Mindy Kaling makes really good shows and outfits.

In an Instagram post from earlier this week, the Running Point co-creator seemingly greenlighted the functional pants style we’re gearing up to grab for fall. She had on what appeared to be cargo pants with deep, roomy pockets — a detail that Oprah is also majorly keen on — in a deep blue wash that was well suited for fall.

She paired them with a cozy blue sweater and what looks like a pair of Prada loafers for a low-lift yet extremely spiffy getup. Below, recreate her look with similar cargo jeans from Amazon, Nordstrom, and Banana Republic for as little as $35.
