A knotted top makes all the difference when it comes to styling your spring separates. It’s as simple as pairing a well-fitted, neutral-colored cotton T-shirt with a slim skirt in a sturdier fabric. The non-fussy nature of the top will balance the formality of a pencil skirt, giving you an effortlessly chic vibe. Celebs such as Kim Kardashian, Kelly Rowland and Kirsten Dunst demonstrate how to rock this trend for drastically different occasions.

Kardashian’s best known for her sexy, skin-baring styles, and this outfit shows just the right amount to send tongues wagging. To balance out the tight-fitting ensemble, she sticks to a simple color palette and minimal accessories. Her neutral strappy sandals elongate her petite, curvy figure and tie the look together. Imitate this va-va-voom look for a sexy date night and prepare to turn heads.

Tired of wearing yoga pants to run errands? Kirsten Dunst offers a comfy-yet-chic outfit option that travels well on the weekends—think brunch, the museum, drinks, etc. This look also works great for casual Fridays when showing up in jeans and sneaks may be too laid back. Opt for a vibrant satchel and funky sunglasses to make the low-key ensemble pop.

Excited to show off the results of your spinning class? Then Kelly Rowland’s edgy take on the trend is perfect for you. She opts for a higher knot to show off just enough of her killer abs. (Note she does not show her belly button, which keeps the look elevated.) By matching the olive top with a leather skirt and metallic pumps, she makes it polished enough for the red carpet. This is perfect for a night out dancing with the girls.
