Putting together great outfits gets so much easier when you have the right basics in your closet. These are the spring staples I reach for over and over to build simple, polished looks. If you have these pieces, you can mix and match endless outfits without overthinking it.
Every season, I like to take a step back and focus on the pieces that actually make getting dressed easier. Instead of constantly buying new outfits, having a handful of solid staples allows you to create multiple looks with very little effort. This spring, I’m leaning on classic, versatile pieces that can be dressed up or down and styled in different ways. I pulled together this graphic to show you exactly what I mean, these are the items that help you build outfits you’ll actually wear.
Spring Wardrobe Staples
1. Aritzia White T-Shirt
This is my longtime favorite basic white tee that is not cropped and not see-through. I wear a size small!
2. Madewell Cream Perfect Vintage Jeans
The perfect cream jeans that are so comfy. I’m in my normal size 26!
3. J. Crew Factory Cropped Trench CoatÂ
A trench coat that’s the perfect length. Not too cropped, and not long. Don’t size up, I’m in an XS.

My MOST worn everyday bag. Holds everything, zips close, comes with a shoulder & crossbody strap. I have both the large and mini size!
