Every fashion editor abides by one shopping motto: The best pieces can be found anywhere. You can stumble upon the perfect pair of designer shoes on sale or find a trendy handbag secondhand. In short, you never know what you’ll find, so you have to be willing to search. And while there are many great places to find gems (what would we do without Nordstrom?), Free People is the one not-so-obvious place our editors swear by for finding the best pieces. Yes, the stereotype around this retailer is bohemian-inspired dresses and cowboy boots, but it offers so much more than that. I can’t tell you how often my colleagues or I have worn something from Free People and garnered serious compliments and inquiries about where we got the piece. You can find some seriously luxe pieces that lend themselves well to becoming springtime staples. Need proof? Ahead, I scoured through the site to find the 40 best new arrivals worth buying right now. From classic suiting to maxi dresses, your new favorite piece just might be at Free People.
