Face it, looking completely put together can take up quite a bit of time, especially if you enjoy the process of getting ready in the morning. Despite the time spent in preparing to put your best face forward, very few of us want to look like we tried too hard. For those after natural, effortless beauty (or the perception of it), Grecian draping should be your friend this spring. Especially flattering on jersey material, this careful placement of fabric looks amazing in dresses, skirts, tops, and swimsuits.

Now start off your spring shopping with some fabulous Grecian-inspired picks below:
