Spring Fashion: 6 Winter Pieces Reinvented for Warmer Weather

While a cozy knit is a winter must, it's also an essential transition piece. When temps start to rise, copy Jamie Chung and partner it with a floral mini. Roll up the sleeves to ace that effortlessly stylish look.

To master print mixology, pair oversize prints, like this chunky-stripe HampM sweater ($35; hm.com), with minute details like the florals on this J.Crew skirt ($98; jcrew.com).

Traditionally, plaid is for casual fall-ready ensembles, but Olivia Palermo reworked hers for spring. Follow her lead and ground an otherwise too-formal skirt with a flannel top.

To avoid a discordant look, make sure your top (R13, $395; lagarconne.com) and your skirt (Rag amp Bone, $165; rag-bone.com) share similar shades.

Don't store your turtleneck away just yet. Follow Chloe Grace Moretz's lead and layer the cozy piece under your sleeveless springtime dress. Genius!

For a more spring-appropriate look, ditch the black as much as you can. We turned to lighter shades for both the turtleneck (Zara, $37; zara.com) and the dress (Shoshanna, $295; bloomingdales.com).

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley translated her love for leather bottoms from season to season, trading in her sweater for a breezy blouse (and worked in her favorite animal print along the way).

For you leopard-print lovers, go for this Rebecca Taylor top ($265; matchesfashion.com) and pair it with faux-leather, like these Zara pants ($50; zara.com).

Miranda Kerr reinterpreted her dark maxi skirt for hotter climates by pairing it with a fun tie-dye tee-a clear, playful nod toward summertime fun.

Look for maxis with a slit for ventilation and to show off your sexy legs. This Modern Citizen skirt ($49; modern-citizen.com) has both. A laid-back tie-dye tee, like this Raquel Allegra top ($166; otteny.com) stops your look from bordering on scandalous.

To avoid overheating, leave the jacket (River Island, $110; riverisland.com) unzipped and go for a strapless dress (Fashion Union, $31; fashionunion.com) underneath.
