I always get that wardrobe-refresh itch around this time of year. Although I always try to stick to the "one piece in, one piece donated" rule when it comes to updating my clothing collection, this past year I’ve tried to be stricter with myself by only purchasing items that offer longevity for future seasons. That being said, I’m also a trend-loving Gen Z-er, which means I have to be super picky about curating a go-to elevated wardrobe that features a good mix of pieces that are both on-trend and timeless. Take the much-hyped blue, striped pajama pants for example—even though I’ve been seeing them all over my socials, they have the potential to make a great wardrobe addition thanks to their versatility and wearability throughout the summer months, year after year.

This past month, I’ve ordered a few warm-weather items that I know will remain evergreen staples in my wardrobe, including a chic cropped trench from & Other Stories, striped linen trousers and a versatile pair of UGG Golden Glow sandals. Fashion-forward? Yes. Set to last? Also yes.
Amaka Hamelijnck showcases her blue, striped trousers with a strapless, ribbed top and a relaxed-fit blazer.
So, whether you’re into classic pastels and florals for spring or you find yourself opting for a pared-back palette and minimalist silhouettes, it’s my job to share some of the Gen Z-approved styles that are fitting for this time of year.
