These Elevated, Under-$70 Staples Are the Keys to Winning Spring

A fitted black dress might be the most versatile piece you can buy right now. Wear it with tall boots and a coat like our editor Eliza Huber, or style it with sneakers and a quilted coat when the days warm up.

If you haven't already, now's the time to get into the cargo pants trend. Despite its current popularity, you'll be able to wear this trend for seasons to come.

Overall this piece is pretty classic, but the addition of an acid-wash material and a belted waist upgrades the silhouette.

The delicate collar adds extra dimension.

Style it over a poplin button-down now and wear it as is later down the line.

So good we suggest buying this in this dreamy shade of cream too.

The exaggerated ruffles feel decidedly expensive.

Here's another print to consider this spring.

The preppy trend is going strong in 2022, and thankfully, it still has classic appeal.

How beautiful is this coat?!

Split hems adds character to an otherwise simple pair of pants.

A top like this will work with anything from jeans to skirts.

For lazy days, an elevated sweatsuit is key.

These pants are a winner all on their own.
