Is anyone in need of some shopping inspiration? Well, nobody asked, but I'm certainly delivering anyway. With a dizzying number of new pieces hitting the market, it can be downright intimidating to peruse what's out there in the hopes of making a little wardrobe update. But that's where I come in, friends. On a typical day, I do some online browsing to highlight the very best shopping picks of the moment, so today, I'm taking it a step further by showing you what we're personally adding to our closets and including some inspirational outfit photos.

There's no doubt our editors are a stylish bunch. (I look to their Instagrams for my own style ideas.) So when I tell you these new tops, dresses, shoes, and bags are it, I think you'll agree. Keep scrolling for the new fashion favorites we added to our closets in February—from the Zara skirt I found that's a new F/W 2023 trend to Jasmine's moto boots. These are spring's top-notch picks, according to us.

Loewe's puzzle bag is one of those designer items that sits at the perfect intersection of functional, timeless, and exciting. For years, it's consistently ranked high on the wish lists of fashion people (myself included) and with the arrival of this update giving it a thicker strap and slouchier look, it's fresher than ever. I was excited to give it a spin for NYFW but ended up wearing it on repeat with all my everyday outfits, too. If you're looking to make an investment that's cool today and in ten years, look no further.

You heard it here first: large drop earrings are the new It accessory. This pair is a mere $38, but people assume they're designer and I'll admit that I'm not quick to correct them. 

My favorite sunglass brand Lexxola just dropped a new style, the Lulu, and they instantly became the coolest pair I own. They feel like a modern answer to those viral retro aviators we were all obsessed with a few years ago but the rounded shape makes them not quite as literal and therefore more likely to withstand the trend cycle.

Run, don't walk, to buy this beautiful balloon skirt. Trust me—it won't be in stock for very long. I snagged it along with the matching blazer within minutes of eyeing it on Zara's site and when I just checked it again, certain sizes were already dwindling. Full skirts are a bubbling trend we saw on the runways at Prada, Bottega Veneta, and Brandon Maxwell—and multiple WWW editors are already backing it. I can't wait to continue styling mine in different ways. Up next? With kitten heels and a crew-neck sweater.

"For fashion week, I knew I needed to hop on the red-tights train after one too many times seeing them pop up on my curated Pinterest feed. Thankfully, unlike other colorful accessories that can border on gimmicky, red tights were easy to find and way under my price range. I snagged a pair of these on Amazon for under $20 after combing through reviews. They didn’t snag, rip, or run despite putting them through the gutter throughout the week. Consider me obsessed."

"I'm one to be easily influenced. Case in point? This Toteme sweater lookalike that my TikTok algorithm served up to me. I loved it so much that I bought two, but the black and white striped turtleneck I wear more often is on sale now. Not only is it incredibly elevated and perfect for nearly all of my spring outfits, but it looks 10 times more expensive than it actually is. Paired with my white bell-bottom jeans from 7 for All Mankind, I've probably worn this outfit pictured at least three times in one week. Sorry, not sorry."

Erin Fitzpatrick, Associate Fashion News Director

"I love these new Old Navy jeans I just bought. Full-length, wide-leg jeans are very much on-trend and this pair proves that you don't have to spend a fortune to nail the vibe. Plus, at 5'10", I'm grateful that Old Navy has tall sizing!"

Jasmine Fox-Suliaman, Fashion Editor

"Since Miu Miu showed moto boots in their F/W 22 collection, I've been pinning after getting my own pair. But I knew I wanted to find a more affordable alternative and spent months searching for the right style until I stumbled upon this pair from Steve Madden. What I love about these boots is that they're so comfortable (I ran around NYFW in them) and look so much more expensive than they actually are."

"I just got these Jenny Bird earrings, and I've been wearing them non-stop. Since getting them, I have people come up to me and compliment me—they're truly the best."

Eliza Huber, Fashion Editor

"I've been searching for a sort of Victorian-looking velvet top for what feels like forever and after being priced out of a 2019 style from Khaite, I discovered this equally stunning A.L.C. alternative on sale. It has a corset-like bodice with internal boning and structure but remains surprisingly comfortable."

