15 Simple Items That Make Our Closets Feel Current
While there is certainly a time and a place for those bold and eclectic finds, there is also something to be said about the more pared-down pieces.

Below, you'll uncover a trove of items that are versatile (ahem, easy to style) and have fashion-forward twists. As a preview, you'll find everything from pretty throw-on-and-go dresses to chic accessories that could easily become part of your weekly rotation.

"Last year, basically all I wore were minidresses and skirts, completely ignoring any longer styles. But for one reason or another, this year, I'm steering in the opposite direction and, thus, had to invest in a really good maxi dress to ride out the rest of winter in. This Who What Wear Collection dress is perfect. It's heavy but not too heavy, the neckline is gorgeous on, and the pleats are so elevated. I also think the fawn color makes the dress more spring-ready, which I need right now."
"I just got this bag a few days ago, and I've already started using it on a daily basis. It surprisingly fits so much stuff, which is perfect for someone like me who can't leave the house without everything from hand lotion to facial spray. The strap is a great length, in that it fits snugly under your arm but isn't so tight that you can't carry it with a coat. Plus, it's seriously cute and costs under $70."
"With a ton of positive reviews, I don't think I can pass up these easy boots that will get me through spring. Also, the front-zip style reminds me of some boots from The Row, but at a more digestible price point."
"I've been updating my jeans and pant selection lately, opting for looser and longer styles over their tight, cropped counterparts."
"When I easily swap these in for a pair of blue jeans, my look instantly feels current. No matter what top you pair with these pants, you're guaranteed to look good. My personal pairing of choice is a forward sweater."
"This item might have some Y2K nostalgia to it, but it's making my closet feel very right now. A good pair of on-trend sunglasses always does."
"If I had $1 for every time I've worn these shoes over the past couple of months, I'd be able to buy another pair. They're my throw-them-on-and-go shoes, but the bonus is that they're actually cool and on-trend."
"I wear this baseball cap all the time. It has a sheen to it that dresses it up a bit, and the subtle logo is a nice touch."
"I didn't need yet another ribbed tank top, but how could I pass this one up? I'm a sucker for a cool detail, so the pearl embellishments on this tank's sweetheart neckline sealed the deal for me. I've also been eyeing this similar style from the cool French brand."
"I pretty much live in button-downs these days, and this style from HommeGirls is perfection."
"My closet feels so much more complete now that this leather skirt is in it. The buttery faux leather makes even casual outfits feel so polished and luxe."
"I've been living in this quarter-zip sweater lately. I love how the knit fabric feels heavy and buttery. It's honestly much more luxurious than I'd assume given its $109 price tag."
"I'm basically living in oversize white button-downs at the moment. It's an elevated basic that makes my outfits feel all the more modern."
"You just can't go wrong with a solid pair of relaxed jeans right now to give off that of-the-moment, casual vibe."
