Intuition is in! Perfect for changeable weather and spring dressing, we’ve rounded up six transeasonal looks that eschew the rules, celebrate pick-and-mix dressing for your mood, and solve some wardrobe dilemmas – whether it’s how to wear a slinky slip on a cooler day, or what to do with that additional sweater (other than stuff it in your handbag).

2/6
A jumpsuit is a one-and-done wardrobe addition for those days when making a decision is just too hard. Feeling particularly sassy? Add don’t-mess-with-me accessories.

3/6
Akin to an emotional safety blanket, a puffer jacket might be just the thing you need to stay warm and block out bad vibes.
Quite possibly the most daunting silhouette of the runway season was micro-length bottoms paired with over-the-knee boots. Feeling playful? Dive head first into this ‘60s throwback. Add opaque tights and a slouchy coat for a demure take.

From Knitwear sweater, $279, and cardigan (worn over shoulders), $449. Ruby jeans, $199. Flaming Peach earrings, $19. Isabel Marant Étoile bag, $898, from Workshop. Ruby belt, $75. Mi Piaci boots, $340.
