A Denim Jacket + Floral Skirt (above)
The denim jacket is the perfect season-to-season transitional piece, and Witherspoon knows this well. On two separate spring outings, she topped her black shirt-and-floral skirt combo with America’s most classic outerwear.
The Button-Down and Crewneck Sweater Pairing
Witherspoon put a dash of prep in her step when she stepped out in a collared ivory Tory Burch sweater ($140; toryburch.com) and again in a white knit layered over a button-down.

A Leather Moto Jacket
For a tougher take on her look, the star swaps her denim jacket for a leather one. Here, she topped off her stripes and skinnies with a moto jacket (right), and more recently, she draped it over her shoulders.
