Oprah’s Long-Sleeve Maxi Dress Is a Practical Pick for Spring You Probably Don’t Have Yet

From Chrissy Teigen’s lightweight jacket to Katie Holmes’ split-hem pants, stars are starting to transition their wardrobes from winter to spring—and Oprah just wore one of our favorite mid-season styles.

In a recent clip on Instagram promoting her “The Life You Want” class series, Oprah is seen interviewing Tyler Perry while wearing a long sleeved maxi dress, one of our favorite dressing styles for the unpredictable weather of the changing seasons. Winfey’s beige and white dress featured a button-up design with a fancy collar, which she paired with elegant white boots.

Long-sleeved maxi dresses are a reliable choice for transitioning between seasons in style—we saw A-listers like Jennifer Lopez and Kate Middleton wear them last fall, and we’re sure Oprah won’t be the last star we see long-sleeved maxi dresses this spring.

We’ve found affordable long-sleeve midi and maxi dresses from Amazon, Banana Republic, Everlane, Nordstrom, Abercrombie, Lulu’s and more—starting at just $40.

Another detail that made Oprah’s dress great for spring is the ribbed knit, which is warm but not bulky, making it easy to layer under coats and jackets. This similar ankle-length design with long sleeves provides excellent coverage for this time of year, and the pointed collar gives off the retro preppy vibe that Katie Holmes is wearing. The button-up silhouette means you can tuck it in or make it more airy. Get it in a khaki color similar to Oprah’s dress or nine other shades like green, plum and black.

Spring is all about flowers. Take a page from Chrissy Teigen’s book and combine the two trends with floral and long-sleeved dresses, like this pink floral maxi dress available on Amazon.

And one five-star reviewer called it “comfortable and flattering.” You can get it in 30 colors like pink, blue, green and brown. And right now it’s on double action with the use of coupons.
