There’s no denying that Jennifer Lopez is the poster girl for loud luxury. While the star’s remarkable red carpet style practically screams “opulence,” her jaw-dropping winter capsule wardrobe is arguably just as lavish.

During the colder months, J.Lo rarely steps outside the house without slipping into sophisticated staples like plush faux fur coats and cashmere sweaters. The A-lister has even managed to unequivocally elevate laid-back pieces—namely chunky Ugg boots and baggy jeans. Her secret to mastering a rich-looking outfit? Accessories, of course. Besides wearing sleek sunglasses and shimmering jewelry, she often totes an array of extravagant Birkin bags—some of which cost upwards of $100,000.

However, recreating Lopez’s rotation of wealthy uniforms doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Ahead, you’ll discover a collection of J.Lo’s classiest chilly-weather looks that will fit right into your closet—from Fair Isle sweaters paired alongside trouser-like jeans to figure-hugging knit dresses coordinated with kitten heels. Your guide to expensive style awaits—just let Lopez lead the way.

If you ask Lopez how to look instantly put-together, she’ll tell you to stick with an all-white color palette that feels efforelssly clean and crisp. Take a page from her style playbook and choose a sculpted knit dress, a fuzzy faux fur coat, and a pair of razor sharp stilettos.

Keep Warm, and Carry On

Although I never thought I’d take the no-pants look for a spin, Lopez’s matchy-matchy Gucci set has convinced me otherwise. I’ll follow suit with a co-ord drenched in a sweet shade of mocha mousse and I’ll make sure to cover my legs with knee-high boots.

A No-Fail Combination

While shades of sapphire rank high on the list of this season’s color trends, Lopez has made a case for both navy and turquoise. Here, she flawlessly showcases how to combine the two vivid hues in a way that doesn’t feel overwhelming.
