A few sneaky ways to wear your spring frocks NOW

By Connie Wang

There are few things in the world that make us feel as lovely as springtime frocks do, and — trust us — we really need to get that feeling back while we're in the depths of winter. It's not too early to dig 'em out from the back of your closet; with a few clever layering ideas, your spring dresses will make an easy transition into your winter wardrobe. Just remember…you have to wear tights.

With A Long Cardigan — We love how cozy a knit cardigan looks with a springtime dress. A long, bum-grazing length makes for an interesting silhouette and keeps your body looking long. Also? Tights. Don't forget them.

With Over-The-Knee Boots — Show off your boots (and your dress!) with a '60s-style combo. Make sure your dress is on the boxy side to balance out the sassiness of those boots.

Colorblocked With A Sweater — If your dress is already comprised of large blocks of color, just throw it on over a solid-colored, lightweight sweater. Don't forget your tights!

The Anti-Prom — Your frothy, tulle-draped dresses can be dressed down with a few, casual layers. Rock them with some sophisticated boots, and — don't forget your tights!
