With spring comes a fresh crop of clothes to consider, but sometimes, it’s just one wear-everywhere dress that’ll get you through the season—and the next. For Eve Jobs, a heritage-inspired patchwork piece from Ralph Lauren goes from horsey to haute. See her pair it with Prada’s of-the-moment bucket, or a more Western-tinged felt hat from Gucci. With straps sprayed with floral details and a body made up of collaged textiles (meek meadowy prints intermingle with gingham squares), the look is prairie with polish. With the help of some key accessories, note how one dress can go in five different directions.
Hat Trick
Working at cross-purposes sometimes yields surprising delights. Jobs tops it all off with a raffia bucket hat courtesy of Prada.
High Country
Consider dressing up a dress that’s steeped in Americana with the simplicity of white suiting—for instance, Chloé’s crisp jacket and trousers. For shoes, Jobs does Marina Moscone’s menswear-inspired loafers.
It’s a Cinch
Jobs adds to the vintage-feeling textures with a bit of a statement accessory. More corset than belt, this Sportmax piece snaps together to add a little something extra.
On the Fence
On top, a wide-brimmed Gucci hat. On the bottom, kicky Salvatore Ferragamo combat boots. Somewhere in between, a Zimmermann tuxedo jacket. It all lends a little edge—and a little more down-home flair—to Jobs’s look.
Saddle Up
Here, Jobs hitches a ride in her own Parlanti boots—because in this case, a great dress looks just as good when left untouched.
