Whether it's an after-school pick-up, meeting a friend for dinner after work, or even a workout class, your fashion should be able to move throughout the day feeling fresh and appropriate for each moment.

With just a few tricks like layering or styling a blazer (that you can remove), it's all about thinking smarter, not harder.

To help you get started with a few pro tips, "Good Morning America" tapped Amber Hendrix, the Director of Styling at Athleta to weigh in.

Hendrix not only shares five of her top styling tips but also pulled some of her favorite recommendations to shop.

Tip 1: Incorporate a versatile, elevated layer that takes you from AM to PM

"Style a chic blazer that can be dressed up or down and will transition to your after-work event," Hendrix shared.

Tip 2: Everyone's wearing wide legs

"Style your favorite flare pant with a body suit or tank. Then layer with a sweater for your morning meetings and quickly get ready for your after-work reservations by removing the sweater and adding a statement necklace."

Tip 3: Elevate your closet with a dress that can do all

"You can pair the Seasoft Tank Dress below with a long sleeve shirt under your dress for a light layering option. Remove the long sleeve and add a boot to meet up with friends after work. The dress is wrinkle resistant to keep you looking fresh all day long."

Tip 4: Make your look tonal and transition easily for whatever your day brings

"Wear comfortable workout pants, like the one below, for early morning yoga flow, throw on a stretch top for your 9-5 with the option to style a button down over it for a more polished look."

Tip 5: Incorporate clothes that move with you.

"If you plan to start off your morning movement layer this oversized poplin top over your workout here that will take you through the rest of the day. You can also style the poplin top differently as you transition from work to evening - wear it buttoned up for work and unbuttoned for a fun off-duty look that showcases your crop."
