Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and piece them together, piece by piece.

The busiest month of the year is officially upon us and the last thing I want to do is think about my outfit before running out the door. Luckily for me, Jennifer Lopez has just put together the outfit blueprint I’ll be living by this winter, taking a variation on the coat style that Taylor Swift and Angelina Jolie have recently rocked and creating an everyday fit that feels casual, but doesn’t look like it.

The 55-year-old singer and actress somehow made her Christmas shopping look effortless as she wore a classic outfit that was simple but carefully put together in Beverly Hills. From the artfully tucked-in shirt with a loosely buttoned neckline to the flared jeans to the heavy gray coat, each piece played an important role in this everyday ensemble that can make anyone look perfect in an instant.

Most people wear a trench coat like the ones Brooke Shields and Gwyneth Paltrow wear, but Lopez’s appears to be made of a thicker fabric that’s more suitable for winter weather. Since I probably won’t be able to afford her coat, I used my shopping writing skills to find alternative styles in different silhouettes and fabrics to get her look at an acceptable price – but that’s not all.

Her elevated everyday outfit inspired me to look for similar jeans and white button-downs so I too can do my holiday shopping in J.Lo fashion (just in Soho instead of SoCal). Scroll to check out the strikingly similar styles I found for just $22.

Jennifer Lopez’s outfit blueprint

Bernardo Modern Trench Coat

From the Mac coat collar to the belted silhouette, this heavily discounted coat is a good mix of Lopez’s style and the trench coats celebrities keep reaching for. It features a row of hidden buttons reminiscent of her single-breasted coat and a detachable belt that makes a fashion statement.

One reviewer called it the “perfect all-weather coat” and appreciated the rainproof fabric, while another praised the roomy design that makes it easy to layer sweaters under. Style this loose trench coat like a star with a button-down shirt and jeans, or get holiday party ready with knee-high boots, a skirt, tights and a sweater.

Hotouch Oversized Button Down Shirt

In my opinion, no wardrobe is complete without a simple button-down shirt. My only request: it must be oversized. Considering how loosely Lopez’s top is tucked into the waistband of her jeans, I can assume her top looks a bit like this one – slightly baggy and totally fashionable. This top features a drop-shoulder silhouette that complements its compliant shape, creating a timeless outfit with any jeans, dress pants or skirts and is perfect to wear under a jacket.

Levi’s 726 high-rise flare jeans

While we knew Lopez had been a fan of wide-leg jeans in recent years, she slipped into a flared style for this latest outing. Not only do Levi’s jeans get rave reviews from Beyoncé, they were also some of the best jeans we tested this year, making these flares some of the best money can buy (at least for us).

“(I) can’t live without my Levi’s,” one shopper wrote. They explained that these jeans are usually expensive, so they try to buy them on sale — and luckily, in the wake of Cyber ​​Monday, they’re cheaper than usual. “But even if not, they are still worth every penny,” they concluded.
