirts, but the more fitted styles ended up being the most worn in her street style photos. You'll never regret stocking up on those basics.
Shop the staple:
4. Button-Down Shirts
Lawrence's motto is when in doubt, add an oversize button-down shirt. At least that's what it looks like based on her street style photos.
Shop the staple:
5. Oversize Trench Coats
If you were already considering buying an oversize trench coat, this photo is going to put you over the edge. The layering and the fit of this one is absolutely amazing.
Shop the staple:
6. Retro Baseball Caps
Jennifer Lawrence owns this hat in more colors than we could count on one hand. It's the definition of New England style and is the perfect solution for bad hair days.
Shop the staple:
7. Sunglasses
You deserve as many oversize black sunglasses as your closet can hold. Jennifer Lawrence is all stocked up on them, so you should be too.
Shop the staple:
8. Wide-Leg Jeans
This look is giving us Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy vibes. Wide-leg jeans are the luxe staple to know, so if you don't have a good pair yet, we suggest trying these out.
Shop the staple:
Sierra Mayhew was always destined to work in fashion, but she didn't know it at first. Growing up with no choice but to wear a rotation of school uniforms and activewear, her love for fashion really blossomed when she moved away for college and was able to finally define her very own personal style. Shortly thereafter, she interned at Elle magazine and instantly knew that editorial was for her. After graduating from the University of Notre Dame, she worked for ShopBazaar, contributing regularly to Bazaar.com, and finally made her way to Who What Wear, where she is an associate editor. When she’s not working, you can catch her always trying to catch a flight, rollerblading through New York City traffic, or exploring the latest luxury vintage boutique.
