Summer may be around the corner, but the vibes of spring style are transitional this year. Especially in New York, where it’s been slightly colder than in past years at this time. I’ve been sporting more color than ever before and taking bold risks with the current staples in my closet. This year’s spring edit is designed to save you money and transition you right into the warm, lazy days of summer. Your edgy spring wardrobe essentials edit awaits you!
Edgy Spring Wardrobe Essentials
Pastels are having a loud moment this year, and I don’t see it stopping anytime soon. This season’s edit is all about finding transitional pieces that work across the spring and summer divide: ones that you’ll want to keep pulling for outfits for months to come. Layer a piece under a blazer when the temps dip or pair them with your favorite pair of shorts or skirt after the upcoming holiday weekend. My personal favorites are the designer-inspired pieces that give you an elevated look for a fraction of the cost.
Tops/Outerwear
These tops are designed to take your wardrobe to a new level of edge, without being overly trendy. Just because the temps are rising doesn’t mean you don’t need a solid outerwear option: these lightweight picks are perfect for the occasional rainy or overcast day.
Dresses
Neons are the new pastels; they hit hard. Wear them well past Memorial Day! You’ll also find some designer-inspired gems (cough: Loveshack Fancy lookalikes) in the mix as well.
Bottoms
Get a quality pair of jean shorts, and your wardrobe will thank you later. Pair these everyday edgy basics and statement pieces with everything you already own.
Footwear
Looking for designer styles without the insane price tag? Look no further. These sandals are not only cost-effective but comfortable to wear all day. Trust me, I did the legwork here in Manhattan. These babies ROCK.
Accessories
These designer-inspired pieces and everyday jewelry that doesn’t tarnish will help you level up your look for spring and summer! My personal faves are the everyday jewelry picks.
