The Cool-Girl Way to Wear a Dress Right Now

'Tis the season for layering, and that extends to occasion pieces as well. If you've temporarily relegated your LBD to the back of your closet, consider reaching for it once again. With the addition of a crisp button-down shirt, the classic dress is given a winter-appropriate spin.

As seen here on Yara Shahidi, the two timeless wardrobe staples look effortless and elegant when worn together. In addition to providing more coverage, the effect is decidedly more forward. Paired with sky-high pointed-toe boots, the outfit will take you from daytime appointments to drinks with friends in no time.
