In light of warmer weather, festival season, and all those weddings popping up on your calendar, we thought we'd do a little shopping. Welcoming April means upgrading your sandal game, slipping into dresses (with bare legs!), and celebrating Coachella with a suitcase full of cool-girl gear. That's exactly what our editors are doing, so fortunately our list of April must haves is yours too. Flip through for the pieces we're shopping right now and add them to your own list ASAP.
"I don't love loading up on jewelry when the weather starts to warm up, but I do love the idea of dressing up a bare neckline with a subtle gold choker, like this minimalist piece from Urban Outfitters ($34)." — Hannah Weil McKinley, senior editor, Fashion
"I couldn't be more excited for the launch of the Spring '16 Miu Miu sandals, embellished with Swarovski crystals. While I've got my eyes on the slingback sliders the fashion house has been teasing on Instagram, this ankle-strap shoe ($750) is right in line with the look." — Sarah Wasilak, assistant editor, Fashion
"This cheeky riff on the button-down shirt by J.O.A. ($73) would be adorable over skinny pants, or even better, poolside at Coachella over your bikini." — HWM
"I lusted after Eugenia Kim's sunhats throughout Summer '15, and now they're back, with cute new sayings to boot. This floppy option that says "Wish You Were Here" ($485) is already sitting in my cart, waiting to be worn all season long." — Samantha Sutton, assistant editor, Fashion
"Madewell just launched its denim bar, which means you can stitch your jeans with any slogan you like. I can't wait to get the waistband on this Cruiser cropped style ($128) embroidered with my initials." — SW
"Jennifer Meyer–jewelry alumna, Nikki Erwin, just launched a line of easy-chic handbags you'll likely spot on her celebrity fans, like Olivia Wilde and Blake Lively. It's not hard to see why: her Donatienne 2.0 bags, like this Amy Faded-Rose Crossbody ($395), are a chic way to upgrade your everyday bag with a fresh Spring palette." — HWM
"Swimwear designer Lisa Marie Fernandez is trying to make the three-piece bikini set happen, and I don't mind one bit. In fact, I can think of a million and one ways to work these seersucker separates ($585) into my beach look." — SW
"I'm all about throw-on-and-go, but would like to look polished rather than lazy. The solution? Topshop's Ticking Stripe Belted Cotton Shirtdress ($80), which is easy and breezy while being office-appropriate." — SS
"If you ask me, Spring equals sneaker season, and my worn-out kicks could use an upgrade. This time around, I'm going with A.P.C.'s Steffi Leather Sneakers ($280), which are all-white and extremely versatile." — SS
"It's not just the lightweight layering options that come with bomber jackets that I love so much; it's their sporty appeal. I've always been a midnight-navy girl, so this quilted Burberry number (1,195), finished with leather piping, really spoke to me." — SW
"I can't wait to break into Citizens of Humanity's Wide Legged Culottes ($230) — quite possibly the most comfortable, polished version of Spring denim." — HWM
"I've had eyes on the Elizabeth and James Riza dress ($385) for a while now. Though it's months away, I can imagine the subtle, patriotic touch it'll bring to my July 4 outfit, and I expect that the triangle silhouette and cutout sides are universally flattering." — SW
"My warm-weather fashion plan? Buying a bunch of solid tees to pair with patterned bottoms, then spicing them up with little add-ons. Everlane's The Cotton Heather Pocket Tees ($18) are a quality option within my budget, making this option an extremely wise purchase." — SS
"These walkable Tibi Robyn Sandals ($465) come complete with a glittery, high-shine finish — pretty sure they'll put a pep in your step whether you're headed to the office or brunch. And I plan to wear them everywhere." — HWM
"When the layers come off, accessorizing gets harder, but if last year's bandana trend taught me anything, it's that a neck scarf — like this Silky Square from Urban Outfitters ($14) — is a great way to add oomph to even the simplest of outfits." — SS
