Get the Look: Blake Lively

The boyfriend blazer is so hot right now. Last week Blake Lively was spotted in New York styled out in the perfect way to wear it.

It's important to balance out the masculine nature of the blazer with something ultra-feminine, like patterned tights and knee-high boots!

I did a little scouting around and found out Blake's boots are by Chinese Laundry. While they are no longer available in gray, they do have a similar boot in that color. I went ahead and put a whole outfit together to show how easy it is to get this look.

Pick out an extra-long blazer, like this from Top Shop for $125.

Forever 21 has great boyish shorts. These are just $19.80.

And then there are the patterned tights, the must-have item of the season. You can find them on mytights.com for $20.43.

And some Chinese Laundry boots $119 complete the outfit.

Blake, we love your style!
