Jessica Alba Topped Her Vacation Outfit with the Comfy Fall Staple Celebs Break Out Each Year Like Clockwork

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

You may have heard about “Brother” summer, but what about it blue jeans baby drop?

Well, Jessica Alba recently made the (unofficial) case for the new movement when she shared a roundup of vacation photos on Instagram, and I couldn’t be more obsessed. Although the actress has spent the past few months rocking dozens of star-studded summer-ready looks, she recently dipped into fall fashion by donning a breezy floral maxi dress with a fall accessory that celebrities rock every year: an oversized denim jacket.

While Alba isn’t the first star to reach for a light layer this year – Céline Dion tried the trend while in Paris for the Olympics – her outfit, complete with a pair of espadrille sandals, served as a great example of how summer pieces can be stylish for early autumn.

Katie Holmes made supportive fisherman sandals fall-appropriate by styling them with two comfortable staples worn by celebs

Omoone oversized denim jacket

Amazon

Orig. $40 $30 on Amazon

I always love having an oversized denim jacket on hand during the fall, and this option from Amazon on sale looks so similar to Alba’s. Thousands of Amazon customers have given it a five-star rating, noting its “super comfortable” fit and “perfect weight” in reviews, and over 200 users have added it to their cart in the past month. Copy the actress by throwing it on over a maxi dress, or channel Jennifer Lawrence by pairing it with jeans for a trendy double denim look.

“It’s not too heavy, but it keeps you warm if the air is cold,” wrote one reviewer. “A great jacket for summer and the perfect transition piece for fall.”

Banana Republic

I’m currently on the hunt for pieces that work for demanding seasonal transitions, like this wrap dress from Banana Republic. While its breezy silhouette and V-neckline are great for battling the late summer heat, its fall-friendly shade and ankle length make it a smart option to reach for in fall, too. The best part? It’s currently 50 percent off.

“Extremely comfortable,” said one customer. “The feeling matches the beauty of the dress. I could wear this all day.”

This isn’t the first time Alba has rocked espadrille sandals recently: She wore a similar double-strap pair during a birthday trip to Mexico earlier this year. Try the trend for yourself by choosing these Steve Madden platform sandals, which one reviewer called “so cute and comfortable.” Available in four colors and sizes 5.5 to 11, these versatile shoes would look just as good with jeans and a light sweater as they would with a flowy maxi dress.
