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.
1. Tailored Vests
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.

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.

4. Button-Down Shirts
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.
