I’m Convinced These 30 Items Will Be the Backbone of My Spring 2023 Wardrobe

Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one Who What Wear team member or friend of the brand will share the top 30 fashion and beauty finds on their current wish list.

Yesterday was raining and freezing where I live but today is sunny and beautiful (albeit still freezing) and it’s put me in a big spring shopping mood. I find that the best way to approach shopping for a new season is to see what basics are missing in my wardrobe and start filling those holes with items that will make getting dressed easier when the new season arrives, so that’s what I’m here to do.

For spring 2023, I’m all about classic pieces with a modern twist, and brands have already begun releasing plenty of those for spring, so let’s shop. Scroll for my most-wanted spring wardrobe builders. (Maybe if we order some we’ll spring to arrive sooner…)  

I insist you click through to see how cute this is on.

It’s not a boring black tank top—it’s a fun black tank top.

I didn’t know that I needed a pair of belted stirrup leggings but now I definitely do.

I predict these will become the most-worn shorts in my closet.

I’m very much into this color combo.

Size up in this for the fashion-girl oversized look.

I would style this exactly like so.

I’ll be saving up for this.

I can’t wait to wear this with sneakers.

Silver shoes are happening, and this pair is so easy to wear.

This is a great striped shirt, plain and simple.

This color couldn’t be more perfect for spring.

I’m really into this color right now and think you should be too.

This is the type of piece you’ll reach for on a daily basis.

I found the perfect spring outfit, and it’s only $65.

It’s spendy, but worth it based on how much you’ll wear it.

I’m ready for a lighter wash.

This will look cool under every jacket and button-down you own.

I want this great button-down in every color.

For those spring days when you don’t need a jacket but you need something.

This will be great for throwing on under a blazer.

I wear jeans a lot, but I’d ditch them for these.

This is the kind of necklace I’d choose entire outfits around.

I look forward to wearing sheer tights without freezing this spring.

If your size is still in stock, consider yourself lucky.

Spring calls for a new pair of sunglasses.

I’m looking forward to pairing these with pretty spring colors.

The initial reviews on Nordstrom for this new blazer are quite good.

If your goal is looking like you just stepped off of the Miu Miu runway, this one’s for you.

Given that silver and cuff bracelets are back, I think I’d be wise to order this.

Next, 30 birthday gifts anyone would love to unwrap.
