Yet, while it's still impossible to pull this Fairy Godmother-like move, fashion has gotten pretty innovative over the past few years. Metamorphosis clothing is currently having a moment, AKA pieces that feature zippers, buttons, or extra layers, which help the wearer quickly transform their look. I'm a Fashion Editor, and These 11 Trends Are the Secret to All My Fall Outfits For '90s and '00s kids, this particular quick-change trick might not feel very new; we've already lived through the days of snap-off pants and American Apparel circle scarves (which some swore could be styled as a dress). But in 2021, convertible clothing feels a bit more elevated and fun. The trend has even expanded into accessories, with purses that turn into backpacks and hoops that become drop earrings.

One item can be worn as both. So, if you're looking for a way to double your wardrobe — without adding clutter or overspending — we've rounded up our favorite transformative pieces from around the Internet.
