Eva Longoria’s Take on the Espresso Trend Martha Stewart Keeps Wearing Is My New Fall Uniform

Welcome to The Blueprint, where we take apart the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and recreate them, piece by piece.

I used to think black was the “most important color” of fall and winter, but celebrities like Martha Stewart, Kelly Clarkson, and Eva Longoria have been claiming the new shade as their own lately.

From cardigans to sweaters to dresses, stars have been wearing brown in a variety of creative ways, and Longoria just showed us how to make the trend even more stylish. During the visit Good morning America in New York, the actress wore a brushed leather maxi skirt styled with a sleek mock neck blouse and brown brushed leather boots.

Antelope is my seasonal favorite because it’s warm, stylish and versatile. Wearing the fabric as a midi or maxi skirt is a great alternative to jeans, and I may have to buy one for Thanksgiving dinner.

Copy Longoria’s outfit this holiday season with these similar brushed leather and faux brushed leather skirts, mock neck blouses, and boots available at Nordstrom, J.Crew, Banana Republic, and more.

Christie Brinkley’s seasonal take on this denim trend is so stylish and practical for fall

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I can’t get enough brown this season. And I don’t have a skirt in that shade yet, so I’ll have to add this midi available at Revolve to my cart. The long silhouette protects your legs, and you can even wear it with leggings for extra warmth. The front slit makes this brushed leather skirt breathable, and it has functional front and back pockets, which is a bonus.

Like Longoria, Meghan Markle is also a fan of mock necks. I like to wear them for extra coverage before the temperatures really start to drop and turtlenecks become a must. This blouse from Banana Republic Factory is so elegant thanks to the shiny satin fabric, and the long sleeves have elastic cuffs to keep in the warmth.

For those who already own a pair of black boots, consider swapping them out for a pair of tan suede lookalikes, like this Sam Edelman option. They have an almond toe, a block heel and a zipper on the side, which makes them easy to slip on. One customer said they “could comfortably walk over a mile in them.”

It’s official; my closet just got more espresso colored. Keep scrolling for more combo pieces that remind us of Eva Longoria’s latest GMA look.
