On Wright: Citizens of Humanity shirt. “This is a favorite trend, and right now they’re absolutely everywhere! Look for short- or long-sleeved versions, solid or stripes—you can’t go wrong with any of these at the moment. Paired with denim or shorts or open over a dress, loose shirts are super chic and easy.”
On Wright: Avec Les Filles trench. “Trench coats are timeless and always in style. So adding a lighter-weight trench to your spring wardrobe is a smart addition. Wear with a simple white tee and faded denim for the perfect casual (and trending) outfit.”
On Wright: Paige denim. “Spring is the perfect time to include new denim silhouettes in lighter washes. Whether you’re going for faded denim, white, or écru, they all work. Prioritize updating your denim—it’s the easiest way to stay current.”
On Wright: Zimmermann dress. “Dresses are a top priority for spring! They’re feminine and pretty and super easy to wear to many events. Whether it’s running errands in flat sandals or dressed up for an event, dresses are a spring go-to.”
On Wright: Frame jacket. “Denim jackets are wardrobe staples, and introducing a newer silhouette will update all your spring outfits. Look for vintage styles with a little distressing or ones that are slightly oversized. You’ll wear them with everything.”
On Wright: Rails top. “A pretty white top and faded denim is a classic spring combo that always looks clean. Add a chic sandal and basket bag, and throw a simple white cardigan over your shoulders. You’ll be good to go.”
On Wright: Loewe tote and Saint Laurent sandals. “A good spring shoe/bag combo will complete every outfit. An example of this is a caramel-colored shoe and a straw bag—this color combination goes with almost every single outfit!”
