This might just be me, but I love to hear what stylish people are shopping for ahead of a season—not just the trends they're loving but what they're actually investing their money in. Maybe it's because it's part of my job, but a peek at a tastemaker's shopping list provides unique insight into what the key buys will be (and what items are bound to sell out first). Not only does this shopping intel inform my own list, but it also helps improve the recommendations I share here with you.
Since we're right at the start of spring, I decided to ask my chicest friends what they're buying this season, focusing specifically on accessories because that's my personal favorite category—and their carts did not disappoint. From pale-blue handbags to bold bangles and butter-yellow heels, the most stylish people I know are all investing in a few key accessory trends for the spring '25 season. Below I'm highlighting the 35 best spring accessories from Revolve and Fwrd, according to the most stylish people I know.
