Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and build them back up, piece by piece.
Until I gain access to Jessica Alba's closet (a girl can dream!), shopping staples inspired by her awe-worthy outfits will have to do.
The latest look of Alba's that I'm eager to copy? The easy fall outfit she wore while out with her boyfriend, Danny Ramirez, in New York City on September 16. Serving a masterclass in date night dressing, the actress sported an oversized brown leather jacket, wide-leg jeans, a brown strapless top, and brown pointed-toe heels during the outing.
As if I didn't already love her outfit enough, I became even more obsessed when I realized that two of its main pieces were called out by personal stylist Samantha Dawn as staples you should definitely stock up on for fall (more on that below).
If you're ready to join me in shopping the easy autumn uniform I plan on wearing on repeat, keep scrolling to score leather jackets, wide-leg jeans, and brown boots starting at $33.
I live in my favorite leather jacket from September through March, so I'm planning on snagging this Alba-inspired option from Amazon to add to my outerwear collection. I love that its asymmetrical zipper and edgy belted hem differ from the basic black leather jacket I already have in my closet, and I like that it's stylist-approved: Dawn previously told PEOPLE that the closet classic is stylish enough to wear multiple times "without worrying about being an outfit repeater."
As a relaxed jeans purist, I breathed a major sigh of relief when Dawn told us that skinny jeans are "out" for fall. Instead, she recommends wide-leg silhouettes, like the ones Alba wore during her night out in N.Y.C. Copy the actress' look with this popular pair from Levi's that hundreds of Amazon shoppers have added to their carts in the past month. One reviewer said they "fit like a glove," while another appreciated that they have "just the right amount of stretch."
While Alba finished her outfit off with a polished pair of pointed-toe heels, I think that brown boots would look just as good -- and make the outfit even more wearable for everyday. Start curating your fall footwear lineup with these sleek boots from Amazon. Their ankle-height shaft makes them well-suited for everything from cropped jeans to knee-length skirts, and one reviewer said that the boots’ pointed-toe silhouette helped “elongate [their] leg.”
