Imagine the possibilities if every item in your closet could work for just about any occasion. OK, maybe the pajamas stay at home and the long gowns stay tucked in the back for special events, but almost everything has a second life.

This easy tuck trick is perfect for transforming any dress into work-appropriate apparel. Go ahead, let that eveningwear have its time in the sun.

Start with your favorite special-occasion dress. Weird to see it during the day, right?

You can also try a long-sleeved wool sweater for an on-trend cropped look, or can even nail this technique with a basic T-shirt!
