Opt for a breezy, silky sundress with a simple silhouette, and choose accessories that add polish, structure, and even some softness.
We've whipped up a pre-summer primer for you, crafting three perfect outfits for your 9-to-5 drill that are still light and cool enough for a sweaty commute. Read on for the genius styling tricks that will triple your wardrobe's potential way before it gets hot and humid out.
Look 1: Cute and Comfy
Topping your go-to sundress with a cozy cardigan is a no-brainer for chilly spring days. Here, a classic ivory cardigan and braided leather belt make the dress look polished and pretty, while leopard flats introduce a fun pop of pattern. A geometric clutch and earrings add just the right amount of structural edge to an otherwise ultra-femme look.
