Do you ever wish you could snap your fingers and your dream wardrobe would magically appear? I just did that for you in the form of this 54-item shopping roundup. Getting ahold of these items will take a little more effort, but your dream spring outfits will come to fruition. My perfect spring look starts with a good pair of barrel-leg jeans, brightly colored ballet flats, and a classic trench coat. But for you, maybe it looks more like a blush-pink midi dress with a butter-yellow shoulder bag. But no matter your style, there’s something here for everyone. You may be wondering how I went about curating this long list, and the answer is a deep dive into all my favorite brands. Below, you’ll find my top six finds from each, with products ranging from trending pearl jewelry to rain-resistant activewear. No stone was left unturned in this spring shopping endeavor, so keep reading to discover my best picks of the month.
Up first, we have all things butter yellow and blush pink from COS. Its slogan is “modern style, designed to last,” and that’s true of the following items. The colorways are on-trend, but the silhouettes are totally timeless. These make great core wardrobe pieces for spring.
We’re in an era of flat-shoe supremacy, and no one is mad about it. The first popular style this season is a modern take on the classic flip-flop. Between the rubber styles and embellished hardware, these aren’t the typical sandals of summers past. Shop my favorites from Steve Madden here.
This spring has seen a return to traditional seasonal colorways, including blush pink, butter yellow, and sky blue. I’m embracing pastel accessories, starting with these pretty bags from Coach Outlet. The Brooklyn Shoulder bag (pictured above) is my favorite, but I’m eager to get my hands on the Swing Zip 2.0 too.
My fellow editors are my biggest source of outfit inspiration, so I snooped their Instagram accounts. Ana Escalante inspired me to get a new trench coat. Aniyah Morinia confirmed that a yellow polo sweater is imperative for spring. And Anneliese Henderson has me all in on pinstripes. I found all these pieces and more at Ssense, of course.
In recent years, no footwear comeback has been as strong as the ballet flat. When it comes to brands doing it right, Mansur Gavriel takes the cake. With round-toe, square-toe, ballerina-inspired, and mesh styles, this brand has taken the ballet flat to new heights. The following six pairs are my favorite of the season, but I’m curious to know which you’re most drawn to.
When it comes to spring jewelry trends, all eyes are on pearls and classic timepieces. These two categories often come with high price points, but Jared Jewelers has the quality pieces worth your investment. And don’t worry—if gold isn’t your metal of choice, it has a mix of silver, platinum, and rose gold options as well.
When it comes to luxury bag investments, Jimmy Choo is on every fashion person’s radar. Leopard prints and suede fabrics are a few spring trends to buy into, but if you’re looking ahead to summer, I’d recommend the Beach Hobo or the Cinch in baby blue. You can’t go wrong with any of the following.
Michael Kors’s spring collection is one to take notes on. It consists of classic wardrobe staples such as linen suits and tunics. Plus, it has pops of trending elements, including woven leather goods and bag charms. These six items are my favorite of the latest arrivals, but you can discover more here.
