Structured silhouettes do all the hard work this spring with gently tailored pieces in business-friendly neutrals; the season can’t just be about florals and floaty dresses. Lighter fabrics and sleeveless styles also extend into summer. If the warmer days of December still seem too far away, layer above a white shirt or turtleneck until it’s time to bare arms. Oroton belted shell top, $299.

Make the transition from boots and sneakers into lighter styles without going full flip-flop. Birkenstock clogs are enjoying a revival that takes them out of the health-food store and onto the street-style pages. The footwear classic is perfect for feeling the spring breeze without revealing pale winter toes. Birkenstock “Boston Big Buckle” clogs, $326.
