5 Editors Share What's on Their Ultimate New-Season Wish List
I felt like Snow White when I stepped outside this morning. No, not because I’m ghostly pale after four months of single-digit temperatures, but because I heard the fairytale melody that signals the beginning of spring: birdsong.
That's right, spring is in the air, and there's a lot of chat among the Who What Wear team about what this means for our wardrobes. Unsurprisingly, each of our editors already has a lengthy wish list of pieces they're dreaming of wearing through the seasonal shift—and into those long-awaited warmer days. Goodbye bulky coats and 60-dernier tights, hello light layers and cotton fabrics.
Of course, we have to be realistic, and our budgets don't allow for every piece we're coveting to make the cut. So, I asked our editors to whittle down their wish lists and share the key items they'll be prioritising, or those they've recently snapped up with springtime dressing in mind. In a predictable twist, this exercise resulted in my own wish list doubling in size. You've been warned.
Keeping scrolling to see the high-street and luxury pieces that have stood out to these fashion experts.

"I recently invested in The Frankie Shop's Bea blazer and have kicked myself for not doing it sooner. No wonder everyone raves about it! For spring, I’d love to add to my collection with the Gelso style in this soft pink hue. I’ll wear it with blue and white denim as well as over dresses and midi skirts. A wise investment."
"I'm continuing the pink theme with this cute minidress. I just love the slightly voluminous skirt, which I think makes it look so much more expensive than it is. It's the perfect mini for springtime dinners, parties and holidays but I'll also rewear it come party season (yes, I'm already thinking about it!) with metallic hues and sparkly accessories."
Maxine Eggenberger, Deputy Editor
Maxine's style is as classic as it gets: think lots of neutral hues, stripes and timeless blue denim. If you can relate, you'll probably struggle to resist her wish-list picks.

"One minute it's too cold, the next it's unpredictably mild, but one thing that always works is a shacket. I'd wear this now with a turtleneck underneath and swap it for a cami once the weather warms up. Either way, it looks incredibly chic belted at the waist and paired with a wide-leg trouser."
"For me, spring is when I come out of hibernation and get back to filling my social calendar, and I always reach for a slinky midi to dress for evening plans. Christopher Esber specialises in contemporary styles with flattering silhouettes that are guaranteed to invite compliments."
"This controversial shoe has been filling my timeline a lot as of late, and while the jury is still out on the ankle-boot Tabis, the ballet flats are the much more wearable and on-trend alternative."
Rebecca Rhys-Evans, Branded Content Editor
Impeccable tailoring, exquisite fabrics and directional footwear are where Rebecca's heart is, as her spring wish list demonstrates. Those loafers, though.
