Has anyone else forgotten how to dress for warm weather? As soon as temperatures start dropping in the fall, our wardrobe becomes exclusively cozy and covered-up. Dresses? Blouses? Skirts? Never heard of them. Now that spring is less than a month away, it’s time to put some effort back into our ensembles. But since it’s not going to become hot overnight, we need to stick with transitional tops that will help Us bridge the gap between winter and spring.

Since skinny jeans are slowly coming back into style and baggy jeans have never been our jam, we prefer a happy medium with denim. Whether you call them boyfriend jeans, mom jeans or straight-leg jeans, these pants are comfy-chic! And we rounded up 17 transitional tops that pair perfectly with this everyday silhouette. Shop our favorite finds below!

1. Swing into spring in this long-sleeve blouse with smocked bodice. One shopper summed up our sentiment about this lightweight top: “This was SO cute. So flattering. I get so many compliments! It’s such a simple design and just looks so good. Personally I love anything that I don’t have to wear a bra with!” — originally $44, now just $28!
