11 Dresses You Can Wear With Or Without Tights

Spring fashion can be a little unpredictable, because the weather can be a lot unpredictable. One week you're wearing cutoff shorts, and the next week (or even day) you're back to bundling up in the puffer jacket you thought you'd put away for at least 8 months. It's enough to give you wardrobe whiplash. That's why versatile closet pieces are a must. Namely, dresses you can wear with or without a jacket — one staple, so may options.

While they may not seem particularly transitional, there are endless ways to style a dress for any occasion and any temperature. Let the dress shine on its own or with a distressed denim vest for warmer temps, and layer it up when it's cold AF (or even just a little chillier than you'd like it to be outside). Cool bombers and leather jackets are great options, or throw the dress over a long-sleeved tee. Oh, and fleece-lined tights are pretty much the greatest innovation in fashion since DVF's wrap dress. Just sayin'.

Stock up with one (or more) of these 11 spring-friendly dresses for any style. With so many ways and places to wear them, they might end up in your rotation all year long.
