Transitional dressing doesn’t mean you have to give yourself a headache every morning while you’re putting yourself together. These nice frocks will do the heavy lifting for you. Just throw them on with a little denim jacket, trusty anorak, or even a sleek raincoat to make yourself look pulled together without seeming like you tried too hard. Or even barely! See our picks in the gallery.
