STYLE NOTES:
Statement knits, iconic Prada bags and more: inside Eyes Rodgers’ transitional dressing playbook.
Let’s be honest: winter dressing can flatten even the strongest wardrobe. After months of heavy coats and practical choices, it’s easy to forget what a considered outfit looks like. That’s where transitional dressing steps in. Not quite spring, not fully winter - just the sweet spot where lighter layers start to make sense again. The key is editing, not adding.
Model and influencer @eyesrodgers is already ahead of the curve. She’s swapping bulk for structure, embracing versatile staples, and proving that you can ease into warmer days without abandoning polish. From refined separates to accessories that pull everything together, here’s what’s currently in her rotation.
Sunshine is persuasive. It convinces you it’s warmer than it is. Before you dramatically ditch the coat, reach for a lightweight knit instead - Prada’s Stripe Crew Neck hits that in-between note perfectly.
Then ground it with proper tailoring. Eyes opts for Prada’s Trompe High-Rise Wide Leg trousers, finished with a built-in belt print (arguably the easiest styling win of the season). Slingbacks, a considered bag, and classic hoops complete the formula.
Out with the girls and it’s still technically cold? Eyes makes a convincing case for leaning into leather - and keeping it coordinated.
She starts with a punchy Miu Miu top for a hit of colour, then grounds it with a leather mini skirt that adds polish and a little insulation. The boots - in the same leather finish - keep things streamlined while offering extra coverage for chillier evenings. Even the bag follows the same leather story, tying the whole look together. A quick swipe of Dior’s Addict Lip Glow Oil later and you’re good to go.
Eyes starts cropped - Miu Miu, naturally - and doubles down with a ¼ zip layered neatly over the top. The repetition in proportion keeps everything tight and deliberate. No excess fabric, no unnecessary bulk. Just enough warmth to handle that in-between forecast.
When the wind inevitably picks up, a lightweight windbreaker slides on and off with ease. The clever twist? The reversible mini skirt. Two sides, two moods. It’s the kind of piece that works overtime during transitional months.
Loafers anchor the look with a touch of restraint, and the Matelassé pouch delivers that instantly recognisable finish. Strategic layering, but make it cool.
Office hours followed by out-of-office plans? Eyes doesn’t overcomplicate it.
A knitted crew lays the groundwork - warm enough for early starts, breathable enough for long days. Prada’s high-rise trousers keep the silhouette sharp and pulled together, striking that sweet spot between tailored and wearable.
Court shoes add height without drama, (no emergency flats required). For the inevitable temperature shift, a washed lightweight Prada jacket layers on easily - structured enough to feel considered, relaxed enough for post-work plans. The Bonnie Top Handle Bag seals the deal.
