There are plenty of statement styles that you can try this spring, from dazzling sequins to alluring sheer fabrics, grunge-inspired silhouettes and eye-catching blurred prints. But if you’re like me and your style is simple—or at the least you lean toward classic styles—then you're probably looking to refresh your closet with a handful of timeless spring pieces that feel equally trend-forward.
On the spring 2023 runways, there was an emphasis on pared-back, comfortable elegance—what we call quiet luxury. Think elevated essentials in a palette of neutral hues such as clean-cut blazers, tailored trousers, well-defined duster coats, crisp button-downs, and timeless accessories void of flashy logos. These are the kind of pieces that will make your outfits look expensive. Luckily, you don’t have to spend a fortune to lean into this classic, quiet-luxury trend. Below, I’m sharing seven simple, of-the-moment styles that you can score for under $100 that feel of the moment yet will still last you for years to come. Keep scrolling, and thank me later!
