I accidentally very purposefully watched the first Fifty Shades movie for research (editor’s note: no one asked Kelly to do this) and discovered many things about myself: like I can tolerate a shockingly high level of crazy-bad dialogue, I’m just not aroused by fancy cars, there is such a thing as too much exaggerated lip-biting, and also that Dakota Johnson’s bangs will inevitably inspire me to make the poor decision to cut my own bangs with a dull pair of kitchen scissors.
Besides her bangs, Dakota Johnson has an enviable collection of menswear-inspired pieces that feel perfect for there’s-a-slight-chill-in-the-air weather. Replicate her attainable style with the following tips.

Johnson’s sunglasses collection proves that they can be an integral finishing touch to any (and every) outfit. I love that she has a few classic “looks” she’ll go for again and again with slight variations. Great inspo for a capsule wardrobe.

This sweater is literally what my dreams are made of—so good, non? I love the unexpected pairing with a skirt, and I’ll be reimagining it all fall with layered summer-y dresses to get the most wear out of all my pieces. All these looks can be really intermixed and weaved together, which is capsule dressing at its finest.
When in doubt, throw on a leather jacket

A leather jacket is the perfect everyday layer over casual jeans and a tee but also adds the perfect amount of contrast to more feminine dresses or silhouettes.
