Although it doesn't feel like it, spring is nearly here, and frankly, I'm in the mood to reorganize my closet. Unlike the other seasons, transitioning your closet from winter to spring feels like a massive overhaul. Thankfully, after spending my entire weekend scrolling through all of my favorite stores, I've gathered a foolproof list of 28 elegant basics, trend-forward items, and workhorse pieces you'll want to add into your wardrobe this spring.

Happy shopping!

If you buy one thing from this list, let it be this top that I can't live without.

Barrel jeans are here to stay.

If you're aiming for extra-elevated outfits this year, look no further than this chic gray sweater.

This looks like an ultra-expensive designer pair I have on my "holy grails" list.

Now that spring is nearly here, I'm pulling out my denim midi skirts.

These breezy pull-on pants are such a "can't miss" item.

No joke, this is already en route to me.

Run, don't walk—this jacket is deeply discounted at the moment.

This simple oversize button-down is everyone's favorite workhorse.

The viral mesh flats in all of their glory.

Not a want, but a need.

These sleek, washed-in white jeans would look so good with everything.

Not a want, but a need.

This suede grommet belt is simply divine.

I'm living for these high-cuff jeans.

This color!

Helsa can do no wrong in my eyes.

Example B.

Okay, Sndys, I see you.

Another butter-yellow item I'm eyeing this year.

This splurge-worthy bag is all over my Pinterest feed.

While you'd think light-wash jeans are the best jeans to wear between winter and spring, think again. This ultra-dark pair looks so elegant.

This trench is a piece I know you'd use over and over.

Absolutely gorgeous.

Chic.

Not your basic white top.

Sofia Richie Grainge would approve.

I'll leave you with these.
