Spring was awash with minimalist accents and structured basics, but thankfully they are anything but boring. To help you hone in on the pieces you need to add to your closet this season, we’ve rounded up the best options – each for under $300 – and given you an outfit that can be built around them. If that’s not easy glamour, we don’t know what is.
Pastel Bag
The pastel purse is summer's rebuttle to the bulky, black bags of winter. Pick one up in buttery hues like praline and mint.
How To Style It
Wear the pastel purse with a printed dress in a similar color family, and top with a casual jacket and bright pumps.
Slouchy Pant
Slouchy tailoring is having a major moment this spring, and a pair of louche pants packs quite a punch. Wear them to the office with a blazer and heels, then switch in a racerback tank and slides for the weekend.
How To Style It
This high-waisted pair looks particularly great with a detailed crop-top and luxe accessories.
Metal Choker
A sleek, rose gold choker is a great statement piece that blends with all of spring's minimal silhouettes.
How To Style It
A high-necked, sleeveless dress, fringed sandals, and a rim of kohl liner offer the ideal canvas.
Structured Top
A structured, neoprene t-shirt is a chic alternative to the classic slouchy tee.
How To Style It
Wear with distressed jeans, bold sandals and a scorching, matte lip.
Ankle-Strap Sandal
The skinny band and ankle strap of this sandal ooze sex appeal. Wear with casual basics during the day, or team with bare legs and a mini-dress at night.
How To Style It
Keep it casual with a printed top, dark denim, and playful sunglasses.
