These Next-Gen Influencers Have Impeccable Taste—See Their Spring Wish Lists

Hello, spring—I've missed you. With a fresh, new season comes new-season dressing, and if I'm struggling for ideas on what to wear now, my first port of call for outfit inspiration has to be social media. Instagram and TikTok might specialise in OOTD posts and easy-to-replicate looks, but they're also a handy tool when I need guidance on what's actually worth spending my money on, and at this point, I've racked up a list of influencers who always get it right, making my well-curated feed a very valuable resource.
But just as easily as new trends are introduced, so too does my algorithm change. This makes it that much easier to discover new creators, styles and pieces to bring to the mix, and 2023 has been a good year for a generation of influential icons. When I struggled with getting stuck in a fashion rut this week, I immediately set about finding the most popular content creators currently resonating with Gen Z in a bid to shake up my style and came back with a list of some seriously stylish women with covetable feeds. So who better to ask for shopping inspo than the women who not only set trends but also stay one step ahead of them?
The beginning of the year is the best time to take stock of your wardrobe, clear the clutter and invest in the kind of fresh pieces you'll want to wear for the next 12 months and beyond, so I asked seven influencers for the crush-worthy pieces they're buying or dreaming of now to inspire my own spring wish list and, hopefully, yours too. So keep scrolling for the hero buys these style insiders are after now and to hear how they'll be incorporating them into their wardrobes for the season ahead. Double tap worthy pieces incoming…
SOPHIE HABBOO
SHOP SOPHIE'S PICKS:
"This is the best bag I've ever bought. It's quite worn and vintage looking, and no one else has it apart from my best friend Melissa, who I made buy it too because it's such a Mary Poppins bag. Not only does it have a zip, but it fits the most ridiculous amount of things into it. It's relaxed and can give a cool-girl look or a boho vibe. It's understated and relaxed, which I love, and it doesn't matter if it gets scratched because it looks cooler that way. I wear this every day. I'm just so into brown leather this spring."
"I love these. They're really flattering, and I don't think I'm quite Gen Z enough to wear big, baggy cargo pants, but these are super cool with a bit of edge. You can wear them with heels as well if you wanted to smarten them up, and I love that they're so comfy and look good."
"Cool, comfy and go with just about every outfit. And honestly, I feel like Hailey Biebs when I wear these, so they are a must."
KLAUDIA CLOUD
SHOP KLAUDIA'S PICKS:
"Bags are my actual weakness, and when I came across this Loewe Paseo bag in-store, I slightly injured my neck looking back at it. It is the perfect statement bag, but also, it feels classic and a wardrobe staple. I love the lime-yellow colour that will add a little sparkle of dopamine to any outfit."
FLEUR RAFFAN
SHOP FLEUR'S PICKS:
"A long black satin skirt is a wardrobe staple. I love how they can be dressed up or down for day to night. During the day, I would wear it with a simple white tank, a belt and some sandals, and at night, I would opt for a black satin blouse and a pair of kitten heels for something a little sleeker."
SEUN OGUNSOLA
SHOP SEUN'S PICKS:
"As someone who wears denim almost every single day—all year round—I'm always keeping my eyes peeled for cool new denim brands, preferably sustainably made ones. So when I came across these Dala Reversible Carpenter Jeans online, I became immediately obsessed! Baggy, wide-leg jeans that are high-rise and reversible? Yes, please. Dala also partners with London-based tailoring service Sojo for alterations, so basically, it's a full-service operation."
"These JW Anderson Bumper-Tube Mules have been on my wish list since last year, and I'm thinking it may be finally time to add to cart and actually check out. Though they may not be to everyone's taste, to me, they're extremely versatile. I'll be styling them with baggy jeans, tees, dresses, suits… The list goes on."
SAMMI JEFCOATE
SHOP SAMMI'S PICKS:
"The most impractical, iconic box bag from the Parisian powerhouse that is Saint Laurent. When I saw this piece hit the men's section, I didn't debate it for a second. Most certainly not an item for everyone, but I adore its pop-culture take and an incredible collector piece for the die-hard YSL fans."
KATE HUTCHINS
SHOP KATE'S PICKS:
EMMA BROWN
SHOP EMMA'S PICKS:
"I love wearing co-ord linen sets, especially during hot summers, and these PJs would look amazing in the day with a pair of black sandals."
