If you’re looking for a style icon, you can’t do better than Sarah Jessica Parker, aka Carrie Bradshaw herself. From over-the-top red carpet looks to relatable everyday fashion, Parker rarely misses. For a recent Milan Fashion Week event, she wore a piece that you can easily incorporate into your own spring wardrobe.

Parker’s ribbed sweater dress can be worn with sneakers, knee-high boots, high heels, and basically any other shoe or accessory you have in your closet. Sweater dresses are also a fantastic transitional style for spring: Layer one with a coat and tights for cold days, or wear one on its own for warm days. Quince, Gap, Madewell, and more brands have similar dresses you can shop now, starting at just $41.

Quince Cotton-Cashmere Ribbed Long-Sleeve Crew Midi Dress

Made of cotton, viscose, and cashmere, this crewneck sweater dress has a lettuce hem and slightly flared long sleeves. According to one reviewer, the material is “buttery soft.” The midi dress also has a tie in the back to adjust the fit, whether you prefer it to be looser or more formfitting.

This fitted dress features a buttoned slit down the front for a unique take on a basic sweater dress. The crewneck style is made of a cotton-, nylon-, and spandex-blend that provides enough stretch to ensure it fits comfortably. One shopper noted that the fabric is thick enough to not feel self-conscious, yet not so thick that it gets hot. Another person added that it’s suitable for fall, winter, and spring, making it a great versatile piece for your closet.
