If there's one thing my girlfriends and I have been debriefing about recently, it's our predictable closets. We're all in the mood to reinvent our style this spring and summer, and we each have a growing wish list of items. Our top priority is finding new wardrobe pieces that elevate our outfits while still feeling really wearable. Enter John Elliott: a fashion-editor favorite for chic closet essentials inspired by minimalism and versatility. By incorporating elements from the '90s with nods to current trends, the collection effortlessly spotlights wardrobe staples that are fresh and elevated. Here are the 16 items my friends and I are shopping to develop our new spring and summer aesthetic.
