10 Spring Wardrobe Essentials
By Grace Owen (Styling Assistant)
As the warmer weather pulls us out of our houses and into the great big world we are given outfit opportunity galore. With each new season comes a new set of trends that are all the rage - but some things never change. We all know the importance of the classics, the staple items in our closet that just make everything make sense. Here are 10 closet essentials that will carry you through this spring
Go to Denim
Spring, summer, fall, you can not avoid it, the beloved pair of jeans. The jeans you throw on with every accent tee-shirt and what you look for when your quickly running out of the house. I know how hard it is to get that perfect pair, but once you have it, they are unbeatable. Don’t be afraid to try many different pairs out - it’s all about the journey! Bellow is a pair I recommend due to its quality as a pair of Levi’s and it’s looser fit.

Chic Sneaker
We have come a long way in the sneaker world no longer are there few options reserved for the gym. Now days we have embraced the comfort and duality of the sneaker bringing us to - the chic sneaker. I typically lean towards neutral colors so they pair with everything but a pop of color is a great spring touch!

Silk Scarf
Silk scarfs have been increasingly popular over the last few years but have always been a spring classic. Not only are they multifunctional - wear as a hair accessory, around your neck, as a belt, etc. - but they also come in loads of playful styles perfect for adding personality to any outfit.

The Trench
When I think of spring I immediately think of the trench coat as a classic staple. You can never go wrong having one of these in your closet for the cooler days or to add a layer of class to your outfit. Perfect to pair with a silk scarf like the one above!

The Loafer
Another all time classic that has been increasingly popular is the menswear inspired loafer. Ranging in style and heel size loafers have been all over the market and for a reason. They complete an outfit perfectly in the way that boots or heels could not. Having a pair of these in your closet is essential!

Sleeveless Sweater
Warm weather is on the way but the cooler days and nights remain. Along with a classic tee it is perfect to have a basic layering sleeveless sweater as well.

Classic Crossbody
We are out and about these days. While on the move it is important to have a hands free bag by our side, the classic crossbody. A neutral colored crossbody is functional in any season and is a great investment to add to your rotation.
