If you’re looking for some new pieces to tide you over from now until fall sets in properly, opting for soft neutral tones is a good place to start. Chic separates in biscuity-beige, off-white, and warm-caramel hues will help you transition away from sunny day brights and floaty floral pieces, and ease you into moodier tones. They can then be very easily styled with the entirety of your cool-weather closet, too.
Jessica Alba clearly got the end-of-summer memo, as she recently stepped out in a classic crisp white shirt, which she expertly tucked into a cream-colored Hermès Kelly skirt. The actress then finished her button-down ensemble with a pair of tan Stuart Weitzman slingback heels and a small black Hermès Kelly bag. The whole look worked beautifully, and the soft colors acted like a closet palette cleanse for the end of the season.
Jessica’s outfit is an easy one to recreate, plus the smart and preppy vibe will work for all kinds of occasions. You could easily wear this look for a day at the office or as a fresh take on your date night outfits. You can find some exact designer matches as well as some similar buys below – happy shopping.

Shop Jessica’s look
Reformation
Andy Oversized Shirt
Add a classic oversized white shirt to your year-round closet, and you will get an endless amount of wear out of it. Team with a midi skirt, barrel leg jeans or style it over a simple slip dress.
COS
Asymmetric Organic Cotton Midi Skirt
This one has a similar color to Jessica’s style, but the crossover front and asymmetric hemline help to give it a very modern feel. Try it with white sneakers and a tee for a more casual look.
Stuart Weitzman
Stuart Sculpt Slingback 50
These soft tan suede heels finished off the star’s smart outfit nicely, but they will look equally as chic with wide leg jeans or neatly tailored pants.
Don’t panic if your budget won’t stretch as far as a luxury Hermès tote, as this designer lookalike will do the job nicely but for a fraction of the price.
Vince
Stretch Cotton Midi Skirt
This skirt has a softer shape that gives it a relaxed feel. Tuck in a graphic print T-shirt and finish with your best white sneakers for weekend cool.
Soft neutrals look gorgeous together (as proven by Jessica), and the soft cream and white tones will work well to move your daytime closet into the new season.
Take note from the star and team up smarter basics in one outfit, or opt for a more casual take on the trend by wearing white denim with a caramel-hued top, or a soft mocha-toned blouse.
Finish with shoes and accessories from a similar beige color palette, or try adding pattern with some bold leopard print heels.
