Forget Tank Tops—Elle Fanning Knows This Transitional Basic Looks Better With Spring's Biggest Skirt Trend
In New York, it's currently fool's spring, which is what we call it when it's randomly beautiful at the beginning of March. Those of us who have lived here for our whole lives, though, know better: This is just a temporary blissful blip. The weather is already getting a little bit colder, and it won't be reliably spring until at least late March. But still, it's fun to start pulling out our springiest pieces and seeing who we'll be without our puffer coats and snow boots. It's also a great time to plan.
Elle Fanning recently stepped out in Los Angeles wearing an ideal transitional outfit that I'm personally excited to recreate in a couple of weeks.
Fanning wore a yellow sheer skirt with a cute, fitted white cardigan, both of which had small floral embellishments. She styled the look with a white top-handle bag and a pair of ballet slippers. What I love most about the look is how it's a little warm up top and sunshine on the bottom. She combined two of the most versatile pieces from both seasons and made them work for the in-between time.
Sheer skirts, in general, are also sometimes a little tricky to style, especially when it isn't hot enough to opt for a tank top, which feels like its ideal match. Honestly, though, Fanning made me realize a cardigan might look even better. It's a little unexpected and helps the skirt feel more casual for day-to-day. It's perfect to wear for all kinds of spring—both fleeting and real.
