If yesterday’s blazer-only experiment left you confused on how to appropriately pair separates, welcome, walk with us. A neatly-packaged, one-piece shift is the easiest piece of clothing right after a free oversized t-shirt—and you can wear it out in public. What's great is that they strike the ideal balance between skimpy and conservative: perfect for every occasion.

  1. Zara Dress With Flap Pockets : The white dress is as multipurpose as its black counterpart, as long as you don't lean or sit on dirty surfaces. Long lines, high pockets, and exaggerated sleeves will seem particularly flattering when you need to get ready in five minutes flat.

  2. Trademark Welby Shift: The shift you always think you’ll discover vintage shopping but never do—except this one's brand new, just waiting for you to click “Add To Cart.”

  3. Coach Printed Silk Crepe de Chine Mini Dress : This flippant attitude toward mixing prints (plus hidden pockets!) confirms that Coach did, in fact, get cooler.

  4. Current/Elliott The Shift Denim Dress : Ever wish you could crawl entirely into your favorite pair of jeans? If the answer is, “yes—100 percent.” enjoy the preceding hyperlink.

  5. 3.1 Phillip Lim Patchwork Dress : Between the margins of its slim profile, this dress squeezes in a neoprene upper, mesh shoulder area, rippled seam, and digital animal print. Looks like you can have it all.
