Their versatility knows no bounds, either—no matter the neckline or sleeve length, odds are you can tie on a belt, throw on a leather or denim jacket, and style with flats, raffia wedges, or platform sandals. Don't sweat the length if it's a little too long; there's nothing quite like a floor-kissing hem to give you that main-character energy as you look both ways while crossing the street.

If you're constantly asking WWSND ("What Would Stevie Nicks Do?") the answer is always pair leather with lace. The whimsigoth queen perhaps meant that metaphorically, but we're being quite literal. Bridging from last year's slip dress trend, we're adding a layer of grunge to the classic feminine piece in the form of heavy boots and/or a leather jacket. Snag outfit ideas from #balletcore or #ballerinasleaze, or the Miu Miu spring-summer 2023 show arrivals (we're still sweating from this Cindy Bruna masterpiece) for something more polished. PS: If you're looking for celeb inspo, Alexa Chung has walked these roads for literal years.
