Spring: the season of wearing the shoes you want, not the ones required by the weather. Of swinging a new bag by your side as you amble down a sunny, tree-lined street. Of slipping on a pair of shades whenever you leave the house, because finally—finally!—you need them again. These are the shoes, bags, and miscellaneous mood-boosting extras to move on.
Sandals
This season’s options run the gamut from citified slides and skinny-strap sandals to elevated thongs (most notably: an updated version of the jelly flip-flops seen on every fashion girl’s feet last year). We love how typical fall elements—materials like suede, colors like chocolate brown—are being carried over to the current moment.
Mini Bags
Coffee dates, lunch dates, glass-of-orange-wine-after-work dates—right now we’re looking for any reason to get outside (even if it’s only for a short time). Mini bags are perfect for such occasions: They fit just the essentials—nothing more, nothing less—so you can make your sweet escape without schlepping your whole life with you.
Flats
Mary Janes are still having a bit of a moment, with brands like Le Monde Beryl and Vibi Venezia leading the charge. The mesh trend sparked by The Row years ago is also going strong; expect to see more open-weave variations, especially as we slide toward the warmer months.
Woven Bags
There’s nothing like a woven bag to put you in a springtime state of mind. The question is, are you looking for something big and beach-ready, chic and toteable, or compact and crossbody?
Slip-Ons
Whether you’re a dyed-in-the-wool prep looking to replace your go-to loafers or you’ve simply had boat shoes on the mind since that Miu Miu show, any one of these classic silhouettes would more than satisfy.
The Extras
Last but not least, six miscellaneous items too good to leave out: Khaite’s take on cat-eye sunglasses. A necklace made of paracord, plus a new pair of statement earrings. A bird-shaped bag charm by the master leatherworkers at Loewe. A straw bucket hat to wear on weekends. And, because it’s allergy season: a chic pouch to keep your Claritin in.
