Spring-weather is finally starting to peek its little head around the corner (at least in California), which means it’s time for a wardrobe refresh. While the changing of the seasons always puts me in the mood to shop (although…when am I not in the mood to shop?), there’s something special about the fresh-ness and new-ness of spring that gets me particularly excited. First thing’s first: a solid foundation of basics. This season I’m focusing on re-upping some closet staples like straight leg jeans and fitted white tees as well as adding in some trendier pieces a la stripe-y silk shorts and an elegant A-line dress. In keeping with the tone of the season, I tend to stick to soft and neutral hues, I know I’ll get more wear out each piece if I stick to this color palette as well.
To check out my full roundup, take a look below. I’ve sourced 28 must-have basics that will definitely put some *spring* in your step.
Cropped white jeans in a wide leg silhouette are the perfect balance of classic yet on-trend.
I’ll happily be doing my best Gilmore Girls impression in this
The seamed bodice and frayed hem seen here are the kinds of details that take a basic from simple to special.
These look triple the cost of what they are.
A classic trench is a must-have I’m pretty sure I don’t need to explain.
I’m embarrassed to say I’m new to Massimo Dutti, but so far I’m impressed!
I love wearing button-downs in warmer weather. This light blue one would look equally great over top a bathing suit or when you're headed into the office.
A black shift dress is one of the staples you’ll wear for many seasons to come.
If you haven’t heard, boho style is trending.
A cuffed jean is right up my alley this spring.
I have yet to be able to commit to a tube dress, but this just might be the one.
As the saying goes, there’s no outfit gold hoops can’t fix (alright, I said it).
Linen is my material of choice come spring.
Off the shoulder but on my radar.
I know, I know capris are divisive, but…I’m clearly on the pro side.
Throw these on for an immediate outfit pick-me-up.
I’ll be wearing these all summer long, thank you.

Trust me, you’ll wear this with everything.
I’ve recently come to realize that a fitted white t-shirt is a wardrobe non-negotiable.
Perfect for when the thermostat hits 70 plus.
Reminiscent of my favorite 90’s styles.
I’m a sweater girl and this one is great for when the weather starts getting too warm for my heavier knits.
Otherwise known as the sunglasses for fashion people.
Summer-fy your current blazer with one in linen.
I saw these in person and could’ve sworn they were vintage.
I have a pair of cream Mary-Janes from three years ago that I’m still wearing.
I’m willing to spend a little money when I know the cost per wear is low.
A little preppy, a lot sleek.
