Brown cardigan with brown shoes, or brown leather jacket with brown shoes.

Nude - Nude.

For a sophisticated and non-nautical vibe don't do white, black, navy blue, pink or red. You can also go with teal, green - but keep it in the same hue as the bright blue stripes.

Pink, red, lavender, purple, yellow can make it youthful and fun also - but you have to experiment and see how it looks.


Oh also make sure that the shoes and cardigan are solid colors. Already the dress has too much going for it....

I don't think a white blazer is a great idea for spring break.

I think this pashmina is the best so far.

I know you said that's too casual but the dress is casual.


+1

Or a bright orange cardigan if you can pull it off.

Where are you going that you can wear a summer dress? And what shoes are you planning to wear?

If you don’t want to do navy, I would do an emerald or lime green, either a pashmina or cardigan. Light pink could also work. Try Ann Taylor, J Crew, Boden, Banana, or Gap. Halogen at Nordstroms too.

Search Macy's cardigan sweats. They have a lot of all different weights. Lots of perfect weight for early spring.

What about leaning into the nautical vibe with a cream rope knot cardigan?

Navy doesn’t work because the stripes in the dress aren’t navy—they are a bright blue. It clashes. Trust me, I tried.

That’s why I’m wondering if a bright pink might work.


I still think navy is the best. The problem is the dress is inherently hard to wear without looking like you’re in a rendition of Show Boat because it’s just too nautical. The colors are fine.

The belt is literally a rope. It’s like a greige color.

The cut is nice, but cream won’t go with the dress. The stripes are white (bright white) and a bright blue (not navy).

And that’s why I’m struggling to find something that will work.


I noted that too but it looks like the belt is cream from the pic.

Try this. Problem that anything in white, is generally a thin synthetic fabric so it can look really cheap.https://www.nordstrom.com/s/eliza-j-bolero-cardigan/4073009?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&breadcrumb=Home%2FAll%20Results&color=100

I would not use a contrast collar like pink. Maybe brown if it matches your shoes.
