Be a Buddy Comedy Babe in
Rashida Jones’ I Love You, Man-inspired Looks

Paul Rudd and Jason Segel
may be the main dynamic duo behind the new buddy comedy I Love You, Man, but
let’s not forget to give credit where credit is due. As Zooey, Rudd’s
well-meaning fiancée, Rashida Jones lights up the screen in a covetable
collection of laid-back but totally stylish outfits, heavy on the striped
cardigans and colorful tees. Read on for details on how to score look-alike
fashions for your own closet.
Kick things off with a
sleeveless yellow collared blouse worn under a taupe and white striped
cardigan, just like Rashida wears in the film. Our picks:
Ann Taylor LOFT’s Sleeveless Ruffle Button Front Shirt in snapdragon
yellow, paired with
White + Warren’s Buckwheat Striped Cashmere Cardigan or
Gap’s Striped Boyfriend Cardigan.
Next, try blending a plain
oatmeal-hued cardigan (like
J.Crew’s Merino Crewneck Cardigan in beechwood) with a check-print top
and a cheery coral-red skirt. Try
Milly’s Bobble Chain Skirt or
Banana Republic’s Pleated Knit Skirt. On the shirt front, we like
Sunner’s Park Top and
Anna Sui for Anthropologie’s Cabana Camisole.
Rashida also wears a fun
array of colorful graphic tees, from a bird-emblazoned navy top paired with
a red cardigan to a quirky Florida tee worn with a navy and white striped
cardigan. Get the look in
Delia’s Chaser Peace Dove tee and
New York & Company’s red City Style Twinset Cardigan, or go for
Almightee’s Florida Bites tee and
Hayden’s V-Neck Cotton-Cashmere Cardigan in navy.
To complete your I Love You,
Man transformation, slip on your favorite jeans (this look is all about
being comfortable and not trying too hard). Keep your makeup warm but
natural, with soft, tawny eye shadow, brown eyeliner and mascara, a light,
summery touch of bronzer, and a pretty kick of rosy-pink lipgloss. Whether
or not you have face-framing bangs like Rashida, you can keep your locks
from being too fussy by putting them back in a ponytail, or letting them
fall loosely against your shoulders. In other words, ditch the Chi. Et
voila! You’ve got the cool and carefree style down pat—minus the Paul Rudd,
of course.
