It hits the sweet spot between casual and dressed-up, making it a great daytime choice. She kept the rest of the look just as simple with a navy sweater draped over her shoulders, adding a bit of contrast while staying within the same color range, and finished the ensemble with black ballet flats.Cobra Team/BackgridHer accessories followed the same approach. Johnson added a pop of color with a red handbag by The Row, breaking up the blue and nodding to the “pop of red” accent trend that’s been picking up this season. She also wore a pendant necklace and round sunglasses.The slip dress has recently been gaining traction, with designers and celebrities revisiting the ’90s staple across daytime and evening looks. Johnson herself often favors pieces that feel easy to wear rather than overly constructed. As she told ELLE in March, “the sexiest clothing items are the ones that make you feel good in your body.”Below, shop pieces inspired by Johnson’s effortless spring uniform.Shop Dakota Johnson’s Spring Outfit FormulaLine & Dot Adelyn Dress in Baby BlueCredit: RevolveEverlane Cardigan in Ultrasoft MerinoCredit: AmazonDolce Vita Conrad Ballet FlatCredit: NordstromLe Specs Duskfall SunglassesCredit: Revolve8 Other Reasons Justine Shoulder Bag in Burgundy.Credit: Revolve
