She may be best known for playing Hanna Marin, the uber-girly ruffle-clad lady who has never met a frilly pink dress she doesn’t like, but in real life, Ashley Benson is sort of the ultimate cool girl. Her style is far more Hanna-during-her-alcoholic-phase than it is season-one-Hanna. In short, you’re more likely to spot her wearing a cool leather jacket or band tee than you are a cute little sundress.

Ashley always looks amazing but I’m especially loving this cool flannel/leather ensemble. She’s a master of dressing up comfy, casual staples like plaid shirts – the mix of textures here is particularly cool. And the pop of color from her bright bag? Talk about perking up an otherwise dull outfit.
This look is so easy to achieve, especially if you consider the fact that you don’t need to shell out on super expensive genuine leather pants. The faux version will work just fine. Shop our picks below and craft your very own (affordable) version of Ashley’s easy go-to outfit.
