I Keep Wearing This Spring Collection Over and Over (and You Should as Well)

      Welcome to Before I Head Out, a monthly series where fashion editor Anneliese Henderson shares photos of her favorite outfits right before leaving her Los Angeles home. You know that feeling when you put on an article of clothing and can immediately tell it looks great, even without a mirror? It’s not something that happens every day. Often, I’ll take an item out of the box only to realize it’s not what I imagined, or I’ll zip up a pair of jeans and find they don’t fit the same as they did on the model. However, when I tried on the pieces from PAIGE's spring collection, each one was a winner. The style, fit, and fabric—all felt almost too good to be true.

      The collection aligns perfectly with my style: sophisticated, timeless, and easy to wear. It offers something for everyone, featuring essential straight-leg jeans and white minidresses. As the temperatures rise, I’ve been trying out all the pieces and gathering compliments along the way.

      When I first encountered the term "gaucho," I was instantly reminded of my favorite fifth-grade outfit: gauchos, a tee with a monkey, and sneakers. However, these are nothing like my middle school gauchos. Introducing the most stylish pair of shorts I’ve ever had; a laid-back piece that effortlessly enhances any look. I’ve already paired them with various items, but my favorite combination is with this semi-sheer top. Not only is it one of the hottest trends, but it also offers the ideal mix of style and practicality for warm days.

      As someone who stands at 5'9", I don’t usually wear minidresses. I dislike worrying about exposing too much leg or having my dress rise while I walk. But this minidress is just right. It's long enough for the office yet can also be paired with a fun heel for a date night. The fabric is a lovely lightweight cotton blend that feels soft against the skin.

      Regarding office outfits, this one has become my new favorite. There’s just something special about wearing white jeans in the spring, and this barrel-leg style is *chef’s kiss.* Anyone who knows me recognizes my deep affection for barrel-leg jeans, but the fit must be perfect. These check all the boxes: they are long enough, just the right amount of baggy, and sit perfectly on the hips. When teamed with this ultra-chic vest (also available in white!) and some casual sandals, these are jeans I’d wear every day… as long as I’m not labeled an outfit repeater.

      Not all jean jackets are made alike, and this PAIGE jacket exemplifies that. Its cropped—but not overly cropped—fit feels fresh for spring and will be essential during cooler mornings and evenings.

      I'm a fan of classic styles, and nothing is more timeless than a well-fitted blazer, straight-leg jeans, and a black tee. I know I will wear these pieces for years, whether styled as shown or combined with other items in my wardrobe. They are the essentials that coordinate with everything.
