If you’ve been paying any sort of attention to Jennifer Lawrence’s style lately, you’ll notice that she’s slowly but surely become our muse. Lawrence has really strengthened her sense of style by shifting away from the bold prints and colorful items she wore earlier in her career, and now she is seen on a nearly daily basis running around the streets of New York City in luxe staples and cool accessories that put the Olsens to shame.

Watching her style transform before her eyes has had me thinking about the future of my own wardrobe, and luxe staples are at the top of my list right now. Below, find the eight luxe staples I’m currently scrambling to buy.

1. Tailored Vests
