refresh your wardrobe for spring 2021 with new looks in 16 essential areas
1. The Trench
To kick off our overview of spring 2021 fashion essentials, outerwear seems like a sensible place to start. We always think of the trench as a British wardrobe staple – but for a spring refresh, how about one with French savior faire? Isabel Marant, Étoile’s SS21 “Peter” cotton- and linen-blend trench coat exudes a vibe that’s relaxed and Parisian-chic. The hue is just a bit lighter and brighter than the classic khaki, which makes it more wearable for both work and off-duty as the weather gets warmer.
BUY NOW: $690.
2. The Rain Jacket
Designer Jane Lipman Post has made chic rainwear her specialty. Her “Iconic Princess Slicker” has a detachable hood and a finish that makes it appear to be patent leather.
BUY NOW: $345.
3. The Lightweight Cardi
Grace Wales Bonner is making her mark in womenswear after her success in the tailored menswear market. And you can see why – this dark pink “Parish Cricket” cardigan has ribbed cream and orange striped edges, reminiscent of cricket uniforms. Sweet, sporty and sassy all in one.
BUY NOW: $765.
4. The Pretty Dress
A lovely floral dress is pretty much a must for warm weather socializing. Whether it’s for a spring micro-wedding or a family or “pod” outdoor event, Zimmerman is one of our go-to brands, and we’re swooning over this “Lovestruck” mini dress. Among our spring 2021 fashion essentials, this one’s near the top of our shopping list.
BUY NOW: $650.

5. The soft power suit
Board meetings and big presentations don’t take a spring break. But you can lighten the mood with tailored suiting in a spring pastel. Like this one from Alexander McQueen. The single-breasted jacket and slim coordinating trousers are crafted from a breathable wool-silk blend.
BUY NOW: Jacket – $2,690. Trousers – $1,090.
6. The Crop Top + Maxi Skirt
We love the look of a flirty crop top and breezy maxi skirt. This look is core to our spring 2021 fashion essentials edit. Why? Because it’s as effortless as an easy summer dress, only much, much better. You can wear the pieces together or apart. Perfect when you have to pack light for a weekend away! Take, for example, Agua by Agua Bendita’s hand-embroidered floral “Macadamia” print top and skirt.
BUY NOW: top – $350 and skirt – $510.
7. The Jeans
Even if you can’t escape to the Brittany coast, you can channel that seashore vibe anywhere with a crisp pair of cropped white jeans like these from French brand A.P.C.
BUY NOW: $210.

11. The Loungewear
Bernadette Antwerp is a new line of loungewear and sleepwear helmed by Belgian mother-daughter duo Bernadette and Charlotte de Geyter.

They’re the ultimate in flexibility – you could wear these out on the town or while holding court out on the terrace at home.
BUY NOW: $850.
12. The Earrings
As Moda Operandi notes, Jacquemus is “a master of the ‘Insta-Bait’ accessory.” They predict that the brand’s “La Spirale” earrings will be everywhere come the summer. Don’t say we didn’t tell you.
BUY NOW: $235.
13. The Hair Accessory
Sometimes the most carefree hairstyle involves a headband, no muss and no fuss. For those days, we love Jennifer Behr’s Suzette headband in gold (it also comes in silver). A little joyful bling, even by day, makes us feel like spring is really here.
BUY NOW: $450.

14. The White Sneakers
Sure, you could go with Keds. But if you want the statement white sneaker of the season, opt for Alexander McQueen’s white Tread Slick boots. They’re a luxury riff on vintage basketball trainers from the 1980’s. And they’ll take you seamlessly from the city streets to the bar by the beach.
BUY NOW: $670.
15. The Sandals
Bottega Veneta’s Stretch sandals have been the “it” shoe of warm weather style in recent seasons. This spring, the brand is launching a new version with chain-link straps. Grab yours before they’re gone.

We’re wrapping up our edit of spring 2021 fashion essentials with a go-everywhere handbag. Stella McCartney’s Spring ’21 accessories include the reintroduction of the “Half Half” bag. The medium-sized tote features woven raffia, white faux leather and a brushed silver chain strap. It will literally go with everything in your spring and summer wardrobe. And its eco-friendly!
BUY NOW: $970.
