19 Pieces on the WWW Editor Spring Shopping List
If you're anything like me, you're probably thinking ahead to spring and putting together a gameplan for the pieces you'll be ordering to wear for the upcoming season. As much as I would like to, I can't order all of the pieces on my radar, so I'm always strategic with my shopping and select a few new buys each season that hit a sweet spot between on-trend and a low cost-per-wear.
With a team of Who What Wear fashion editors who are truly shopping experts, I also asked my colleagues to share what is on their spring shopping list right now. From the shoe trends defining 2020 to the cool way to wear suiting to amazing affordable finds, these are plenty of stylish shopping picks to inspire your spring wardrobe. Below, discover team WWW's top shopping items to add your cart now, beginning with my personal edit.
Shop my picks:
I've been thinking about these shoes since I first spotted them and they're topping my wish list for spring. The padded Velcro-strap heels feel like a particularly fresh style for the season ahead. I always covet anything Pernille Teisbaek wears. She actually designed these as part of a cool collaboration with Gia Couture.
Hello, blazer dress of my dreams. I can't get enough of Australian brand Anna Quan and love that it's incorporated side cutouts into this piece—tapping into one of the biggest upcoming trends straight from the runways. I'd style this on its own with heels or layer it over a pair of black pants.
One piece that’s currently missing from my wardrobe? An easy, but elevated, tote bag to carry on the weekend. This one from Chloe finished with raffia and leather details is topping my wish list.
Shop Kat's picks:
"The revival of cardigans started out as a trend, but now, I think of it as a staple that's going to feel right for years to come. Isn't this lemon sherbert one a dream? It looks vintage, which to me is the ultimate compliment."
"We all know black, brown, and white shoes will get the most play in your closet, but sometimes you need a petite pop of color. I would argue that red is the most versatile non-neutral choice. Extra points for getting a pair like these easy kitten heels that feel elevated yet approachable."
"Welcome to the season of disco collars. I am all about pulling an oversize collar to lay out over my blazer or cardigan, and this seems to be the perfect specimen. If you need styling ideas, check out how the fashion crowd is wearing it."
Shop Nicole's picks:
"I'm super excited about the chain-shoe trend, and this affordable pair from Topshop is right up my alley."
"This '90s-inspired asymmetrical tank caught my attention back when it went down the runway in September, and now that it's available to buy, I love it even more."
Shop Judith's picks:
"I'm all about statement puff sleeves for spring, this billowy dress is going to be my go-to for every warm-weather event on my Google Calendar."
"I can't wait to try some lighter, brighter, empowering tailored separates to wear from boardroom to bar this spring."
Shop Allyson's picks:
"I've been on the hunt for an easy-to-wear vest, and this one instantly caught my eye. I can't wait to wear it with flared jeans."
"I love all things Staud, but this top really blew me away for obvious reasons. It's currently lingering in my cart tempting me."
"I'm not a big skirt person, but I just can't stop staring at this one. It's so pretty but also cool, thanks to the subtle thigh-high slits."
Shop Anna's picks:
"I'm finally ready to try out the Bermuda-shorts look, and this pair looks like it has the right tailored-but-slouchy fit and neutral color that will serve as an excellent outfit base to more springy pieces."
"Calling it now: Halter tops are coming back from the dead. I'm a big fan of this minimalist halter top that hits on another emerging trend with its wraparound ties. Hello, warm-weather going-out top!"
"Easy, low-heeled sandals are the name of the game for me, and this delightful pair features ankle ties and a square toe—two details that make them feel very right now."
Shop Bobby's picks:
"I'm still very into the animal-print trend, and this gorgeous suede jacket is spot on (literally). I'm all about a strong outerwear moment."
"I wear skinny jeans a lot, but I want to experiment with more straight-leg styles. And honestly, I'm recommending this layered cut to all my friends."
