Spring's fickle weather can be difficult to get dressed for, but my stylish coworkers have cracked the code. Every time I see them on Instagram or IRL in the office, I can't help but ask where they are getting their pieces. Lately, I've noticed that my coworkers have been opting to wear basics more often than not. Now, my colleagues know how to dress for the weather. They know about the woes of chilly mornings and hot afternoons, which is why I had to know which basics they've been depending on this season.
Dive into the pieces my coworkers have already been wearing in and out of the office, from trusty tees and easy tank tops to chic sandals and breathable boots. These are the fashion items they are swearing by for spring. Keep scrolling to shop each editor's recent purchases.

"You can't go wrong with espresso-colored pumps."
"For those post-beach dinners."
"Dress this up with a pair of strappy heels or down with two-tone flip-flops."

"The khaki-denim trend has reached shorts, and this pair was one of my first warm-weather purchases of the year. Thanks to their length and color, they're the most polished-looking cutoff shorts I own."
"This elevated tank is even better in person, and it's such a chic swap for a ribbed scoop-neck tank."
"I love a good striped tee, and Kallmeyer's Kenzie T-Shirts are particularly cool. They're nice and lightweight, so I'll still be reaching for this one on those 95-degree days to come."

"I'm obsessed with CDLP for basics. Everything the brand makes is so comfortable."
"Ever since I got my first Cou Cou pointelle piece last spring, it's been one of my go-to brands for warm-weather basics. The entire line is incredibly lightweight and breathable."
"I wear my black cashmere cardigan constantly in the springtime. Even in the summer, I like keeping it on hand for when the AC is blasting inside."

"I've repurchased this in multiple colors because I think it's the best tank on the market."
"If you also hate skinny jeans, you need to add these to your rotation as the perfect cool-girl swap."

"I'm not a big animal-print girl, but I love stripes. I think this zebra tank in this neutral colorway will go with so much."
"I like elevated flip-flops for the warmer months. The square toe is everything."
"J.Crew makes great T-shirts! I like to have black tees ready to go because they're perfect for hiding sweat."

"These sunglasses are back in stock after reaching viral sell-out status but not for long. Trust me—they're that good."
"While I can't imagine I'll veto my heeled thong sandals anytime soon, I just got this pair of sleek wedges that I can't wait to style this summer."

"I love this pair of sporty glasses. I'd style them with a baby-doll dress or something Sandy Liang–esque for a sporty-girly contrast."

"I've convinced all of my friends that they need this top. It fits so well and feels more elevated than a regular tee."
"I brought these on my recent trip to Copenhagen and wore them with everything from white jeans to black trousers."

"You can't go wrong with a basic-tee restock, especially when they go for just $13 apiece. I love how versatile these classic tanks are, and I appreciate that the racerback back is wide enough to conceal most bra/bralette straps. I'm already styling them with everything from low-rise midi skirts to work blazers."
"I don't get influenced easily, but a friend recently recommended these after my years-long favorite linen pants got ruined on a bike ride in the Hamptons last summer. (Don't ever let your hems drag along the tires, ladies!) I searched high and low for the right pair—relaxed fit without being too baggy, drawstring closure, breezy fabric, invisible pockets, the works.
"This pair checked every box and then some. However, I do recommend getting the short pair if you're even slightly on the edge of 5'3". I had to get the regular size because it was all my local store had before a trip, and I definitely need to break out my flip-flop kitten heels so I don't damage yet another hemline."
