39 Spring Fashion Must&Haves, According To Refinery29 Editors
We’ve turned the clocks forward, the days are getting warmer, the sun is shining — spring is fully here. We're starting to shed winter layers and storing away our cold-weather fashion to embrace the best of spring style. When it comes to approaching spring fashion, we toe the transitional-dressing line. It’s not quite yet hot enough for T-shirts and shorts, but putting together a functional outfit that will keep you comfortable as temperatures change throughout the day can be quite the challenge. No one wants to be running around lugging around a bulky leather jacket that you only needed for an hour this morning. Thankfully, the Refinery29 team is here to help. We’ve already been digging through our closets (and the shopping aisles) for our spring fashion essentials, including trendy barrel-leg jeans, eclectic tights, versatile blazers, and so much more. We've also started to look ahead to summer and kick-start swimsuit and sandal shopping. Scroll on to discover some of the team’s spring must-haves.

After seeing the then-sold-out contrast pair on my colorist and hair whisperer, IGK’s Liv Casanova, last year, I instantly added my email to the notification list; I have never bought anything faster than when I got a restock email a month later. Not only do these jeans create an cinched-waist effect thanks to the adjustable button waistband but they also dress up the simplest of tank tops, T-shirts, and sweaters with zero effort. I’ve worn them at least once a week since purchase, and have my eye on this white pair for summer. While the black-and-navy pair is sadly once again sold out, you can opt for the one-tone version of the same silhouette." — Irina Grechko, Fashion DirectorThe Frankie Shop Hayla Denim Pants, $, available at The Frankie ShopLululemon Relaxed-Fit Twill Blazer“I didn’t anticipate finding my new favorite blazer at Lululemon, but alas, it happened! This twill-blend blazer; part of the brand's new travel assortment, fits like a dream (which can be tricky for petite girls like me), is breathable, comfortable, and pairs with everything from a silk midi skirt to relaxed trousers for a Lululemon take on traditional suiting. I can’t wait to wear it nonstop this spring and would never dare to gatekeep it.” — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior WriterLululemon Relaxed-Fit Twill Blazer, $, available at LululemonAritzia Sunday Best Divine Pant “A lightweight sweatpant alternative is hard to come by, but I think I’ve found my staple lounge-to-street option for the transitional spring season. I bought these wide-leg pants in both black and white from Artizia’s Sunday Best line. They make me feel slightly more put-together while working from home, and I find I can easily style them with flats or loafers so I don't look like I’m walking into the coffee shop in my actual pajamas.” — Kate Spencer, Sr. Affiliate Partnerships ManagerSunday Best Divine Pant, $, available at AritziaFree People Carry All Bag“This bag fits everything, and I’m talking everything: my work laptop, a book for the train, my gym clothes for post-work, lunch, and all the other useless bits I insist on carrying around every day. Even better, it slings over your body, which I think is a must when carrying a lot as heavy shoulder bags never stay on the shoulder, do they? Metallic colorways aren't going anywhere, so this bronze number will keep me on trend in a functional way.” — Tanyel Mustafa, Senior WriterFP Collection Slouchy Carryall, $, available at Free PeopleAligne Mariah Curved Sleeve Hourglass Blazer“For years I’ve worn oversized blazers – but Aligne’s curved sleeve hourglass style convinced me to switch things up. I love that it cinches in at the waist and curves over the thigh too. I decided to pair it with some '80s-style Adidas tracksuit bottoms, chunky boots, and some classic Ray-Bans. And, of course, I added just a touch of leopard print courtesy of my Ganni bag.” — Susan Devaney, Lifestyle Director Aligne Mariah Curved Sleeve Hourglass Blazer, $, available at AligneSkims Fit Everybody Cami Bodysuit "I love a deep brown for spring (or really any season!). This is actually the first Skims product that I have owned and I love it. The bodysuit is so comfortable and soft that it almost feels like I’m not wearing anything at all and the double lining allows me, a bra-on-always gal, to go braless. It’s great that this bodysuit can go with everything, I mean I’ve worn it with everything, from slouchy jeans for walking my dog to a leather mini skirt for going out with my gals and it really works in all situations depending on what accessories and bottoms you pair it with." — Becca Sax, Affiliate CoordinatorSkims Fits Everybody Cami Bodysuit, $, available at SkimsAdidas SL 72 Shoes“Do these s
