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

In a recent Instagram clip promoting her “The Life You Want” class series, Oprah is seen interviewing Tyler Perry while wearing a long dress with long sleeves, one of our favorite dress styles for the unpredictable weather of transitional seasons. Winfey’s beige and white dress had a button-up design with a preppy collar, which she paired with sleek white booties.

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

We 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 was its ribbed knit material, which is warm but not bulky, so it easily layers under coats and jackets. This similar, ankle-length design with long sleeves provides great coverage for this time of year, and the pointed collar gives off the retro preppy vibe Katie Holmes has been sporting. The button-up silhouette means you can bundle up or make it more breathable. Snag it in a khaki color that’s similar to Oprah’s dress or nine other shades like green, plum, and black.

Spring is all about florals. Take a page out of Chrissy Teigen’s book and combine two trends with florals and long-sleeve dresses, like this pink floral maxi dress available at Amazon. It has a tiered, A-line skirt that makes it extra flowy and breathable. It has flounced sleeves with a puff shoulder and an elastic cuff that traps heat. And one five-star reviewer called it “comfy and flattering.” You can get it in 30 colors like pink, blue, green, and brown. And it’s on double sale right now using a coupon.

Denim dresses have been popular with so many stars lately, including Lopez, Hilary Duff, and Taylor Swift. This long-sleeve dress comes in a maxi length, plus it has side slits that enhance breathability. The dress has a caftan silhouette with a deep V-neck, an oversized collar, and functional side pockets. You can get it in two washes: medium and dark blue. You can dress it up with booties or dress it down with white sneakers. It’s also machine-washable for an easy clean.

It’s time to start packing away your jeans and grabbing more breathable pieces. Read on for more long-sleeve maxi styles inspired by Oprah.
