Susie Wright’s sartorial insights are always intriguing. After all, she’s been working in the industry for years as a former Nordstrom buyer and current stylist and blogger with So Susie. So when Wright offered up her spring shopping list, we listened.
According to Wright, there are a few specific trends that are worth prioritizing to build out a well-balanced spring wardrobe. While all of the trends are unique in their own right, they’re similar in that they’re all very versatile and could be styled with a range of other basics that are probably already in your closet.
Keep scrolling to check out Wright’s favorite spring items. You’ll also uncover styling references and testimonials from her. And if you’re in the mood to shop, there are inspired product recommendations for each category as well.
Loose Shirting
On Wright: Citizens of Humanity shirt
"This is a favorite trend, and right now they’re absolutely everywhere! Look for short- or long-sleeved versions, solid or stripes—you can’t go wrong with any of these at the moment. Paired with denim or shorts or open over a dress, loose shirts are super chic and easy."
Trench Coat
On Wright: Avec Les Filles trench
"Trench coats are timeless and always in style. So adding a lighter-weight trench to your spring wardrobe is a smart addition. Wear with a simple white tee and faded denim for the perfect casual (and trending) outfit."
Modern Denim Silhouette
On Wright: Paige denim
"Spring is the perfect time to include new denim silhouettes in lighter washes. Whether you’re going for faded denim, white, or écru, they all work. Prioritize updating your denim—it’s the easiest way to stay current."
Floral Dress
On Wright: Zimmermann dress
"Dresses are a top priority for spring! They’re feminine and pretty and super easy to wear to many events. Whether it’s running errands in flat sandals or dressed up for an event, dresses are a spring go-to."
Denim Jacket
On Wright: Frame jacket
"Denim jackets are wardrobe staples, and introducing a newer silhouette will update all your spring outfits. Look for vintage styles with a little distressing or ones that are slightly oversized. You’ll wear them with everything."
Pretty White Blouse
On Wright: Rails top
"A pretty white top and faded denim is a classic spring combo that always looks clean. Add a chic sandal and basket bag, and throw a simple white cardigan over your shoulders. You’ll be good to go."
Statement Bag/Shoe Combo
On Wright: Loewe tote and Saint Laurent sandals
"A good spring shoe/bag combo will complete every outfit. An example of this is a caramel-colored shoe and a straw bag—this color combination goes with almost every single outfit!"
