Salma Hayek’s Cropped Jacket Is Ideal for Summer Nights — and We Found Similar Styles Under $40

I’m a sucker for a good rom-com — Fools Rush In included. But lately, the only fool around here is me; I’ve been sleeping on Salma Hayek’s style blueprint. 

On Friday, the actress, 57, wore a ​​’fit that I am, unironically, rushing to wear: She kept things mostly monochrome with breezy black pants and a fuss-free crossbody bag by her side. For a little sprinkle of color, she covered up in a cropped army green jacket, a practical choice for when there’s an evening breeze, but still was on target for spring and summer thanks to its short length. It also looked snazzier than a distressed denim jacket. 

Hayek’s free-flowing bottoms looked comfortable enough to wear before and after eating a big meal — a fashion rule I take very seriously — and they’re simply an “It” style right now. Plus, other celebs including Courteney Cox and Taylor Swift, are all about the hands-free purse, another trendy element this outfit has.

Salma Hayek’s Outfit Blueprint 

Tankaneo Cropped Zip-Up Jacket

Even though I believe that mixing lighter fabrics with heavier pieces, like linen and wool, makes for an outfit that’s really cool to look at, I’m not a big fan of suede (which is what hers looks like) in the summer. I’d much rather go for a cotton choice, like this jacket, which is under $40. 

It cuts off higher than a blazer or full-length bomber jacket, and it’s got deep pockets for those days when even carrying a compact crossbody seems too laborious. The drawstring waist also deserves a medal since it can accentuate my figure even when wearing more voluminous bottoms like a tiered maxi skirt. 

Funyyzo Wide-Leg Pants

It looks like Hayek’s pants might be more straight-legged, but the roomier and looser, the better. This style is the top seller in the Women’s Wear to Work Pants and Capris category at Amazon, and according to shoppers, is similar to pants you’d find at Abercrombie & Fitch, Aritzia, and American Eagle. They’re available in multiple lengths and sizes XS to XL.

Summer is the season for traveling, and I always carry a crossbody bag when I’m heading through an airport. Not only do I feel a greater sense of security when walking around, but it’s also way more comfortable than adjusting a slippery sweaty bag strap all the time. I also always keep a crossbody bag inside my carry-on — I’ll put my regularly reached-for items in there, so it’s easy to find my headphones, chargers, and snacks on the plane.
