Most Wanted is a weekly franchise that goes live every Monday. The story features a list of one editor or influencer’s current favorite 30 fashion or beauty products around a certain theme.
Hey there. I’m the shopping director here at Who What Wear. Part of my role is to sort through the market to bring you, dear readers, edits of trending finds. And yes, that’s what you’re going to find below. Specifically, I curated a list of elevated spring basics that get a yes from me.
By elevated basics, I’m referring to pieces that are highly versatile (the making of a great basic) but have modern and forward design elements or silhouettes to give them that little something extra. For example, items like a cinched-in blazer and denim maxi skirt.
