If you do anything at all this weekend, go get yourself a duster.

You're probably avoiding long coats for the fact they feel a tad formal or too bulky for warmer weather. A good duster, though, is not your average winter coat. The springtime wardrobe staple is easy, breezy and ideal for layering.

Need proof? Just look to celebs who are pairing their floor-length layers with every possible outfit.

The fun thing about investing in a neutral camel topper, like Khloe Kardashian's camel coat, is that it pretty much goes with everything. To keep it simple, a monochrome outfit underneath is a chic, no-hassle look, but an over-the-top pattern or neon shade layered underneath would not look out of place either.

You have to brave to pull off an all-white look, but if you are daring enough to try it (without getting it dirty), you might just wind up looking as cosmopolitan as Kelly Rowland. If you do go the white-on-white route, just be sure to rough up the texture. For example, the singer's wool coat and linen pant combo feels extra-sophisticated.

Denim never goes out of style, there's no doubt about that. Behati Prinsloo's duster in the casual fabric feels classic with a twist. To complement the trendy vibe of a modern duster, take a page from the mom-to-be's book and style with other of-the-moment trends like a slip dress and ankle-strap heels.

Leave it to Alessandra Ambrosio to prove that dusters, are in fact, Cali cool, too. For a beachy, day-off vibe, layer a decorated jacket over your best frayed cutoffs and T-shirt combo. Let an embroidered duster do the talking and keep your under layers nice and basic.

A pastel statement piece is a solid fashion statement for spring, and Kendall Jenner sure knows how to make the look work. To evoke similar It-girl vibes, toughen up your outfit by incorporating edgy, neutral pieces like the supermodel's leather leggings and black neck scarf.
