My Shopping Track Record Is Immaculate—Here's What I'd Invest in This Spring
Not to brag, but I do have somewhat of a crystal ball–esque ability when it comes to predicting or buying fashion items that will maintain their allure for the long haul. Maybe it's intuition, maybe it's experience, or—most likely—maybe it's because I'd hate nothing more than to invest in a piece only to get sick of it after a couple of seasons. Whatever the reason, this has become one of my party tricks, and it will no longer just be my sisters, my friends, and me who benefit from it.
Today, I'll be sharing my top spring picks for those looking to invest in an item they won't regret this spring. You'll find that the below is heavy on bags, shoes, and outerwear, and before you question why, I'll tell you. I truly have found that those are the categories that stay relevant the longest and are least susceptible to trend cycles. Plus, even if they feel "out" one year, odds are they will come back eventually—so hold on to them! Of course, you'll find a handful of exceptions in the form of dresses and knits too, but before I spoil all the fun, simply keep scrolling to see what made the cut.
Not only is this bordeaux color the star of Gucci's latest collection, but it also happens to be extremely versatile and timeless. This season, I'd buy anything in this shade.
Wear them with anything from jeans to dresses to micro shorts.
This might be the trench coat that finally gets me to wear trench coats.
There's a reason it's always selling out.
You'll want to wear this top (and the matching pants) over and over again.
The barn-jacket craze isn't going anywhere, and this brand has perfected it over the years.
"I really regret buying that black Miu Miu midi skirt," said no one ever.
When it comes to bags and belts, this brand just doesn't miss.
I don't need to say more about The Row's Margaux bag.
Don't buy this if you don't want people telling you they love it constantly.
It's hard not to want the entire new Altuzarra collection.
Only Courrèges could get me to include a tank in here.
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
