Oprah’s not breaking her podcast uniform of stylish pants just yet, but she is transitioning her tops with more breathable styles for the change of season.
In a new Instagram post, from a meeting with recent The Oprah Podcast guest Dr. Thema, the media mogul wore baggy suede pants, brown and white lace-up sneakers, and the lightweight layer we’ll be reaching for this spring: a quarter-zip top.
Oprah isn’t the only fan of quarter-zip styles — Martha Stewart, Dakota Johnson, and more celebs are also in on the trend. Quarter-zips are ideal for the unpredictable weather that accompanies spring, as you can zip them up or down to control airflow. Plus, the collar adds a preppy vibe and dresses up your outfit, especially when paired with sleek bottoms like Oprah opted for.
If you’re looking for a new long-sleeve top to try, consider stocking up on one of these Oprah-inspired zip-ups from Amazon, Spanx, and more — from $33.

Gap Oversized Quarter-Zip Sweatshirt
Those who are fans of Oprah’s brightly-colored top should add this Gap sweatshirt to your spring lineup (Bonus: It comes in a similar yellow). The oversized collar means you can wear it as a turtleneck or zip it down to let more air in. One shopper shared that they love its versatility and how they can wear it with other loungewear or jeans. In addition to yellow, you can snag it in pink, green, and more seasonal hues.
Spanx AirEssentials Half Zip
Oprah has praised quarter-zip styles in the past — like the Spanx AirEssentials sweatshirt that has famously made her Favorite Things List not once but twice. It comes in a roomy pullover silhouette that’s ideal for layering and easy to put on. And the spacer fabric is lightweight and stretchy. The half zip is available in sizes XS to 3XL.
Marine Layer Stripe Open Stitch Quarter Zip Sweater
An easy way to dress up a quarter-zip shirt is with stripes like this option that’s available at Nordstrom. It’s made with stripes, a ribbed hem, and eye-catching ribbed cuffs that exude effortless elegance. It has open stitching to enhance breathability, which is ideal for warm weather, too. You can get it in Oprah-inspired navy and white stripes or a match-with-anything cream.
Ahead, more Oprah-inspired quarter-zips to build out your spring wardrobe — from $24.
