Keep reading to discover the 10 smartest items to buy this April, ranging from refined accessories to essentials, plus the trendiest pants favored by chic dressers this month.
Tailored Shorts
Forget about cutoffs—this season, I’m on the hunt for tailored shorts that work just as well for a sophisticated brunch as they do for a day at the beach. My top picks are linen and poplin shorts with finished hems and either pleated or flat fronts.
- J.Crew: Lucia Short in Stretch Linen Blend
- Posse: Rosalie Linen Shorts
Woven Leather Bag
The allure of a woven leather bag lies in its versatility for every season and its ability to elevate your outfits to look more luxurious. It’s also a step up from a traditional raffia bag.
- Madewell: The Handwoven Leather Shoulder Bag
- Dragon Diffusion: Rosanna Bag
- St. Agni: Brown Woven Petit Arc Bag
Lightweight Blazer
A blazer is among my preferred "jackets" for spring, and you’ll definitely find an abundance of them in the closets of those with good taste.
- Massimo Dutti: 100% Linen Flecked Blazer
- COS: Regular Longline Linen-Blend Blazer
Satin Skirt
One of the standout skirt trends this season is satin skirts—especially those adorned with lace. They pair beautifully with the aforementioned lightweight blazer.
- THE ROW: Irene Silk Slip Skirt
- J.Crew: Gwen Lace-Trim Slip Skirt in Textured Satin
- Nordstrom: Lace Trim Bias Cut Midi Skirt
Flat Leather Sandals
This is the month when I start thinking about sandals. The first style I'll be investing in this year is a new pair of flat leather sandals, as they're the type I wear most often.
- Nordstrom: Babette Slide Sandals
- A.Emery: Kinto Leather Sandals
Boatneck Tank
Boatneck tank tops represent the most sophisticated tank style available. While crewneck tanks are lovely, they can’t compare to these.
- ÉTERNE: Iris Ribbed Stretch-Cotton and Modal-Blend Jersey Tank
- Reformation: Dusk Knit Top
Pull-On Linen Pants
Linen pants tend to sell out quickly every year once the temperatures rise, so it’s a good idea to grab them now. You'll find them useful until about October.
- H&M: Linen Drawstring Pants
- Reformation: Olina Linen Pants
White Dress
White dresses are another item that often sells out fast. Savvy shoppers understand that the most popular styles will go quickly, so now is the time to place your order.
- Reformation: Kaya Linen Dress
Chino Baseball Cap
One of my favorite accessories this season is a chino baseball cap, like the Polo Ralph Lauren style that Kendall Jenner and many others adore.
- Polo Ralph Lauren: Chino Sport Cap in Nubuck/Navy
- Sporty & Rich: LA Baseball Cap
- Polo Ralph Lauren: Chino Sport Cap in Carson Blue/Adirondack Navy
Pastel Shirt
While white button-downs are definitely a staple, this season, pastel button-downs are highly sought after. Consider hues like pale pink, butter yellow, mint green, and baby blue.
- Favorite Daughter: Ex-Boyfriend Solid Button-Up Shirt in Ballet Slipper
- J.Crew: Étienne Oversized Shirt in Lightweight Oxford in Blue Eoe
- Polo Ralph Lauren: Relaxed-Fit Cotton Oxford Shirt in Wicket Yellow
