Astylish Button-Down Blouse, $25 with coupon 

Swift’s shoulder-showing denim corset worked perfectly fine for her visit to Kansas City at the beginning of September. But even her outfits are getting warmer — so if it’s a denim shirt you want, something with sleeves would be a better score for fall. And hey, the versatile button-up also looks a lot like Reese Witherspoon and Martha Stewart’s. 

Vetinee Oversized Denim Button-Up Shacket, $30 with Prime

Button-up shirts are a go-to for celebrities, and a denim shacket is a style you should have in your rotation, too. This best-seller is a “great alternative to a regular denim jacket,” according to one shopper. It’s also the “perfect weight to keep me warm” without “wearing a full jacket,” another reviewer shared. 

Luvamia Button-Down Denim Shacket, $32 with Prime

Another shacket, this style is like a more lived-in version of Jennifer Lawrence’s during Paris Fashion Week. And it would go so well with various bottoms, like a faux leather skirt or trousers, or with a pair of jeans (see below) for a Canadian Tuxedo, a trend Katie Holmes has been crushing. 

Lee Legendary Rider Denim Jacket, $22 with Prime

For an actual denim jacket, this is a sleeker option that would bode well with thin thermal layers worn underneath. It’s not cropped — it sits below your waist, according to Amazon — but it’s also not lengthy like Swift's from last season. There’s other washes to choose from, too, including white, black, and light blue. 

Sidefeel Oversized Button Jean Jacket, $32 with Prime 

If you’ve mastered dressing for those days that feel like you’re in between seasons, you’ll probably know that you need an oversized jacket to wear with thicker garments like cable-knit sweaters or sweater dresses. Also, something with side slits helps with “flexibility,” per one shopper, and is going to feel less constrictive since the layers have room to move around. 

LifeShe Oversized Denim Jacket with Hood, $45 with coupon 

Dion’s topper is playing mind tricks on us: Is she wearing a hoodie under her jacket or is it part of her jacket? You could certainly do either, but the latter means you won’t need to bulk up with an additional layer. And bonus, the hood on this one is detachable so you can copy Dion’s look or just wear it plain. 

Drefbufy Denim Maxi Dress 

When it’s windy and chilly outside, but hot as an oven inside, you need something like this maxi dress. It’s nice and long, so your legs won’t be completely bare, but it’s made from cotton, not a toasty warm fabric like wool or cashmere. 

Kuraki Button-Front Maxi Shirt Dress

Can’t decide between wearing a shirt or a dress? That’s why shirt dresses were made. Okay, so not really, but they do actually have stylish qualities of both. They’re also a celebrity-worn style, and you could even almost wear it as a duster coat, too. 

LookbookStore Button-Down Tiered Babydoll Denim Dress, $36 with Prime

Something shorter that you can make warm with tights or tall boots, this denim dress is longer in the back, so it won’t feel as much like a mini as you might think. And the fabric is “not too thick of a denim material, nor is it thin and cheap,” as described by one customer. 

Minibee Midi Dress with Pockets, $32 with Prime 

If you want something that fits more like athleisure rather than skin-tight, mull over this midi dress. It’s tastefully baggy around the midsection, while the bottom doesn’t just fall flat — it almost resembles the way a wedding or prom dress would look when bustled. It’d also be even more comfortable with a pair of leggings underneath. 

Levi's Women's 501 Crop Jeans, $46 with Prime

And while jeans aren’t new, you should still have a go-to pair if you don’t already. Witherspoon’s worn cropped pants and basic jeans recently, and since we want both together, we’re eyeing this pair that’s now 43 percent off. One thing to take into consideration? Shoppers say they’re not stretchy, so you should count on them fitting more like traditional denim.  

Angels Forever Young Signature Straight Crop Jeans, $27 with Prime

In contrast to the Levi’s, these are designed to be more stretch-friendly and lax. The cuffs also appear very nonchalant — in a “you just rolled them up to walk along the beach” kind of way — but will look even and won’t continuously fall down your legs. 

Levi's Wedgie Straight Jeans, $31 with Prime

Aside from a cropped length, which these still have, a straight-leg fit displays your curves in a more slack way. Witherspoon, Kate Hudson, and Jennifer Garner are all great examples of this. 

Grapent Pull On Wide-Leg Jean Trousers, $32 with Prime

Do you dread having to put on jeans because you know zipping them is going to be a struggle? A pull-on pair is a real game-changer. They stretch to fit, and no one will even know. 

Tronjori Tiered Midi Denim Skirt, $29 with Prime

While SJP is busy wearing denim dresses IRL, her on-screen alter-ego Carrie Bradshaw appears to be doting on denim skirts. A midi length is more modest for professional settings, and the less skin showing, the warmer you’ll be. It also has a tiered construction, which is just like another pink skirt she wore while in character, only more neutral. 

Allegra K Button-Down Jean Skirt

You’ve heard about button-down shirts, but did you know that button-down skirts are an option, too? With this pick, a simple sweater tucked in, and a belt to boot, you’re going to look just like Kelly Clarkson: sophisticated. Just don’t forget your slip shorts!
