J.Lo Wore the Fall Bag Trend That Says "I'm Rich," Even If You Aren't RN
Whenever I'm looking to put together an outfit that elevates me from "27-year-old with a tendency to shop instead of save" to "27-year-old who's unbothered about money because she has so much of it," I look to *the* luxury dresser, Jennifer Lopez. As someone who regularly dons the most lavish of designer labels, from Brunello Cucinelli and Ralph Lauren to Hermès and Dior, the actress and singer knows a bit—read a lot—about looking rich, making her an obvious source of inspiration.
Proof of this lies in her most recent street style sighting, which shows her wearing a muted color palette of cognac and mocha brown and combining fabrics like suede, silk, and denim. Specifically, Lopez wore a brown A.L.C. blazer and white blouse with straight-leg jeans, platform heels, oversize sunglasses, and the most gorgeous cognac-colored suede Birkin I've ever seen. The result? The kind of low-key ensemble that immediately comes to mind when you think of casual luxury.
Unfortunately, with such an elevated wardrobe, getting J.Lo's exact look, especially her bag, will come at a significant price. Luckily, the suede-bag trend is everywhere right now for fall, making it easy to mimic her outfit without completely breaking the bank. I'm starting with J.Crew's newest suede handbag line for autumn and going from there. Shop the selection and more suede bags below.
On Jennifer Lopez: A.L.C. blazer and top; Hermès bag; Azlee Small Emerald Column Charm ($1510), Heavy Large Circle Link Textured Chain ($9560), and Lion Black Onyx Amulet Charm ($3200)
