There's a funny little thing about fashion — no matter how much clothing you have hanging in your closet, you reliably seem to end up in the same pieces, over and over again. Far from being a sartorial rut, it simply means you've found your style stride and identified the stuff that you love. The start of Spring has us eyeing a whole new cast of dresses, tops, and shoes, but let's be real: within a month, we'll step back and realize that we've been living in the same dresses and tops. There's no point in fighting a good thing, though. Within, the items you won't be able to wear enough this season.

A Revised Denim Jacket

A Revised Denim Jacket

Denim's always in for Spring and Summer, but this season saw a twist. The jean jacket, typically button-front and collared, was done a multitude of new ways. Our favorite? Kimono-style, with wide cropped sleeves and a belted waist.

Statement Earrings

Statement Earrings

After our obsession with chunky necklaces and festive arm parties, we've moved on to the next frontier: the earlobe. This season's decorative arts are all about adorning the ears with bold shapes and lengthy beauties that nearly dust the shoulder.

A Little White Dress

A Little White Dress

Breezy and light, the LWD might just be the unofficial uniform of Summer. To find one you'll be able to style all sorts of ways, look for sleeves and a hemline that hits near the knee.

Joe Fresh Baby Doll Dress ($59)

A One-Piece Swimsuit

A One-Piece Swimsuit

The bikini's long run as the most popular swimsuit shape might be coming to an end. The practical one-piece is popping up in stylish vacation shots everywhere, and we understand the appeal. Flattering yet supremely sexy, it's easy to wear to the pool then out for sandy-footed drinks (pull on a pair of denim shorts to transition easily).

L*Space Maniac One Piece ($158)

Frayed-Edge Jeans

Frayed-Edge Jeans

The relaxed vibe of undone hems has been rising in popularity, and this year it's all about the super fray. Torn and shredded (and ideally a touch longer in the back), this is the pair of jeans you'll be reaching for to wear with both spiky heels and easy slides.

Mango Aina Jeans ($80)

A Small Bag

A Small Bag

When you peek at this season's crop of bags, it's hard to believe there was a time when we were collectively obsessed with mega purses. The pendulum has turned fully in the other direction, and we're reaching for lightweight, fancy-free bags. These little guys hold the necessities only and dangle from the wrist in a carefree manner that just feels like summertime. (Psst — this one's smart too: there's an interior charger to give your phone some extra juice.)

Punchcase Roxy Power Bag ($144)

An Off-the-Shoulder Top

An Off-the-Shoulder Top

Sexy in the most carefree of ways, the off-the-shoulder top looks just as beguiling on date night as it does paired with jean shorts and a cup of iced coffee. The amount of ways you can style it is endless, meaning it's a new staple you'll reach for on the weekly.

MLM Label Top ($150)

Lace-Up Sandals

Lace-Up Sandals

Less aggressive than a caged knee-high gladiator, lace-up thongs are ready to be worn with anything (to make them work with jeans, pick a cropped pair that allows the ankle wrap to be seen). They have the same casual feel as flip-flops but are more polished, making them an ace option for beach weddings.

Schutz Leona Sandals ($160)

A Maxi Dress

A Maxi Dress

Roomy and always comfortable, the maxi is a stylish catch-all for the next six months. Dress it up for a night out or dinner with friends, but also count on it as a go-to for lazy errands or early morning walks with the dog.

Free People Wrap Maxi Dress ($148)

Jean Shorts

Jean Shorts

Some of the very best memories of Summer are made in cutoffs, making it easy to see why we pull them on so often. If you haven't found a pair you love yet, make it your number one shopping goal.

One Teaspoon Chargers Shorts ($107)

White Sneakers

White Sneakers

We're beyond pleased to announce that the sneaker trend isn't going anywhere. Fresh white kicks are the style you're most likely to log hours in; the sleek look goes with everything from dresses to jeans.
