The youngsters on TikTok like to coin phrases to describe fashion trends, so I'd like to throw my hat in the ring for this one. I'm calling my favorite summer-to-fall transitional outfit combo Miss Honey–core, named after the beloved teacher from the 1996 movie Matilda. It comprises just two pieces: a cardigan and a printed midi dress. How easy is that? 

With a hint of cottagecore and a dash of coastal grandma—and very much in line with J.Crew's revival—Miss Honey–core is my absolute favorite way to style my summery dresses once fall weather starts to creep in. To help illustrate the trend, I searched all over Instagram and ended up striking gold with my findings. Scroll down to see my favorite outfits that embody everyone's favorite fictional teacher and shop the cardigans and printed midi dresses you need to re-create the look.

Erin Fitzpatrick
Senior News Editor

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of senior news editor (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
