We know, we know: Your first thought when you see a structured coral-pink dress is to reach for your strappy heels. But we’re switching things up—by day, we’re styling our elegant dresses with neutral sneakers for looks that feel a little more street style, not to mention much more modern. Does your office (or favorite restaurant) end up unfathomably cold thanks to A/C with a mind of its own? We feel you. Layer in a tissue-weight turtleneck for an ultra-light layer that doesn’t mess with the shape of the structured dress. The magic really happens, though, when you stack gold chain necklaces over the turtleneck for an elegant touch we love juxtaposed with sporty shoes in this pretty shade. It’s all in the details, friends.

Baby blue is a definite thing right now—which is why we’re hunting it down in the form of extra-polished pieces we can wear to the office. Complement your Converse Chuck Taylor® All Stars® with a light crew-neck dress, layering on crisp white pants and a blazer to make your casual Friday looks feel polished but weekend-ready. Finally, matching your accessories is a win here: Keep the pastel-blue shades coming with a structured bag to top off the look.

Honestly, we’ll take any excuse to wear these Chiara Ferragni-designed One Star Platforms. And what looks better with sparkly platform sneakers than more metallics? Go full-metallic with your accessories, too, stacking bangles on your wrist and tucking a metallic-detail clutch under your arm—even the shirting can add to the silver party.
