Dakota Johnson combined two of Hollywood’s biggest trends in a single piece — and now we want one.

The actress was seen in New York City wearing a preppy polo sweater, like the ones we’ve seen recently on celebs from Jennifer Garner to Martha Stewart, in a bright red hue that’s undoubtedly the color of the moment. She looked equal parts city cool and classically comfy in the sweater, styled with a pair of relaxed jeans, square-toe pumps, and a sizable shoulder bag .

Johnson’s top appears to be the Halvar sweater from Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s fashion label, The Row, which costs $2,150. The good news is, you don’t have to spend anywhere near that sum for your own version — we found similar styles from Aerie, J.Crew, Gap, and more for as little as $19.

Mango Zip-Neck Jumper

At a glance, this option from Mango could easily be mistaken for the one Johnson wore. The slim fit, coloring, collar, length, and zipper are all similar, with the big differences being the lack of a chest pocket and the rib knit. Keep it unzipped for the casual, preppy look the Suspiria star pulled off, or zip it all the way to your chin for stylish protection on the chilliest fall mornings.

PrettyGarden Quarter-Zip Pullover

A relaxed fit is a plus during layering season, and this one is roomier than what we saw Johnson wearing. It keeps the bright red coloring, collar, and zipper but features a chunky-knit style and exaggerated cuffs that make it a great choice for wearing well into winter. The reviews say it runs large, so consider sizing down.

J.Crew Featherweight Cashmere-Blend Long-Sleeve Polo Shirt

If you don’t like the feeling of a metal zipper against your skin, you should opt for a button-up polo sweater like this J.Crew option. It reminds us of one Katie Holmes wore tucked into jeans at the U.S. Open last year — but in the cherry red of Johnson’s pullover. This one is made with a super-soft lightweight cashmere blend and has a sleek slim fit that, like Holmes’, looks great tucked in. You can get it in sizes ranging from XXS to 3XL.
