There's something about the turn of the season that makes me immediately assess my footwear selection – and Natalie Portman has just offered the perfect inspiration for a fall outfit idea. In New York, on the set of Good Sex, Portman wore relaxed sweatpants, a simple white t-shirt, and some of the best UGG Tasman lookalikes from Californian company Bearpaw.
UGG Tasman's have been everywhere in passing seasons, cementing their place as some of the best slippers to invest in, and a footwear choice that's versatile enough to wear out and about. Whilst I love the original, they aren't the most affordable footwear staple, which is why Natalie's shearling slip-ons are a fall must-have – and one of the best designer lookalikes I've spotted in recent weeks.
Portman wears the Bearpaw Women's Tabitha Loafer, which features a soft wool lining, suede exterior, and a light rubber sole. What's also great about this style is that they not only will they keep your feet cozy, they will also pair effortlessly with other staples from your fall capsule closet.
If you're wondering how to style UGGs or similar clog silhouettes, the Tasman or slip-on styles work surprisingly well for everyday wear. Consider finishing off your white jeans outfits with them, or take a note of Portman's relaxed attire. Soft sweatpants and a simple t-shirt will work for running errands, just pop your favorite cardigan over top for an extra layer of warmth.
