Season after season, I’m either horrified (dramatic, I know) or pleasantly surprised to see which trends stick with the masses. Surprisingly, I’m not upset by what I’m seeing unfold this spring. “Chic bag charms” is a phrase I never thought would come out of my mouth, but Wandler made it possible. And I fought the return of the slimmer jean at first, but now, I find myself ready to embrace more fitted styles. The moral of this long-winded story is that I never know which new arrivals will change my mind, and this time around, I found 27 pieces that have done just that. Bermuda shorts, mixed metals, slimmer jeans, and yes, bag charms are just a few examples of spring arrivals I never thought I’d cosign. Keep scrolling to see what else made the cut.
Banana Republic
Poplin Cinched-Waist Shirt
I’ll reach for over any oversize, white button-down this spring.
The search for a suede, crescent-shaped shoulder bag ends here.
I was wary of the bag charm trend until Wandler launched these.
The first of many Adidas purchases I’m contemplating.
Banana Republic
Slim Refined Blazer
As much as I love my vintage, menswear-style blazers, this slimmer style continues to catch my eye.
Banana Republic
Soho High-Rise Wide-Leg Pant
I’m looking for fresh ways to style my cream sweaters, and these pants are first on my purchase list.
Now that we’ve started mixing metals, I’ll never stop.
Banana Republic
High-Rise 90s Straight Jean
You won’t catch me in a skinny jean, but you will find me in a slimmer ’90s fit.
Rixo
Aara Wool-Blend Cardigan
I recently bought this cardigan, and I’m sad I didn’t walk out of the store with more colorways. The weight and fabric are also perfect for spring.

Montana Shorts
I never thought I’d say this, but I’m ready to wear Bermuda shorts again.
An exciting new iteration of the Samba.
Madewell
Single-Breasted Trench Coat
Perfect for all that spring rain.

Another smart layering piece.

These look similar to the Gucci style every cast member on Love Island (UK) is wearing—niche reference, I know.
Reformation
Simonette Top
If you buy one thing from this roundup, let it be this pretty top.

Aster Straight-Leg Jeans
There’s nothing better than a long-inseam, high-waist, slim, ’90s fit for under $100.
Adidas said, “Blush for spring!”
