One thing we love about warmer weather is the ease of dressing. That “one and done” of putting on a dress, adding shoes and accessories and you’re out the door. While there’s much to love about getting dressed in the cooler months (cozy sweaters! chunky boots!) that ease of dressing isn’t the same…is it?
We decided to take that as a challenge and find dresses (and one jumpsuit) that can simplify getting dressed now. These are all safe-for-work but also appropriate for social events. We kept them simple so you can add a blazer one day and a sweater the next. And of course they’re all from brands we trust to be better for the planet. So choose one to be your version of the black turtleneck –only cuter!
