There’s no better time than the beginning of a new season to give your closet a stylish refresh. This spring is no exception. When getting ready in the morning, I have one main goal: to get ready with ease without sacrificing style. This year, I have found some key pieces that inject an elevated feel into the most basic of outfits. In fact, any time I incorporate one (or more) of these pieces into my look, I am guaranteed to get complimented—a very welcomed bonus.
To be clear, I always aim to curate a chic rotation of outfits that feel timeless and effortless all at once, but with the addition of standout options, the whole thing reaches the next level. This season, these come in the form of sleek slingback heels, elegant knits, classic belts, and more. Ahead, you can check out six chic pieces I swear by for taking my spring outfits from subpar to sophisticated without any heavy lifting.
