As spring approaches, you don't need to go out and buy 100 new pieces. Save yourself time, effort, and money by planning out a capsule wardrobe: a collection of essentials that you can mix and match throughout the season. That means a perfect pair of pants that make you feel comfortable and confident, a couple of shirts for dressing up and dressing down, a super-soft and lightweight sweater or blazer for chillier nights, and a nice pair of shoes to take you from day to drinks.

Our suggestion? Keep most items neutral for easier mixing and matching, then pick up a couple key accessories in fun patterns or colors to make every look distinctive. Cutting down on outfit choices in the morning will make getting ready for any occasion so much easier. Who knows: you may even be able to set your morning alarm a little later, too.
