I'm Calling It the Jennifer Lawrence Effect—8 Luxe Staples I'm Scrambling to Buy

Sierra Mayhew  Tue, 19 Sep 2023  Who What Wear

If you’ve been paying any sort of attention to Jennifer Lawrence’s style lately, you’ll notice that she’s slowly but surely become our muse. Lawrence has really strengthened her sense of style by shifting away from the bold prints and colorful items she wore earlier in her career, and now she is seen on a nearly daily basis running around the streets of New York City in luxe staples and cool accessories that put the Olsens to shame.

Watching her style transform before her eyes has had me thinking about the future of my own wardrobe, and luxe staples are at the top of my list right now. Below, find the eight luxe staples I’m currently scrambling to buy.

You can't enter the Who What Wear office on a regular workday without seeing someone wearing this staple. It's the easiest way to exude luxury without putting in too much effort.

Almost every image I've seen of Jennifer Lawrence running around New York City involves a pair of wide-leg pants. Whether they're silk or denim, she's styling them with everything in her closet. 

J.Law shifts between fitted and boxy T-shirts, but the more fitted styles ended up being the most worn in her street style photos. You'll never regret stocking up on those basics.

Lawrence's motto is when in doubt, add an oversize button-down shirt. At least that's what it looks like based on her street style photos.

If you were already considering buying an oversize trench coat, this photo is going to put you over the edge. The layering and the fit of this one is absolutely amazing.

Jennifer Lawrence owns this hat in more colors than we could count on one hand. It's the definition of New England style and is the perfect solution for bad hair days.

You deserve as many oversize black sunglasses as your closet can hold. Jennifer Lawrence is all stocked up on them, so you should be too.

This look is giving us Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy vibes. Wide-leg jeans are the luxe staple to know, so if you don't have a good pair yet, we suggest trying these out.
