Knowing how to dress for days that begin in the high 40s and peak in the 80s can be challenging, but that has been the weather forecast for the past few weeks in New York City. Days that start in jeans and a sweater might end in tank tops and sandals, or vice versa. Either way, there's one essential we're grabbing before we step out for the day: a stylish jacket.
This week, Penelope Cruz was spotted in TriBeCa enjoying an iced coffee perfectly paired with a shearling jacket. Honestly, we can't think of a better combo to reflect the confusing weather this fall. Worn with sneakers, a graphic t-shirt, and straight-leg jeans, this outfit is extremely casual for the star known for her radiant red carpet looks. But thanks to the versatile shearling jacket (and matching Gucci bag!), it feels worthy of an A-lister's wardrobe.

If, like me, you're growing tired of denim-on-denim but need something a little more stylish than a barn jacket, try one of the many faux-shearling jackets available right now. We love the cognac color of Cruz's jacket but also have our eyes on darker browns and black leather styles, too. Either way, it's a great option for dressing up those fall outfits that need a little something—at least until it's time to bust out the puffer coats.
