We get it, mornings are tough. Whether it’s loud construction right outside your window (that promptly starts at 7 a.m. every morning, mind you), a roommate that snores or you just stayed up way too late watching Grey’s Anatomy reruns (guilty), sometimes you just don’t have the willpower to look cute in the morning. When that morning comes, maybe it already has, look to a colorblock dress to ease your wardrobe woes. All you need is the dress, tights (you can never go wrong with opaque black to keep your legs warm—and still look chic), and your favorite booties to look your best with minimal effort (now that’s what I’m talking about). Here’s six dresses to give you some outfit inspiration next time you’re racking your brain for what to wear to work (or, you know, you finally finished season eight of Grey’s on Netflix).

DKNY Colorblock Sheath Dress: This short-sleeved, black-and-blue sheath dress would go perfectly with a leather jacket and chunky-heeled booties. Or you could pair it with pointed-toe stilettos and chic bag for work or a night out.

NY Collection Geometric Dress: This gray and black sweater dress is cozy and cute. Pair it with motorcycle boots to edge it up, or try it with suede thigh-highs for an unexpected (but totally stylish) look.

Vince Stripe Colorblock Dress: Sporty-chic never looked this good (or, dare we say, comfortable). If tights aren’t your style, try pairing this dress with gray sweats (just make sure they’re not too baggy) and sneakers. Need to wear it to work or to a night out? Just add a chunky silver necklace and heels—voila, outfit issue solved.

A.L.C. Colorblock Dress: Go for a shock of pink with this high-neckline, long-sleeved colorblock dress. Think pink is too sweet? Tough it up with a killer leather jacket and sleek pony. You’ll look chic, tough-as-nails, and with just the right amount of pink.

Earthen Pottery & Boutique Sweater Dress: The A-line hem on this gray, black, and white colorblock dress features slimming side panels—so it will flatter any figure, and give you an hourglass shape in the process. Move over Kim K, we’re coming for ya.

Zara Colorblock Dress: This long-sleeved dress puts a mod twist on the colorblock shift. Try parting your hair deep to one side, adding a swipe of lipstick, and patent leather go-go boots (ha! Just kidding, any normal boot will do just fine).
