In Dr. Seuss's "The Lorax," the Once-ler says a thneed — which is a knitted garment that can be used as anything from a shirt to a sock to a pillow to a hat — is "a-fine-something-that-all-people-need." As convenient and practical as the Truffula Tree-made piece would be in the real world, I have unfortunately yet to find something with the same variety of use.

However, when I saw this convertible dress from Saint Art, it felt like the next best thing.

Saint Art Emory Convertible Pinstripe Dress, $210 (from $310), <a href="https://saintartnewyork.com/collections/holiday-22/products/emory-convertible-dress-pinstripe" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:available here;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">available here</a> (sizes XS-XL)<p>Photo: Courtesy of Saint Art</p>

The dress's corset-style bodice allows its wearer to unhook and open into a top. It can also be worn with its straps or without, offering even more styling opportunities.

With dresses over pants making a comeback, this piece is perfect for testing those nostalgic 2010-reminiscent waters. It can transition from an office outfit with a button-down layered underneath to a cocktail party evening ensemble.

With such endless outfit possibilities and its effortlessly chic appearance, there's no reason not to invest in the latest iteration of the beloved thneed.
