To say we are obsessed with Jennifer Lawrence’s off-duty style is an understatement. Anytime she takes to the streets of Manhattan, her current resting place, we are immediately pressed to screenshot each and every look, to either recreate within our own closet or save for future inspiration. What’s so compelling about her style is the simplicity of it all. Each outfit is built from stylish, quality pieces (she’s no stranger to The Row or Khaite), all which have a minimalist-meets-downtown flair. She’s also not afraid of the rewear, demonstrating how smart wardrobe investments are the building blocks of a contemporary closet.

Summer is the perfect time to lean into this less-is-more fashion philosophy, just as Lawrence demonstrates flawlessly. Her personal wardrobe is stocked full of the best basics, including breezy poplin pants, made-to-be-seen denim, and plenty of really good T-shirts, either plain and simple or something graphic. But where she really brings it, is the accessories. Whether that be a drool-worthy designer handbag, an of-the-moment fashion shoe, a hype-girl sneaker, or a perfectly worn, vintage-inspired ball cap, she proves that the finishing touches should never be an afterthought.
Keeping this modern way of dressing in mind, we compiled a guide to the best-of-summer looks Lawrence has been sporting as of late. These 10 outfit formulas bring the serious cool factor, while being extremely easy to pull off. Keep reading below to find that extra dose of style inspiration we all need to get us through these last few weeks of summer and into Labor Day weekend.

Sheer Delights
Lawrence has been leaning into indie fashion brands more than ever this summer. Case in point: her ultra-cool, Paloma Wool pants. Part skirt, part pants—they make a serious case for the sheer trend we saw on the runway earlier this year, with a super wearable way to do it. By styling them with an oversized T-shirt in a matching hue, strappy low-heels, and a hybrid bag from The Row, this look takes summer-in-the-city dressing to new heights.

Cotton Core
You can never go wrong with the classics. A white T-shirt and punchy, cotton pants are exactly how great summer looks start. However, Lawrence makes this more street-friendly and less Hamptons Classic, with the addition of a lacy underlayer and accessories that pop. A Polo Ralph Lauren ball cap and fashion-forward flip-flops give this look a quirky twist, while her mainstay Liffner tote and oversized shades add a bit of downtown flair. We can’t think of an easier, or more impactful, combo.

Polished in Khaki
Gasps were heard when this look went viral. Lawrence does it again, with a look we want to wear right away—and thankfully it’s easy to recreate. Start with a khaki-colored dress in a minimalist-friendly silhouette. Add a standout, cord pendant necklace in contrasting black, then match the rest of your accessories accordingly. Leather flip-flops and a hardworking work tote are everyday add-ons that will work with you, rather than against.

Scarf Styling
Even Lawrence isn’t afraid to test drive a buzzy summer trend. Case in point—the scarf belt. This one has made serious waves across the Internet, and Lawrence effortlessly incorporates it into her everyday ensemble. A bold T-shirt, poplin pants, ballerina flats, and a Foundrae necklace, are all standby staples in her world, made even more striking with the addition of a graphic scarf at the waist. The devil is in the details—so be sure to keep your print in line with minimalist codes, as Lawrence so brilliantly demonstrates.

Blue Jean Baby
Lawrence knows the importance of good denim. Her go-to is a slouchy, boyfriend silhouette, which in the perfect shade of medium blue, happens to be the best jean for summer. It’s loose, it’s light, and it can be worn endlessly with T-shirts or tanks, and even, in this case, with an embroidered vest. She went with strappy, Manolo Blahnik sandals and a ladylike bowling bag to complete the ensemble, and we can’t think of a better pairing to bring a Bohemian-meets-downtown feel to life.

Pajama Party
What is breezier than a pajama-inspired set on a hot day? This season, Lawrence trades up her go-to poplin for something on the silkier side, for a touch of boudoir glamour. A creamy satin set will flow with the breeze, and keep you looking elegant and elevated all day long. Add mesh flats (a J.Law signature!) in a monochrome tone, subtle gold jewelry, classic sunnies, plus the pièce de résistance—a Dior Saddle bag; it’s well worth the investment.

Art House Cool
Recently in Manhattan, Lawrence stepped out in a vintage T-shirt featuring a bold Picasso print, igniting major outfit envy (and a Depop deep dive). Get your vintage-inspired fix with Loewe’s graphic top, featuring another legendary great, this time from the classical music world. Pair as she does with coordinating, primary-colored basics such as bold pants and a long-sleeved layering top, then finish off with summer essentials like a crochet bag and woven sun hat—plus, the sneakerina is a must!

Ladylike With a Twist
Once again, showing us how to do sheer dressing the right way, Lawrence opted for a paired-back ensemble that left us wanting more. By choosing a sleek dress with just hits of transparency (still leaving something to the imagination), it takes a more refined tone, especially when topped off with a crewneck sweater, tied around the neck, and simple ballet flats. For us, the real cherry on the top is the Khaite x Oliver Peoples sunglasses—it’s all about the right accessories in the end, isn’t it?

Slip Into It
Although she often keeps it classic and clean, Lawrence isn’t afraid to have a little fun with her wardrobe, either. Take this groovier ensemble, for example. A vintage T-shirt goes from Woodstock to city streets when paired with a slip skirt and lingerie-inspired layers, strappy leather sandals, and a bold red handbag. True to her signature styling, it wouldn’t be a summer look without a Polo Ralph Lauren baseball cap, giving it that cool contrast she does oh-so well.

Feel-Good Favorites
There’s nothing like a favorite pair of jeans, a well-loved T-shirt, or a go-to pair of sneakers. Once you find these timeless mainstays that resonate, they can live in your closet forever. Lawrence executes this method of concept dressing expertly, her pieces du jour being a baggy jean, slightly sheer T-shirt, and gum-soled Adidas sneakers (she pioneered the return of the Taekwondo, after all). Unafraid of repeat wear, we just know she feels good in them—not to mention, they are ideal picks for long summer days in the city, then can transition straight to fall.
