We all have that one celebrity whose fashion choices act as a guide on the days you don’t know what to wear or are needing for a little inspiration. Dakota Johnson has been that person for me for years. Whether I’m searching for ideas on Pinterest or browsing street style pictures, I always gravitate towards her effortless and casual looks.

This inspiration really sparked for fall, and the best part of Johnson’s effortless style is how attainable it is. In an attempt to curate a wardrobe that replicates her outfits (and can create multiple more looks throughout the season), I turned to Nordstrom’s wide selection. Shop her best fall outfits below, which include so many fall staples for under $100.

Look 1

Mango Suede Shoulder Bag, $80
Levi's Belted Long Trench Coat, $140 (Originally $200)
Mavi Jeans Paloma Marine Wide-Leg Corduroy Pants, $128
Adidas Gazelle Indoor Sneaker, $120

Johnson’s casual look incorporates so many quintessential fall pieces, including suede and corduroy materials and a long trench coat. What I like most about this outfit is the combination of textures and colors, which can be easily replicated. Mango’s suede shoulder bag is roomy and has internal and exterior pockets for organization. And this Levi’s trench coat, which will be a go-to for so many occasions this fall, especially since it’s 30 percent off right now.

Look 2

BP. Mid-Rise Baggy Jeans, $60
Mango Polo Cardigan, $50
Madewell Perfect Crew Neck T-Shirt, $42

I was eager to recreate this outfit the moment I saw it, since I already have similar pieces in my closet. I love how polished a classic cardigan looks when layered over a white T-shirt, and this Mango cardigan has the same cropped style as Johnson’s. Plus, the combination of light-wash jeans makes this an ideal early fall look that can be worn with a variety of shoes. Since all of these pieces are $60 or less, it’s an affordable version of Johnson’s style.

Look 3

Mango Faux Leather Shopper, $80
Mango Relaxed Fit Button-Up Shirt, $50
Sam Edelman Layla Sneaker, $100

This third look includes items that, if you don’t already have them in your rotation, should definitely hold a place in your closet. First up is a classic white button-up shirt, which is a versatile piece that goes well with almost any pants. I like having a few on-hand in a variety of sizes and silhouettes, so I’ll be shopping multiples. If you’re in need of an oversized tote bag to carry your laptop or larger essentials, this $80 version from Mango has dual interior pockets and a longer shoulder strap. A comfortable pair of sneakers is also essential for fall, and this Sam Edelman pair has a thick sole and comes in three neutral colors.

While Dakota Johnson’s style inspired these looks, they are also pieces that can be mixed and matched all season. To shop for more fall-ready pieces from Nordstrom, keep scrolling.
