When the first signs of spring start to appear after a long, dreary winter, it’s tempting to box up all your cold-weather clothing and banish it to the far corner of your closet—immediately. A better strategy: Skip the sartorial dramatics and warm up your styling skills to see just how far you can stretch your most-worn winter pieces.
TROUSERS
Pinstripe pants are a tried-and-true winter staple, especially paired with a cozy knit and a glimmer of gold at the ears. Keep them in rotation as temperatures rise by ditching the sweater for a crisp white button-down and swapping your moss-hued hobo for something brighter.

LONG SKIRT
Swishy and feminine with a wrap-style grosgrain waistband, this skirt is utterly versatile: It’s all business with a cardigan and glossy croc-embossed boots peeking out at the hem, and fares just as well on the weekend with a boxy cropped polo and ballet flats.

WHITE JEANS
We’ve long been proponents of white jeans for winter, and the same clean canvas feels especially ripe for spring when topped with a colorful knit (bonus points for a ruffle peeking out at the collar) or a chic evening top with a beautifully gathered hairpin neckline.

LEATHER DRESS
Edgy black leather softens up in the company of the right—or should we say light?—accessories, like a denim jacket and lace-up boots in palate-cleansing cream. And when it warms up? Lose the layer, slip into flats, and finish with chunky gold jewelry.
