Spring is so close, and after months of layering up in the same winter staples, I’m more than ready for a wardrobe refresh. But as a self-proclaimed picky fashion editor, I don’t just add anything to my cart—it has to be good. Lucky for me (and my closet), I found the spring essentials actually worth buying right now.

After a month of being on a shopping pause—yes, I attempted a no-buy February—I’m all about smart, stylish purchases. And these picks? They pass the test. We’re talking a $45 lightweight jacket that’s perfect for breezy spring days, a pair of sexy boots that work for day or night, and the kind of easy dresses that make getting dressed so much easier.

So, if you’re also feeling the urge to swap winter layers for fresh spring finds, these editor-approved staples are 100% worth it.

Staple Boots That Elevate Any Outfit:

M.Gemi The Delfina

Red? Obsessed. Croc? Even better. So it’s no surprise that these ultra-sexy M.Gemi Defina boots are at the top of my wishlist. At $175, they’re an investment—but considering how comfy and long-lasting every M.Gemi shoe I own has been, they’re 100% worth it.

A Spring Essential:

Everlane The Midi Quilted Liner

Run, don’t walk—this Everlane quilted jacket is over $100 off and only $45. Lightweight yet weather-ready, it’s the perfect spring layer for those unpredictable rainy days.

Editor's Pick:

Reformation Clara Cashmere Crew Cardigan

This Reformation cashmere cardigan is so good, I’m snagging it in multiple colors. It’s lightweight yet cozy, making it the perfect layer for chilly mornings and warm afternoons.

A Trending Spring Staple:

Gap Mid Rise UltraSoft Baggy Jeans

These $56 sweatpant-like jeans are so soft and comfy, they might as well be loungewear. With a baggy silhouette and feel-good fabric, they’re the ultimate travel-day essential—and they’re selling fast.

A Cute Going Out Top:

Nordstrom Reformation Hester Corset Top

If it wasn’t obvious, a good

going-out top is a total must-have. After testing countless options—both budget-friendly and high-end—I can confidently say the Reformation corset top reigns supreme. It cinches the waist, lifts the girls, and comes in so many dreamy colors and designs.

A Base Layer:

Nordstrom Long Sleeve Matte Jersey Dress

Flowy, stretchy, and incredibly soft, this matte jersey dress makes the perfect base layer for any look you're going for. It's currently on sale for less than $65.

A Timeless Staple You'll Want to Wear Year-Round:

Madewell Pull-On Straight Pants in Crepe

A classic trouser that feels like pajamas? Say less. With a comfy stretch waistband, these pull-on pants are perfect for everything from errands to office days.

A Must-Have Accessory:

Madewell Triple Metal Keeper Belt

An editor fave, this leather belt is serving serious sophistication with its chunky metal buckle and triple keeper detail. With seven colors to choose from, it’s the effortless add-on your jeans and trousers need.

A Splurge-Worthy Handbag:

Polène Cyme Mini Edition Textured Black

I’ve tried them all, but I always find myself falling for the iconic Polène Cyme bag. Crafted from Italian textured calf leather, it’s a minimalist fashion staple that definitely deserves a spot in your year-round capsule wardrobe.

Spring Break Vacation Essential:

Montce Cream Raspberry Binded Petal Ruffle One-Piece

With dreamy ruffle details and a flattering fit, this Montce one-piece was made for spring getaways. The underwire demi cups, high-cut leg, and adjustable straps offer just the right mix of support and style.
