Spring weather sending your style into a spin? Reese Witherspoon’s pointelle jumper and jeans are the answer
The star's fresh take on the classic ensemble is perfect for this time of year


Spring weather is always a little unpredictable but this year it seems to be even more chaotic than usual. One day it's warm and sunny, the next it's cold and rainy again, and the effort to decide between a lighter denim jacket or my best trench coat is a very real struggle right now.
I have found choosing an outfit way trickier than usual, as anything too light and floaty will feel cold first thing, but too many layers will mean that I’m a sweaty mess by lunchtime. For me, jeans and a t-shirt has become my go-to, and it seems Reese Witherspoon has had the same idea as she recently shared some gorgeous snaps of her outfit that ticked all the spring/summer fashion trend boxes, and it's a wonderfully wearable look for between seasons too.
The actress wore a cream-toned pointelle t-shirt and a pair of light wash straight leg jeans, which she finished perfectly with some white strappy, block heels. It's such a chic combination, and the woven fabric of the top gives it a little extra warmth without being too heavy. It really is a winning ensemble to suit the unpredictable weather, and I will be recreating it for the foreseeable future.
Like the outfit as much as I do? The loose-knit t-shirt is from Reese’s very own fashion label Draper James, and is available to buy in the same off-white colour as well as five other standout shades. You can find it along with my edit of high street hero buys to recreate her stylish combination below.

Reese shows us all how to wear this woven top perfectly. The crochet top works well with lighter denim, but the soft muted cream colour means it'll sit well with bolder patterned separates too.
When it comes to finding the best jeans for your body type, a straight leg fit is a safe bet. The structured yet non-clingy shape is universally flattering and this high-waist pair will cinch in your middle too.
Finish your ensemble like Reese with a fresh pair of white sandals. The block heel on this strappy design make them a little more supportive than a stiletto and will work well as comfortable wedding guest shoes.

The loose knit texture of Reese's top works well to add a little more interest to her outfit compared to a simpler cotton t-shirt, but it still feels very casual and relaxed to wear. The woven piece looks great with jeans, but will sit equally as well with an a-line skirt or even a pair of leopard print trousers. Thanks to Reese and her effortless fashion know-how, spring dressing just got a lot easier.
