Take all the guess work out of chic layering with this easy wrap dress that gives the illusion of a vest layered over a pleated skirt. The sharp tailoring up top and midi length on the bottom make this a great option for in-office days or times you want to dress to impress. That said, swapping in some silver slingbacks and a pair of sparkly earrings are all you need to transform your look to something a bit more party ready.

Introducing the chicest joggers you’ve ever worn. The wide-leg silhouette and gently heathered color feel more like a true trouser than casual pants, but the drawstring waist and super-soft material provide maximum comfort.

Take a walk on the wild side with these buckled ballet flats. The double buckle and calf-hair leopard spots add some edge to the dainty shoe silhouette.
