1. Spring Basics: Classic Tees

A high-quality tee is the foundation of any great wardrobe. Whether you prefer a classic white tee, a striped option, or a soft neutral, this staple is perfect for layering under blazers, pairing with denim, or styling with a skirt for an easy, effortless look. Some of our favorite brands to find these basics are AYR, Reformation, GAP, and Splendid!

2. Spring Basics: Light-Weight Button-Downs

A crisp button-down shirt is a must-have for spring. Opt for a classic white, soft pastel, or lightweight linen for a breathable, polished look. Wear it tucked into trousers, layered over a tank, or tied at the waist for a relaxed, casual vibe.

3. Spring Basics: Light Layers

Spring weather can be unpredictable, which is why light layers are essential. 

A denim jacket, a classic trench, a tie-front sweater, or a lightweight cardigan can add just the right amount of warmth while keeping your outfit stylish and transitional.

BONUS TIP: Anthropologie is one of our go-to brands for the cutest layering pieces to add some fun textures or prints to your outfit.
