Kelly Clarkson’s Knit Dress Reminds Us of the Practical Style Oprah Wears Between Seasons

Celebrities are already getting their closets ready for fall, and they’re not giving up dresses quite yet — instead, they’re opting for ones with practical details to sustain cooler temperatures.

Take Kelly Clarkson’s recent look on The Kelly Clarkson Show, for instance: She wore a long-sleeve dress with a row of buttons while pictured beside Scarlett Johansson. The dress appeared to be made of a lightweight knit fabric and had patch pockets and a preppy collar. 

Long-sleeve dresses are ideal for between-season dressing because they keep the arms covered for additional warmth. Plus, you can layer them under coats and even wear them with tights once temperatures really start to dip. Oprah wore a similar style in February, further proving it’s a good transitional staple.

Keep reading for long-sleeve dresses like the one seen on Clarkson from Amazon, Nordstrom, and Spanx to wear in the weeks to come — prices start at $23.
