Welcome to The Blueprint, where we take apart the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and recreate them, piece by piece.
As the certified “japper” of my friend group, I went through a lot when I saw my long-distance best friend on vacation — and one topic of conversation was Kendall Jenner’s style.
Out of all the members of the Kardashian-Jenner family, the models’ outfits are the ones I would wear the most every day. For example, on January 4, Jenner wore a tight red sweater with slightly baggy black jeans. She also slung a bag over her shoulder and slipped on a pair of black loafers, a style we’ve seen on Jennifer Garner and Katie Holmes, for a little more polish.

A sweater and jeans are a comfortable combination for cold days, while loafers look dressier than sneakers without the problem of heels. Overall, it was a thoughtfully modern look that could serve many purposes in your closet—so I found a few similar styles from Spanx, Amazon, Gap, and more starting at $14.

Oprah’s turtleneck sweater and sweatpants are exactly what we want to wear all winter long
Spanx AirEssentials Luxe Half Zip Tunic
Spanx
$138 at Spanx
I don’t know if Kendall owns any Spanx clothing (although her sister Kylie does), but her sweater sure reminds me of one from the brand: this AirEssentials tunic. Speaking about AirEssentials pieces, Oprah once said that fabric is “the softest material [she has] sweat felt”, and this sweater is made of it. It’s also longer than the half-zip worn by Gwyneth Paltrow.
Red is growing fast, but three others – mauve grey, black and white – are also in stock.
Reformation Mia vintage high rise jeans

$168 $67 in Reformation
I’ve had black jeans on my wish list for years, so one of my New Year’s resolutions is to finally get a pair. I’m a big reformer — I just got these silk pants for Christmas and have worn them three times already! — and this pair is now $101 off. They’re boot style, which means they’re relaxed like Jenner’s and extremely practical for winter boots.
Dream penny loafers
Amazon
$23 on Amazon
I love chunky shoes, like loafers with soles, but lately I’ve been craving a dressier pair. I tried on a few styles last week but didn’t want to spend a ton because I wasn’t sure if the style would last in my closet. These shoes have the thin sole I’m looking for and are reasonably priced. They come in sizes 6 to 10 and “look classy” and “aren’t too harsh for sensitive feet,” according to one customer.
Lucky Brand Brit shoulder bag
Nordstrom rack
$158 $80 at Nordstromrack.com
No, I’m not cool with shoulder bags, but this year I’m warming up to shoulder bags. They are still lightweight and have a bit more swagger, in my opinion. This option from Lucky Brand is made of leather, but has an easy-to-clean lining for the inevitable lip gloss and makeup spills.
