I'm Fashion People's Go-To Source for Style Inspo—Here's Everything I'm Shopping for Spring

Over the past few months, our fashion editors have been spotlighting the must-have spring buys—everything from It jackets to the most coveted sandals. However, as the season progresses, we thought it was the perfect moment to take the conversation one step further. So we tapped an industry insider for a fresh fashion perspective on the topic: Olivia Wayman. A stylist, creative consultant, and the voice behind Olivia's Shopping Diary on Substack, Wayman has quickly earned a reputation as one of Instagram’s most trusted sources for style inspiration, expertly edited brand roundups, and curated shopping guides that speak to taste and longevity.

For Wayman, spring invites both renewal and investment, perfect for updating her wardrobe with items that will stand the test of time while allowing room for the occasional playful statement piece. "Spring shopping always feels so fresh and exciting after what feels like years of wearing heavy coats during winter," Wayman shares via email. "My approach remains consistent year-round: buy less, but buy better. This means investing in luxury classics that I know I’ll wear season after season, while also incorporating a few fun, bold pieces—like statement jewelry or colorful shoes—that will add new interest to classic outfit combinations."

Continue reading to discover Wayman's top luxury picks for the season. Plus, we're sharing a small curation of editor-approved fashion finds—items we can't stop thinking about. These pieces may have been designed with spring in mind, but their versatility makes them ideal for transitioning seamlessly into summer and beyond.

Silk Crepe De Chine Shirt

MATTEAU

Silk Crepe De Chine Shirt

Matteau is a great brand for summer if you love designers like Khaite and The Row but prefer a more affordable option. Wear it partially undone with black tailoring, sandals, and a clutch for an effortless day-to-night outfit.

Massive Organic Cotton-Twill Wide-Leg Pants

MARIA MCMANUS

Massive Organic Cotton-Twill Wide-Leg Pants

White jeans look chic on everyone, especially in this oversize silhouette. Lean into a bohemian feel with a flowing blouse, statement jewelry, a basket bag, and, again, black flip-flops.

City Leather Flip Flops

THE ROW

City Leather Flip Flops

I don’t think there is anything that flip-flops can't make cooler, and these are some of the best. Wear them with anything for a cool, off-duty look.

Leins Cotton Poplin Coat

The Row

Leins Cotton Poplin Coat

When it comes to spring fashion, the first thing I want to wear is a great trench coat. This one from The Row drapes so elegantly and feels like a refreshing change from more typical French silhouettes.

Ennio Scalloped Pointelle-Knit Tank

KHAITE

Ennio Scalloped Pointelle-Knit Tank

I can’t get enough of a lace trim this season, and this tank is scratching that itch—a cashmere-blend black tank that works perfectly with a light-wash denim and a white shirt unbuttoned over the top.

Kick Stretch-Cotton Knit Cropped Flared Pants

High Sport

Kick Stretch-Cotton Knit Cropped Flared Pants

This brand has been on my radar for a long time, and I think I need to just concede and get them. This is the newest version of its famed kick flare, and they just keep getting better and better. Pair with a trench, white T-shirt, and a pair of ballet flats for an easy but chic spring look.

Slim Symmetry Leather Tote

SAVETTE

Slim Symmetry Leather Tote

Savette is the bag brand on every fashion girl's arm and on everyone’s radar. It knows exactly what it's doing, and this shade of brown is delightful.

Benet Oversized Denim Jacket

KALLMEYER

Benet Oversized Denim Jacket

Kallmeyer is a new brand to me, but one that is creeping into my shopping cart. I would wear this denim shirt over a white T-shirt with The Row black Gala pants, flip-flops, and oversize sunglasses.

Gala Pant in Cady

The Row pants in question.

Dune Two-Tone Cotton-Blend Grosgrain Flip Flops

THE ROW

Dune Two-Tone Cotton-Blend Grosgrain Flip Flops

These flip-flops have divided many, but The Row knows how to pique our interest. If you’re someone like me who only wears color in small doses, these are the dream. Accessories are the best way to introduce color to your outfit without so much commitment, and these just feel so cool.

Otto Wool-Blend Bouclé-Tweed Jacket

LIBEROWE

Otto Wool-Blend Bouclé-Tweed Jacket

Liberowe is the brand to have on your radar right now. Its silhouettes, paired with amazing quality, result in the perfect investment pieces for spring. I’d balance out the formality of this jacket with simple black pants or denim and some flats.

Pleated Layered Twill Straight-Leg Pants

ALAÏA

Pleated Layered Twill Straight-Leg Pants

How many pairs of black pants can one buy until it’s an issue? Asking for a friend. Luckily, these Alaïa ones provide just enough newness with the pleated-detail waist to justify buying another pair. Dress up with a black turtleneck and black slingback combination, or dress down and let the detail do the talking with a white ribbed tank and ballet flats.

D-Frame Acetate and Silver-Tone Sunglasses

SAINT LAURENT EYEWEAR

D-Frame Acetate and Silver-Tone Sunglasses

These sunglasses offer a chic take on the classic black Wayfarer style. They quietly make a strong impact. Throw them on with everything to elevate any look.

Leather Jacket

SAINT LAURENT

Leather Jacket

When it comes to spring jackets, this is god-tier. I think a Saint Laurent leather jacket would cure numerous things for me. Follow the lead of Courtney Grow and wear it with black jeans, loafers, and a black elevated bag.

Cotton-Poplin Shirt

CHARVET

Cotton-Poplin Shirt

Just like the trench coat, a white shirt is a nonnegotiable for spring. Charvet provides some of the best quality with a classic silhouette. I’d size up and wear religiously through the next season.

Dane High-Rise Wide-Leg Jeans

KHAITE

Dane High-Rise Wide-Leg Jeans

Ask anyone with a remote interest in fashion where to get the best denim, and they’ll tell you one word: Khaite. Its unparalleled quality and fit keep you running back for every shade. Its new Dane jean is no exception; the light wash feels perfect for spring. Create a contrasting look with the brand's black loafers and a heather gray sweater.

Nesson Linen-Chambray Shirt

THE ROW

Nesson Linen-Chambray Shirt

Denim is what makes up most of my wardrobe, and this is a great spring offering from The Row (who else). It seems the Olsens themselves don’t want to sacrifice denim due to heat so have answered our prayers in the form of a linen chambray shirt.

Eliza Silver-Plated Earrings

Juju Vera

Eliza Silver-Plated Earrings

According to Allison Bornstein, aspirational jewelry is the theme of spring/summer 2025. Look no further than Juju Vera for such. These earrings would elevate any simple look.

Embroidered Wool Jacket

RÓHE

Embroidered Wool Jacket

This jacket has been taking the fashion community by storm and continues to sell out everywhere for a strong reason. The mandarin-style jacket trend has been creeping in and is now in full effect. Pair with cream silk trousers, black flip-flops, and a contrasting bag.

Suede Wrap Coat

Adding texture to your spring looks is key for interest; this Róhe coat feels like the perfect addition to a simple jeans and a white T-shirt look. Great for throwing on and running errands or dressing up for an evening out.

+ Erin Wasson the Sud Square-Frame Acetate Sunglasses

JACQUES MARIE MAGE

+ Erin Wasson the Sud Square-Frame Acetate Sunglasses

Aspirational accessories part deux, statement jewelry, and interesting sunglasses are where I choose to thrive this spring.

You can't dispute that this shimmery gold tote bag will take any look to the next level.
