The official start of spring is only nine days away, and if you couldn't guess, this NYC-based editor is excited. Aside from the prospect of warmth, sunlight, and an instant mood shift across the city, there's also so much to look forward to in terms of dressing. Goodbye, winter boots; hello, exposed ankles. Say so long to your gloves and beanies, and give a warm welcome to fun statement accessories you get to throw on just because. Put away that Uniqlo Heattech and bust out the crop tops. Do you get where I'm going with this?
Anyway, with so little time left until the equinox, I figured you might need some help getting that warm-weather wardrobe sorted out. Missing an essential? On the hunt for some trendy finishing touches? Maybe you need nothing, but that's never stopped you from shopping in the first place. Whatever boat you're in, today, I've got you covered with a whopping 49 spring-ready finds under $49, all of which are editor approved and highly endorsed for the months ahead. To get started shopping my picks, simply keep scrolling.
