Shop Talk is a biweekly column dedicated to exploring the latest styles and trends to hit the internet. We’ll sift through new arrivals to bring you the styles we’re loving, the trends gaining momentum, and the pieces you’ll want to see before they sell out.
Spring is in full swing, and my excitement is through the roof. I can’t overstate how good it feels to retire my bulky layers. My outfits get to stand on their own again without heavy coats blocking the spotlight and weighing me down. In the past, I’ve used this season as an excuse to dive headfirst into whatever trends are taking over, but this spring, I’m doing things differently. I’m taking a more pared-back approach and focusing on pieces that feel elevated, versatile, and worth wearing over and over again.
That’s where a capsule wardrobe comes in. Building a closet around high-quality staples that mix and match easily has completely changed the way I put together an outfit. It’s easier and more intentional, and it proves that when it comes to great spring outfits, less is more. A strong foundation of good basics leaves more room to have fun with styling and accessories.
