9 Mindy Kaling Outfits That Are So Easy to Copy

Just because you prefer a casual weekend look, it doesn’t mean you need to reach for sweats and sneaks. Take a note from Kaling and choose a sweater and backless mules in vibrant hues like cherry red. Just as comfortable as leggings but infinitely more chic.

Turns out plaid and florals are a match made in sartorial heaven. The trick to pulling off Kaling’s print-mixing is to stick to black and white and finish with classic black or gray accessories.

Sure, you could wear your trusty cocktail LBD yet again. But Kaling looks much cooler than your average partygoer in an edgy gold blazer and slim-fit tuxedo pants.

Get your colorblock on by pairing a bright dress with a wide belt in a contrasting shade and voilà! Simple, chic and flattering, all at once.

Take all the guesswork out of outfit planning by throwing on a top and bottom that came together as one stylish set. Keep your accessories simple and structured to avoid looking childish.

Sweater sets might make you think of Jackie O., but we’re obsessed with Kaling’s modern take on the retro trend. Get the look with a large print, then match your shoes or accessories to one of the colors featured.

Get the look: Twin-Set cardigan ($237) and sweater ($258); Wit and Wisdom pants ($68); Calvin Klein heels ($70)

Dealing with a long tunic, like Kaling's Cinq à Sept number? Show some skin up top and pair with body-skimming pants and minimalist sandals. Working with a shorter dress? Try a wide-leg pant or cute chunky heel. 

Get the look: Warehouse tunic dress ($73); Boden pants ($130); Sam Edelman heels ($100)

You may think this dress deserves the spotlight, but we love how Kaling paired it with stark, white heels and an intricately detailed bag for a much more attention-grabbing look.

Worried head-to-toe flowers will make you look like you’re in grade school? Just make sure the outfit is well tailored and pair with one adult, un-printed piece (like this red jacket). Now you look ready to take on the world like the badass woman you are.
