Jessica Alba Wore One of Hollywood’s Go-To Uniforms with the Stylish Hat I Want to Try

Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and build them back up, piece by piece. 

It’s no secret that matching sets are taking over Hollywood — everyone from Jennifer Lopez to Priyanka Chopra has been wearing the no-fuss style lately. But Jessica Alba just wore the trend in a way I haven’t even considered.

In a recent Instagram post, the actress wore a sleeveless vest matching set, which is not only stylish, but it’s also so practical for this time of year. The button-up design also gives it a preppy vibe, which I’ve been a fan of lately. She styled it with an oversized fedora hat, which is a stylish alternative to traditional straw styles.

I love wearing matching sets because you can look put together without putting too much thought into your outfit. Plus, you can mix and match the pieces with other items in your closet. 

If you already have a matching set but want something more elegant, consider adding one of these Alba-inspired two-piece vest sets to your wardrobe — they start at $43.

Cicy Bell 2-Piece Pant Suit

If you’re a fan of Alba’s sleeveless pantsuit, this Amazon option is a similar style that combines multiple trends. The top comes with a V-neck design and has buttons running down the front. The pants are one of my go-to summer styles thanks to their wide, breezy silhouette that enhances airflow. And the set is patterned with soft stripes for a seasonal look.

Prettygarden 2-Piece Vest Set

You can make the trend even more breathable with this set by Prettygarden. It includes the trendy sleeveless vest style that Alba is a fan of, plus matching white shorts that stars like Reese Witherspoon have been spotted in. I like how the shorts have pleats to make them more spacious and conceal lines, and the top is slightly oversized for a comfortable fit. In addition to white, you can also get the set in 12 colors like blue, pink, and beige.

Jingsha Wide Brim Fedora Hat

Hats are a no-brainer when the sun is blazing. I haven’t considered pulling out an oversized fedora, but Alba makes it look very stylish. This similar-looking option has a wide brim that shades more of your face and neck. It’s even machine-washable and has an adjustable interior strap. “The inside adjustment enables it so that it doesn't fly off on a windy day,” one reviewer wrote. 

Vest sets inspired by Alba are going to be one of my new go-to styles. Secure yours and a fedora by shopping more lookalikes below.
