At the top of the spring season, I'm already charting out my wardrobe for the upcoming transitional months. As pieces begin to trickle in, I've been scrolling through the latest arrivals at some of my most frequented retailers—including Net-a-Porter, Nordstrom, and Zara—to see all of the latest drops.

My approach to shopping for the upcoming season includes investing in a foundation of seasonal staples to wear on repeat as well as directional pieces that tap into what is new in fashion. I'm ready to embrace everything from delicate lace-trimmed tops and fresh sunglass silhouettes to versatile kitten heels and car coats. I'll also be incorporating new-in bags, including styles like the Balenciaga Rodeo and the Versace Pivot. Ahead, see the pieces I would recommend shopping first in 2026.