"I've never gotten so many compliments on a blazer in my entire life. Cropped and cool, this Zara piece is a must-buy."

"Liberowe is one of those old-world chic brands that could only come out of the U.K. Their pieces are all delicately made and crafted to perfection, including this red peplum velvet jacket that I've had my eye on for months."

Bobby Schuessler, Market Director

"These carpenter pants are cool and are a nice alternative to standard jeans from time to time."

"I am in my loafer phase right now. I'm wearing a variety of styles on repeat. I just added this pair of gorgeous suede loafers to my rotation."

"I recently got this Saint Laurent brooch on Italist. While I got it at a great price on the site, it's definitely an investment piece. That said, it has strong cost per wear because I actually wear it multiple times per week to elevate my basics even more. I add it to everything from sweaters to T-shirts to coats."

"This printed puffer is feeding my pattern-mixing obsession. The dynamic combination of the graphic black and white print with the colorful stripes is *chef's kiss.* Not to mention, at least one person stops me every time I wear it."

"This bag has now convinced me that everyone needs a floral bag for spring and summer. I can't wait to style this with all of my sundresses or with a simple T-shirt and denim shorts. Plus, the medium size of this handbag gives the perfect amount of space."

Yusra Siddiqui, Associate Fashion Editor

"I never thought in my wildest dreams I'd pull the plug on purchasing a Khaite cardigan anytime soon, but when you have a gift card and the cardigan goes on super-sale, what else do you do? (I purchased the cardigan at a high discount at Nordstrom, but I was able to find one still in stock at Farfetch.) I've already put together at least five outfits and know I can come up with many more. It was the perfect sweater for a slightly chilly day in New York, is incredibly soft, and the constant compliments it brings don't hurt either."

"I have been on the hunt for a stylish work bag for a long time, and that hunt has finally ended. Banana Republic's latest drops have been stunning, and I kept seeing their Viva tote in both stories and social media posts. The Italian suede is soft, and it easily fits my laptop, makeup bag, lunchbox, and other miscellaneous essentials. It also has a thicker strap which doesn't cause as much strain on my shoulder as other tote bags have done. Plus, it looks good with my outfits, so it's a win-win situation."

"Finding the perfect fit jeans is not always an easy feat and I've been looking for a pair of long and loose denim to tap into this year's baggy jeans trend. The mid-waist wide fit from Closed has quickly become one of my favorites! Not only does the silhouette feel perfectly on-trend but they're also supremely soft and comfortable. And it has the perfect vintage wash. I've been styling them with pointed-toe slingbacks and elevated basics for work and with casual tees and sneakers on the weekend."

"While I'll never give up my gold jewelry, I'm really into striking silver pieces right now. I've always been a fan of Spanish brand UNOde50 and when I saw these unique silver earrings I had to have them. They're easy enough to wear day or night."

Sierra Mayhew, Associate Fashion Editor

"Metallic is the long-forgotten trend that is seriously having a comeback right now. I went all in on it with this suit comprised of two separate pieces that both screamed Metallica. I had been looking for a pair of silver pants for quite some time so finding them fully stocked at Maje was a pleasant surprise and the fit is so flattering. The classic double-breasted blazer is the ultimate party girl uniform and while I styled it as a suit, I'm dying to wear it next over a mini dress or with a sequin skirt for a night out."

"Right now, my goal is to implement timeless wardrobe staples that have something that makes them stand out and this skirt from Staud is just that. The delicate seaming means it looks different from every other denim skirt on the market. I'm already seeing knee-length silhouettes on the runways in Europe so looks like I'm working ahead."

"We're getting closer to spring but it's still cold outside. Regardless, I am looking for ways to adopt spring elements into my wardrobe and color is one of the many avenues I'm considering. This belt is the easiest way to make a boring outfit instantly more fun. I am not over the obsession with green that has been going on as of late."
