We get it: The winter-to-spring wardrobe reboot is hardly on your radar this year. And who can blame you, when pants have been optional for months now and you own enough sweatshirts to merit a categorization system? (Best for lounging, best for exercise, cute enough to step out in…to each their own.) Fortunately, it doesn’t take a top-to-bottom overhaul to get inspired. Sometimes, it’s the little things—a cool T-shirt, new denim, earrings that elevate a messy bun from “good enough” to “looking good”—that can make a world of difference.
PLAYFUL PATTERNS
Our favorite prints include both kaleidoscopic
motifs and vintage microflorals in

PRACTICAL POUCHES
This time last year, micro bags were king. But most of us require a little extra space of late—for spare masks, mini bottles of hand sanitizer, lip balm, and other necessities. These four outfit-finishers fit the bill.

neutral knits
If you really can’t part with head-to-toe tonal, may we suggest beige instead of black? Between eggshell and ecru, you’ve got leeway to mix, match, and monochrome to your heart’s content.

pink lady
Despite its girlie reputation, pink is a color with multiple personalities. It can be slick and sporty (à la Gucci), prim and preppy (like Lee Mathews), or completely and utterly chill (looking at you, Les Tien). Pro tip: Ground it in neutrals for a more modern look.

SET IT STRAIGHT
Proof that everything old is new again? Straight-leg jeans. A throwback to the ’90s, they combine the leg-lengthening magic of skinnies with the not-painted-on-ness of wide-legs. Throw on a knit and a chunky chain, and you’re good to go (or, you know, stay).
