Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
When the weather’s feeling blah, I turn to the one thing that never fails to lift my spirits: spring fashion. I scroll through my old photos from April to September—take in the tan lines, golden-hour spritzes, and beach days—and immediately, I’m back in my warm-weather element. Luckily, one of the perks of living in L.A. is that a rogue 75-degree day could come at any time, so my camera roll, Saved folder, and Notes app are bursting with outfit ideas for the sunny days ahead. I’ve found some real gems, and I’m dangerously close to hitting “order” on more than a few of them (okay fine, some have already made it to my doorstep). Ahead, I’m sharing all the joyful little fashion finds that are getting me excited for spring, including affordable sandals that I’ll wear on repeat and Carrie Bradshaw–coded shirts practically made for city strolls.
Banana Republic
Viscose-Linen Maxi Dress
Nothing screams warmer weather quite like a breezy white maxi dress. It’s my go-to look for sunny days.
Banana Republic
Sculpted Ribbed Strapless Top
I’m swapping my everyday black tube top for this red one.
Amoy New York
The Harlow Jacket in Brown Pinstripe
Oh, the incredibly chic jacket I’m wearing in my outfit above? It’s this one. I’ve never received so many compliments on a piece of clothing.
Banana Republic
The White Lotus Linen Mini Dress
This is begging to be added to your suitcase for your next vacation.
adidas
Supernova Ease Shoes
Warmer days mean more walks outside… which means I need a cute and comfortable pair of tennis shoes to wear while I wander around the city. These will do just the trick.
adidas
Adidas Heritage Tennis Classic Skirt
My fellow tennis girls, I’ve found our next new obsession.
Toteme
Woven Stripe Sleeveless A-Line Dress
Can you tell I have a thing for wearing dresses when the weather heats up?
Steve Madden
Riggs Banana Leather Wide Calf
I love the idea of pairing these boots with a flowy minidress or a skirt like the Free People one above. Whether you’re exploring the desert or meeting a friend for lunch, you’ll feel chic AF.
Free People
We the Free High Top Wide Crop Jeans
I’ve been on a hunt for the perfect long shorts. These might be the ones.
Mango
Zebra-Print Linen-Blend Vest
Sometimes I want to be in all neutrals, and other times I want to wear full-on zebra print. There is no in-between.
Dries Van Noten
Shake Stretch Silk Satin Skirt
It’s giving Carrie Bradshaw. Add a little crop top and kitten heels and you’re good to go.
Mango
Cotton Trench Coat With Belt
I’m moving to New York in just a few short weeks, and I know rain is inevitable. I might as well wear a chic trench while I’m getting drenched on my walk to the subway.
Steve Madden
Kittie Bone Patent
A spring wardrobe needs a good pair of white kitten heels. This Steve Madden pair looks way more expensive than it actually is.
