My spring-cleaning is still in full swing. Part of that includes refreshing my collection of basics. I like to take inventory of my closet each season to determine what could use replacing, and that's particularly true for spring, when a general feeling of renewal is in the air. We all know basics are the building blocks of a wardrobe, so I always make sure mine are in mint condition since I know I'll be wearing those 90% of the time.
This year, I realized quite a few of my favorite spring staples have seen better days, so I've been compiling a list of chic options I'm considering replacing them with. I tend to gravitate toward basics with a directional twist, so items like cropped trench coats, butter-yellow cardigans, and suede belts are topping my list this season. Since I'm likely not the only one in the midst of a wardrobe refresh, I figured I'd share my favorite options here with you. Below are the stylish spring basics I'm eyeing from Nordstrom, Zara, and J.Crew.
