From slashed denim to round shades, your hit list of what's hot for spring. By Christene Barberich & Piera Gelardi
We're all in favor of over-hauling your spring wardrobe, but now more than ever, transforming your closet from winter to spring requires a smart strategy as much as style savvy. That's why we've assembled the ultimate hit list of what to buy now that spring is finally awakening (yes, finally!). Our list was initially longer, but given we're all stretching our spare change as far as it can go these days, we decided to streamline it even further, choosing only the pieces we felt were seductively of-the-moment but also classic enough to take you a few seasons on. Among our fail-safe spring essentials: The short suit, indispensable for casual Fridays or a late night out; big bangles to mix-and-match (the more, the merrier); and a floral one-piece bathing suit, so chic under a cropped cardi and baggy trousers, are just a few of our favorite things…read on for more springtime inspiration.
