These Spring Essentials Will Take the Guilt Out of Shopping
Five years ago, O, The Oprah Magazine partnered with Talbots to create a capsule collection and give a portion of net proceeds to Dress for Success, an organization that has helped nearly one million women in more than 150 cities and 27 countries achieve economic independence by offering resources to help them enter the workforce. Because giving back is always in style, we've continued the collaboration every year since.
To date, the collaboration has raised over $6.9 million and helped roughly 140,000 women. "The partnership with Talbots and O, The Oprah Magazine has been an amazing five-year success story," says Joi Gordon, CEO of Dress for Success Worldwide. "It has allowed us to further our global mission to help women reach their full potential."
For 2020, we're celebrating women, with activist Maria Shriver and five other changemakers showing off the latest pieces.
This year's collection features five oh-so-versatile cardigans, and O's creative director Adam Glassman tells you how to rock them all, below. The cardigans will be available online and in Talbots stores nationwide on February 18. You can also give by dropping off new or nearly new work-appropriate clothing and accessories at a Talbots stores February 20-23.
Cardis For a Cause
Cozied Up
I see this belted style as a comfy topper over a soft floral dress or with a tank and jeans. It's also perfect to warm you up on a plane ride.
Bottom Lines
Thanks to some extra length (tush coverage!), this is a great piece for the office when paired with trousers, a dress, or a skirt. The blouson sleeve with bow detailing makes it feel special.
Making Waves
Sure it's perfect with an LBD, but try buying a size smaller to wear in lieu of a blouse with a pencil skirt or jeans. Bonus: The wide black band at the bottom gives the illusion of a smaller waist.
Floral Arrangement
This is such a happy cardigan—with a silk front, it has a feminine and modern sportif feel. I love it over a white shirt or as a top under a blazer. You could also put it over a dress and button just the top button.
Gym Buddy
I call this the coming-and-going cardi. Wear it to the gym to cover your workout clothes; afterward, throw it over your outfit and head to lunch.
