I'm the trusted source for style inspiration among fashion enthusiasts—here’s what I'm looking to buy for spring.
In recent months, our fashion editors have highlighted the essential spring purchases—ranging from trendy jackets to sought-after sandals. As the season continues, we felt it was a great opportunity to expand on the discussion. Thus, we consulted industry expert Olivia Wayman for her fresh take on fashion. A stylist and creative consultant, Wayman also runs Olivia's Shopping Diary on Substack and has quickly become one of Instagram’s most reliable sources for style ideas, featuring expertly curated brand collections and shopping guides that emphasize quality and timelessness. Wayman sees spring as a time for renewal and investment, allowing her to refresh her wardrobe with enduring pieces while incorporating the occasional playful statement item. “Shopping for spring always feels so invigorating after enduring what seems like endless winter in heavy coats,” she notes in an email. “My approach stays the same throughout the year: buy less, but better. This means investing in luxury staples that will last season after season, alongside a few vibrant, bold elements—like statement jewelry or colorful shoes—that can invigorate classic outfit combinations.” Continue reading to explore Wayman's favorite luxury selections for the season. Additionally, we're featuring a selection of editor-approved fashion items—pieces that have caught our attention. While these items are designed with spring in mind, their versatility ensures they transition smoothly into summer and beyond.
**MATTEAU**
Silk Crepe De Chine Shirt
Matteau is a fantastic summer brand if you admire designers like Khaite and The Row but seek more budget-friendly options. Style it partially unbuttoned with tailored black trousers, sandals, and a clutch for a seamless day-to-night look.
**MARIA MCMANUS**
Massive Organic Cotton-Twill Wide-Leg Pants
White jeans are universally chic, especially in this oversized cut. Embrace a bohemian vibe with a flowing blouse, eye-catching jewelry, a basket bag, and black flip-flops.
**THE ROW**
City Leather Flip Flops
Flip-flops have the power to elevate any outfit, and these are among the finest. Pair them with anything for a stylish off-duty appearance.
**THE ROW**
Leins Cotton Poplin Coat
A great trench coat is a must-have for spring fashion. This piece from The Row drapes beautifully and offers a refreshing alternative to standard French styles.
**KHAITE**
Ennio Scalloped Pointelle-Knit Tank
This season, I can't get enough of lace trims, and this tank is fulfilling that desire—a black cashmere-blend tank that pairs perfectly with light-wash denim and an unbuttoned white shirt.
**High Sport**
Kick Stretch-Cotton Knit Cropped Flared Pants
This brand has been on my radar for ages; I think it's time to finally commit. This latest iteration of its popular kick flare keeps getting better. Wear with a trench, white T-shirt, and ballet flats for a simple yet chic spring outfit.

Slim Symmetry Leather Tote
Savette is the go-to bag brand among fashionistas and is widely recognized. Their understanding of style is spot-on, and this lovely shade of brown is delightful.
**KALLMEYER**
Benet Oversized Denim Jacket

**THE ROW**
Dune Two-Tone Cotton-Blend Grosgrain Flip Flops
These flip-flops have split opinions, but The Row certainly knows how to grab attention. If you, like me, prefer to incorporate color minimally, these are perfect. Accessories are a great way to introduce color without a huge commitment, and these feel effortlessly stylish.

Otto Wool-Blend Bouclé-Tweed Jacket
Liberowe is a brand to keep on your radar right now. Its stylish designs combined with excellent quality create ideal investment pieces for spring. I would balance this jacket's formality with simple black trousers or denim and flats.
**ALAÏA**
Pleated Layered Twill Straight-Leg Pants
How many pairs of black pants can one acquire before it becomes excessive? Thankfully, these Alaïa pants offer just enough novelty with their pleated waistband to warrant another purchase. Dress them up with a black turtleneck and slingbacks, or keep it casual and let the details shine with a white ribbed tank and ballet flats.
