As Wright builds out her spring wardrobe, nine key trends will be front-runners to create her well-styled looks. Below are the items that matter most to Wright, including visual inspiration. Looking to add one or all of the items to your wardrobe? You better believe there are shopping recommendations throughout.
Stand-Collar Jackets
On Wright: Sanctuary jacket
"If there's one jacket to add this season, it's a funnel-neck style. This silhouette is sporty and sophisticated, and you'll wear it nonstop. Pair with wide-leg pants, straight-leg jeans, or even a midi skirt for a chic, modern look."
Pink Everything
On Wright: Tuckernuck top; Mother jeans
"I'm loving this color trend for spring 2026. It's showing up everywhere, from runways to street style to sporty weekend style. Pink pairs nicely with soft neutrals like white and gray or even a brighter color like yellow. Look for cool accessories or anything else that catches your eye!"
Straight-Leg Jeans
On Wright: Mother jeans
"Classic straight-leg jeans are the one style that work for most everyone, and they're so easy to style! You can try a faded-blue wash, but if you want something more polished, go for a rinse wash. So chic!"
Loose Pants
On Wright: Aritzia pants
"Think of these trending pants as a chic alternative to jeans or even leggings. Their relaxed fit makes them incredibly comfortable, and they'll give your everyday outfits a little refresh. The drawstring waist and wider legs make them absolutely perfect for travel!"
Butter Yellow
On Wright: Reformation top; Mother jeans
"Another color trend everyone is loving this season, butter yellow is everywhere and not just in fashion. From nail color to interiors to luggage, this fresh, optimistic shade just makes you happy."
Clear Shoes
On Wright: Cinq à Sept jacket; Gianvito Rossi heels
"If you're looking for shoes that go with every single item in your closet, these are the shoes you want to consider. You'll find options everywhere, from thong sandals to wedges to pointy-toe styles like the ones I'm wearing."
Animal Print
On Wright: Câllas jacket
"If you want one standout piece that you will reach for again and again, find an animal-print jacket you love or anything that catches your eye."
Short Trench Coats
On Wright: Frame jacket
"Trench coats are a classic spring jacket, and this season, I'm seeing shorter lengths everywhere."
Lower-Rise Denim
On Wright: Frame jeans and top
"Lower rises are catching on, and though many of us might not be sure about revisiting this trend, they're worth trying this season. I heard from my sources that this style is the Frame HQ office favorite."
