While we reserve the right to dress down on our days off, we'd rather not succumb to our sweats when venturing outdoors. We're looking for something easy and effortlessly cool - and we're getting exactly what we want in Eva Mendes's latest look. The actress styled up a take on lighter denim that toes the line between pulled-together and totally laid-back. Bonus points: this outfit provides a mix of pieces you likely already have on hand in your closet, like a white V-neck t-shirt and long cardigan. But what makes it more eye-catching than your average jeans-and-tee combo is the attention to detail.

We've rounded up all the key pieces below; just shop them to get the look.
