I Fell Down an Urban Outfitters Rabbit Hole—Here Are 26 Items That Caught My Eye

by Ray Lowe

As a fashion-centric writer, I spend a lot of my waking hours online shopping. While I would prefer to consider my time spent scrolling through pages of new arrivals as strictly "research," I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a tendency to add a few things to my cart every so often. Which is how I ended up spending a little over two hours on Urban Outfitters the other day followed by a whopping 26 items sitting in my cart. What started out as a curious dive into Urban's newest arrivals resulted in having 42+ tabs open on my web browser. I figured that any collection that made me impulsively click on the shopping-cart button for so many items is worth sharing.

So to justify my hours-long tumble down an Urban Outfitters rabbit hole, I'm now penning a story about it. (Guess I've never outgrown my old mall-crawl.) Unlike many of its counterparts, UO is always keeping up with the ever-changing fashion landscape. Urban is also a great resource for discovering up-and-coming indie designers. However, the real purpose of this story is to showcase the spring goodies I can't stop thinking about. Keep scrolling to see all of the new spring arrivals that I instinctively know are worth the buy.

Project Social T Pointelle Polo Tee ($34)

This comes in two colors. I will be buying both, thank you very much.

Urban Outfitters Croc Baguette Bag ($39)

I'm still not over the baguette-bag trend, and lucky for me, neither is Urban.

BDG Blaine High-Waisted Skate Jean ($69)

Do you know that one thing you have far too many of in your closet? For me, that's baggy carpenter-inspired jeans.

Urban Outfitters Chunky Figaro Chain Necklace ($32)

I would have bought this even if they didn't add that alluring KiraKira-like filter.

Urban Outfitters Wonderland Tie-Back Babydoll Dress ($79)

I can't believe 2020 has me reinvested in the babydoll dress.

Urban Outfitters Rerra Bungee Paperbag Short ($49)

These bungee paperbag shorts are the thing I never knew I needed until today.

Urban Outfitters Calf Hair Circle Buckle Belt ($29)

Moo-ve over, plain old black belts. It's time to introduce this cow print one into my wardrobe.

Nike Nike Court Blanc Sneaker ($75)

I've just begun to retire my plain white Air Force 1s. This orange detailed pair of Nike's Court Blanc style is the perfect replacement.

Camper Kaah High Boot ($250)

Dare I call these the 2020 version of go-go boots?

Only Hearts Ombre Mesh Wrap Top ($80)

Shop the matching Ombre Mesh Boyshort ($40).

Give me all the super-fun lingerie!

Faithfull the Brand Hanna Mini Tote Bag ($89)

This granny-esque wallpaper print gives this knotted tote a pretty vintage vibe.

House of Sunny High-Waisted Flare Pant ($98)

These pants aren't for the faint of heart, which makes me love them that much more.

Urban Outfitters Straw Bell Hat ($39)

All I've wanted since watching Greta Gerwig's version of Little Women is a ribbon-tie straw hat to fit right in with the March sisters during their beach scene.

Urban Outfitters Daisy Chain Earring ($18)

These delicate daisies will definitely do.

Crās Luciacras Tiered Frock Dress ($170)

I've got the perfect pair of Western-inspired boots waiting at home for this fun frock.

Baggu Standard Reusable Tote Bag ($12)

This smiley face bag is a simple way to make my day that much brighter.

Aila Blue Capri Ruffle Bikini Top ($97)

Shop the matching Isla Ruffle Bikini Bottom ($86).

Any square-neck bikini top is a must-have in my book.

C/Meo Collective Hereafter Zip-Front Mini Dress ($240)

Sometimes a retailer's styling can make all the difference. While the two-part dress is cool on its own, the fact that it can look this good while styled with a pair of Palladium boots really sells it.
