Every year, we swear that we'll invest in pieces to get us through those difficult weeks that call for transitional dressing. You know the days we’re talking about—a chilly morning, followed by rising temperatures around lunchtime, all topped off with afternoon showers. But just as soon as we get a tiny glimpse of that warm weather, we're already stocking our online carts with breezy dresses perfect for spring and summer days (and fully abandoning that “transitional dressing” plan).
This year, we've formulated a new method to survive the in-between season—and that's wearing our new springtime dresses over pants.
Now, hear us out on this one. We know this may seem like a hard look to nail, but in reality, it’s a breeze. Need an outfit to take you from the office to happy hour? We recommend pairing your frock with a slim leg pant. For a more casual look, you can’t go wrong with skinny jeans coupled with your new slip dress. And with sheer pieces being all the rage right now, we love a tulle number layered with our favorite vintage Levi’s.
Whenever you're ready to tackle this trick, you can shop our foolproof pairings below, covering everyone from sporty tomboys to sleek minimalists...
