With a new season on the horizon, I can’t help but feel the urge to do a closet refresh, even if it’s with just a few standout pieces. But the question is whether I should focus on elevated basics or lean into my favorite trends. Perhaps, I should do a little of both or even pick pieces that overlap. I am not in short supply of inspiration either. As a fashion and shopping editor, I keep a constant eye on the new arrivals sections at retailers across the internet.
My latest perusal ended with a variety of things in my size (size 14) catching my eye, and it’s taking all I have not to add every last item to my cart. I found cool jeans, pretty skirts and dresses I can wear all season long, a classic black swimsuit with great coverage, and elevated layers, including a cool belted denim jacket and a contrast stitch trench coat. Ahead, check out 30 stylish picks to shop for this season and beyond.
