It's already been quite the year for Jennifer Lopez. From being awarded the Video Vanguard Award, to getting engaged to former Yankee Alex Rodriguez, the longtime entertainment mogul is undeniably thriving. And when she isn't ruling the red carpet in couture gowns or dressed to the nines while hitting the stage, Jennifer Lopez's street style consistently enjoys its own shining moments.

It's no secret the dance icon frequents the gym, so she's often spotted leaving a workout session and then going about her day dressed in head-to-toe activewear. And while Lopez's fitness getups are great inspiration for how to look chic at the gym and beyond, the Second Act star knows how to clean up when on-the-go.

With a unique ability to infuse a clean, polished outfit with hints of her New York roots, the Bronx native's style is a prime example of classic sophistication meets laid-back comfort. Spring is officially here, so it's a prime time to borrow inspiration from the bombshell's relaxed but refined street style. Ahead, shop the staples that define it.
