We’ve got spring showers and flowers on the brain! That means dressing for spring in pretty pastels and prints with plenty of cute coats. From cropped trenches to knit polos, these are the spring essentials we can’t wait to wear all season long.
In LA, we have sunny skies and warm weather, which means I need to make a few non-sweater purchases! I’ve had my eye on this COS knit polo, which I want to wear with boyfriend jeans or even a jean skirt, and a pair of low-heeled mules. Helmut Lang’s dolman sleeve sweater in cream is a little more interesting take on a sweatshirt.
Ever since Miu Miu sent their moccasin/boat shoes down the runway, the silhouette has never seemed fresher. Miuccia does it again! I don’t think I can stomach spending almost a thousand dollars on a moccasin, even for Prada, but these Minnetonka moccasins scratch the same itch at a much friendlier price point. Nothing says spring like a sandal, and this Veronica Beard leather sandal bridges the gap between end of winter and beginning of spring perfectly.
Spring is the perfect time for a new light jacket, and this Veronica Beard knit blazer works as a top you can throw something over, or on its own. For a more modern take on a trench, the brand’s black cropped trench is a more substantial option for outerwear. Sezane’s take on a chore coat in a light denim is a fun way to do double denim.
For those of you still in the sweater stage, there are a lot of fun, springier options. It’s time to put away the turtleneck and grab this blue and white striped La Ligne sweater. Or this Everlane cotton honeycomb crewneck. Or this J.Crew cable-knit cropped sweater.
