Jennifer Lawrence Modernizes Business Casual for 2010
Blazers, pants, and button-downs have one thing in common. It's the rotation of workwear as our daily uniform that shows we are well put together. Coupled with the current trend of simple styling (Re: quiet luxury) and luxury "it" brands refining their basics, workwear staples are bound to push the envelope in the office. The latest celebrity to demonstrate the appeal of casual corporate style is Jennifer Lawrence, who wore a button-down shirt and pants to a night out in New York City.
Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence showed off her scaled-down aesthetic in an oversized white button-down with short sleeves, black pants, and a black leather belt from The Row. Lawrence, working with fashion stylist Jamie Mizrah, completed the streamlined look with a sculptural black shoulder bag and pointed-toe ballet shoes.
As a first-year advisor at Goldman Sachs, her outfit may not seem so newsworthy, but it is. Lawrence's recent street style, including the button-down and pants combination, recalls the business casual boom of the early 2010s. With unpretentious basics like button-down shirts, wide-leg pants, and ballet flats for a night out, Lawrence pioneered a trend that in 2023 could even be called corporate-core: wearing staples in the office after hours.
Lawrence's look, and her new aesthetic, further elevates the fashionability of the "stealth wealthy" style. It is true that simple, under-the-radar, in-the-know fashion is here to stay, and Lawrence's look further proves this point. What's more, many of the actress' recent outfits have featured items from The Row, a fashion brand owned by the Olsen twins. Kendall Jenner and Sofia Richie Grainge are other A-listers who frequently wear the brand, which is known for being incredibly chic and extremely expensive.
We are all about investing in pieces worth having forever, but it is probably not practical for most to spend $1,000 on a basic button-down. That said, we scoured the Internet for similar items from other minimalist brands that weren't quite as pricey. To get her look, start by buying the basics, a crisp button-down and pants. To get Lawrence's stealth wealth casual style, here are the items we picked out.
