Is winter over yet? *Looks pleadingly toward the sky.* In anticipation of spring, we're introducing dresses to our wardrobe that will carry us through the seasons ahead. As the weather begins to warm up, we'll (joyfully) strip off the layers.

Associate Fashion Editor Alanna lives in black tights during winter and spring and counts them as a key way to winterize her favorite dresses. Her go-to tights are Commando's Ultimate Opaque Matte  because she can count on them to take her look up a notch while keeping her legs warm. As much as she would love to be sun-kissed in a slinky spaghetti-strap slip dress, she also loves layering a crisp white tee underneath for warmth. And on days that require a little more warmth, you'll just about always find her layering a black fitted turtleneck underneath an array of styles. It adds a sophisticated, sleek touch that always works. Play around with your look by adding and subtracting articles of clothing during the season's transition. Sometimes for warmth, sometimes for fashion. For example, pair a wrap dress with J. Crew's Contrast Ribbed Turtleneck. And a classic jean jacket is a timeless staple that pairs with fancy and formal looks, just as well as it does with casual and basic outfits.
