The most stylish women [1] know that great outfits don't have to be complicated — in fact, often enough they're as easy as slipping on one key piece.

This once-beloved '90s staple [2] is making a contemporary comeback with cool girls and trendsetting celebs (and they're all over your Instagram), who've outfitted the look with everything from duster coats (we're looking at you, Kim Kardashian [3]) to sandals and booties. Long story short, this dress may just be the best investment you make in your transitional, wear-everywhere, everyday wardrobe. Need we say more?
