No matter the time of year, there is no better time to do a closet reset. Spring is no exception as we begin to shed the heavier layers and navigate the change of weather. With any wardrobe refresh, I like to prioritize pieces that make for easy dressing and give an elegant feeling to my looks. Before you know it, all the pieces come together to create the most sophisticated outfit rotations.
Another factor that is top of mind is my budget. I am constantly keeping an eye out for pieces that are elevated and affordable. This season, my focus is on chic black slingback heels, smart gray blazers, classic black dresses, and more. Ahead, peruse six standout pieces that I swear by for putting together affordable, sophisticated outfits—all but one piece come in at under $150.
