Fashion Week runways planted the seed, now all we want to do is welcome March's — and Spring's — arrival with some shopping. We're all about shedding layers, brightening up our color wheel, and stepping into fresh footwear (buh-bye, boots!) to carry us through the few transitional weeks and finally into sunny Spring days. Ready to kiss your Winter wardrobe goodbye? Read on to see what our editors — and friend designer Misha Nonoo — are shopping for the month ahead.
"Warmer weather means ditching heavy coats, so I won't have to hide this cool La Ligne jacket ($295) under my parka. This perfect layering piece is a part of the brand's new capsule collection, and I love the mix of preppy stripes and utilitarian camo." — Hannah Weil McKinley, director, Fashion
"For me, March is a weird in-between time when it comes to the weather. The sun is shining, but there are days I like to stay warm and cozy too. This Storets cutout sweatshirt with frills ($88) speaks to the transitional season, and I'd absolutely style it with my boyfriend jeans and loafers." — Sarah Wasilak, editor, Fashion
"I love socially conscious brands, and 31 Bits falls into this category. All the jewelry is handmade by artisans in Uganda and Bali. You can tell the items, like this necklace ($48), embody the maker's own cultural style and tastes, which makes them special." — Marina Liao, assistant editor, Fashion
"A lightweight sweater, like this stripe style ($195) from my latest collection, is a key layering piece. I’ll wear it over a t-shirt when I get chilly on the plane and then slip a blazer over top to head straight from the tarmac to a partnership meeting." — Misha Nonoo
"Every girl needs a playful pair of sunglasses to keep in rotation. Cult-favorite designer Rosie Assoulin just collaborated with Morgenthal Frederics on a line of oversize shades ($495), and the large octagon shape feels just shy of ridiculous. To that, I say 'I'm ready.'" — SW
"Taking a step into Spring is easy with this adorable gingham-print Tibi dress ($450). Add booties if you must, then wear it all season with sandals, heels, mules — you name it. It's about to become the most versatile dress in your closet." — HWM
"I'm newly obsessed with LA-based label Cult Gaia. The brand's entire Spring collection offers a fresh take on familiar trends, but the accessories are beyond unique. The brand's new RTW line just launched, but I'm starting off with a classic. Gaia's Ark bamboo handbag ($118) might look perfect for Spring, but the piece would be such a conversation starter in the Winter too. I'd tote this baby year-round." — SW
"As much as I love a good silk pajama top, Thakoon's hunter green charmeuse version ($225) isn't complete without the matching pants ($275). I'm so ready to wear the set with a pair of white sneakers when I travel and sleek leather boots and a bomber when I hit the street." — SW
"It's the layering piece I never knew I needed. Now, I can't ignore the thought of wearing this Reformation corset top ($128) over my tees and button-downs and finally on its own when the weather warms." — HWM
"My clean, white sneakers from last season are no longer clean . . . or white. I’m replacing them with this pair from Want Les Essentiels ($295) that I can wear to work or for a stroll through an outdoor art exhibit in Mexico City." — MN
"Westward Leaning's brand-new release features these double bridge tortoise shell frames ($225). They're a contemporary update to my everyday shades — plus, I'll feel even better knowing that 25 percent of the proceeds on the brand's Spring collection is going to the United Nations Foundation." — HWM
"The husband shirt ($185) is one of my wardrobe staples. Button it all the way up for a business dinner, or simply clasp two shanks and tie the shirt tails in a knot for a beachfront lunch." — MN
"Once Fashion Month and award season wrap, booking a vacation is on the top of my to-do list. I love the neutral tones of Kore Swim's Alexa bikini ($225), which will work to complement a beach glow." — SW
"Just consider Loeffler Randall's Spring mules ($350) your perfect transitional shoe. The fresh color hints at brighter days ahead, but the covered toes mean you can get away with wearing them right now. Because, frankly, I'm so over boots." — HWM
"Stripes are in for Spring, haven't you heard? I love this wearable silk wrap blouse by Cuyana ($225) and would wear it with a white lace bralette underneath." — ML
"I put in an order for this Free People striped set ($168) as soon as I laid eyes on it. You can wear the set with a jacket for the beginning of Spring and later mix and match the separates for Summer. Two outfits for the price of one? I'm sold." — ML
"I aim to fill my closet with pieces I can wear for multiple intentions. I’d pair this Outdoor Voices bra top ($50) with a high-waist denim skirt whilst exploring a new city and with leggings for an early morning Pilates session." — MN
"The best time to break out your denim jacket, in my opinion, is Spring. It's a transitional piece everyone always needs more of, which is why I have my eyes set on this funky graphic one from Frame ($549). The standout design makes it different than all your other outerwear." — ML
"'They fit like a glove' is how I would describe these golden flats ($430). The shoes are simple enough to wear with your everyday outfit, while the metallic sheen makes them anything but ordinary." — ML
"No warm-weather getaway would be complete without a swimsuit. I love the minimal design of this chic Bikyni two-piece ($95)." — MN
"Over wearing gloves? These adorable Ragcuffs ($45) are the solution you never knew you needed. Plus, they'll look chic peeking out from under your camel coat." — HWM
"Scrolling through my Instagram feed, it seems like camera bags and see-through accessories are everywhere. I decided to try out two trends at once with the Stephanie Johnson Camera Crossbody Bag ($45) this month. I'm looking forward to taking this accessory with me to music festivals and outdoor cookouts all Spring long." — Sarah Siegel, editorial assistant, Shopping and Products
