8 Who What Wear Editors, 8 Affordable Spring Buys: What We Want to Wear Now
In an effort to stay connected in a time when we're all keeping our physical distance, I reached out to my fellow Who What Wear editors to chat about something a bit more lighthearted: new spring clothes. As you probably already know, we bring a fresh drop of newness to our Who What Wear collection at the top of each month, so I thought it would be a fun exercise to share which of the new pieces we want to wear now.
If you're new here, our line hits you with a new collection at the top of each month with everything priced well below $100 and offered in a range of sizes from XS to 4X. And, well, it wouldn't be a Who What Wear line if it weren't designed with some of the most wearable trends of the season in mind.
From easy silky pieces to the prettiest prints, my fellow editors and I weren't shy about playing favorites. We each picked one of the affordable items from our April collection and imagined how we'd wear them. Ready to usher in some new season staples to your wardrobe? Simply scroll down to see our editors' picks and find out why we're drawn to each of them, then shop our favorites on Target.com.
I'm getting "dad on vacation" vibes with this tropical print shirt, and I'm so into it. I've it (along with the matching trousers) in person and it's so silky and soft, which is all I want to reach for right now. I'm already dreaming of wearing it with tailored Bermuda shorts and sandals in the summer—wait, did I just find my new-season uniform? I think yes.
Also available in more sizes.
"Polka dots are always relevant, but especially this season. They're a great alternative if you want a break from floral prints, and I love this chic green colorway. All you'll need to dress it up is a black tank or bodysuit and a pair of strappy heels, or a T-shirt and white sneakers for a more casual look."
"I cannot get enough puff sleeves in my wardrobe, and 1this chic black one-shoulder top is high up on my wish list. I'll be pairing it with high-waisted wide-leg jeans, strappy sandals, and gold hoops this warm-weather season."
"As someone who lives in neutrals, it's always refreshing to find a colorless print that feels easy to wear but still exciting. That, of course, is just one of the reasons I'm so into this top. I love the boxy fit and how it ties as opposed to buttoning up. I'll definitely wear it a ton with all my favorite jeans."
Also available in more sizes.
"There's no way these pants won't get a ton of use. All my basics tops just met their match. Plus, I love how the slim fit looks IRL."
Also available in more sizes.
"I simply can't resist a voluminous puff-sleeve top, and this one finished with a whimsical toile print is exactly what I want to wear right now."
"I love long dresses because I'm 5'10" and minidresses are just way too short for me. This is a really easy-to-wear dress shape, but the fun tiger print adds some personality. The animal print trend is here to stay, folks!"
Also available in more sizes.
"Midi skirts are my favorite thing to wear come spring and summer. I find them so fun to style and this one will pair perfectly with all of my white tanks."
