*This* Is How to Make a Sweater and Boots Look as Elevated as a Dress and Heels

Dressing up for dinner or a date is always easier during the summer because you can wear all the minidresses and strappy heels your heart desires. Once the weather gets colder, you don't want to get stranded outside with bare legs and arms. Sweaters and boots might not seem inherently dressy, but Jessica Alba just proved that the fall-ready combo can indeed look elevated for a night out.
Photographed in Los Angeles this week, Alba wore an oversize sweater, a satin slip skirt, knee-high leather boots, and a cozy scarf. Including a few different shades of brown, this look is a prime example of how to do tonal dressing right. She even went as far as to paint her nails dark brown! Now, that's dedication to a color palette. Her outfit is simultaneously weather-appropriate, elegant, and comfortable. What's not to love?

She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
