Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
Spring is officially in the air—at least here in L.A. (sorry, East Coast friends, I know you've still got a little ways to go)—and I, for one, couldn't be more ecstatic. Not just because of the sunny, 70ºF weather, but because I've officially hit my limit with my winter wardrobe and I'm more than ready for a refresh. The second temps started rising, I ran to Pinterest for spring outfit inspiration, and naturally, did a little bit (okay, a lot) of shopping along the way. If you're just as ready to swap heavy layers for lighter, brighter, and more fun pieces, you've come to the right place. I've rounded up a mix of must-know spring trends and new arrivals from some of my favorite brands to help you step into the new season in style.
Tops and Jackets
This spring is all about making your outfit feel more interesting. I'm seeing everything from soft baby blues and pinks to bolder, brighter hues, along with playful polka dots, delicate lace details, and sleek satin finishes. Basically, if it feels fun and a little statement-making, it's in.
Polka dots are still very much in.
A good button-up is an absolute necessity for spring.
The subtle lace trim on this is everything.
I own a similar jacket, and it’s easily one of the most-worn pieces in my closet once the weather warms up.
I've been super into polo tops recently. They're undeniably chic, classy, and oh-so cool.
The most perfect going-out top.
Prepare to be sick of me wearing baby pink this season.
A denim jacket is a must-have staple in every wardrobe.
You can never have too many cardigans for spring.
I love wearing fleeces to lounge around. I can't get over this stunning purple on this one.
Bottoms
Trending bottoms are also showing that same fresh energy. I'm seeing a major continuation of capris (which I've finally gotten on board with), alongside lighter-wash denim, sporty vintage-inspired styles, and linen shorts in the prettiest delicate colors.
Immediately added this to my cart.
These jeans have been on my wish list for a while now. The unique waistband (or lack thereof) is so cool.
Vintage-inspired sporty pants are my new obsession.
I think these are the cutest shorts I've ever seen.
Light-wash denim is a must for spring.
This with a crisp white tee would be *chef's kiss*.
If you can't tell, I'm really into capris.
Linen shorts look so elegant.
Great quality and on sale.
White denim is one of my go-tos as soon as it starts to warm up.
Shoes
My closet has been begging for a fresh lineup of sneakers and fun spring shoes. Some trends I'm seeing in the footwear department include mule loafers, wedges as a chic swap for usual flip-flops or sandals, anything with a boho feel, and sleek sneakers in fun colors and animal prints.
Immediately need these.
I can't say no to a gorgeous pop of red.
Wedges are about to be everywhere this season.
So fun.
I think baby blue is the color for spring.
This on a tropical vacation is a must.
Fun sneakers make any outfit that much better.
White sneakers are classic for a reason.
Accessories
This spring, the It girls are wearing pouch bags and woven leather styles, as well as oversize retro sunglasses. There's also one trend I didn't see coming: Skinny scarves—not for warmth, but as that extra flair that pulls a whole look together.
Between this color and the price, I’m sold.
The bigger the shades, the better.
A hint of animal print will always get me.
Retro chic.
Never thought I'd wear a scarf in 70-degree weather until now.
Denim and gold look good together.
Can't have a bad hair day if you have a cool baseball hat.
My secret weapon for making every top look that much better.
Beauty
I couldn't just stop at spring fashion—beauty is having a moment too. From revolutionary tanning products to cool, statement eye and lip looks like brown mascara and lip-liner stains, we're giving our look a fresh update for the new season.
A self-tanner that you only need to leave on for ten minutes? A dream come true.
Pretty much every eyeshadow shade you could ever want, all in one palette.
What did I ever do without a lip-liner stain?
This shade is absolutely gorgeous.
I've been loving brown mascara for a more natural everyday look.
The applicator on this is so good.
This multi-purpose stick is perfect for highlighting or adding a fun shimmer to your lids.
Practically every makeup brush you could need for just $10.
