shop talk is a biweekly column dedicated to exploring the latest styles and trends hitting the internet. We’ll be bringing you styles we love through new arrivals, trends that are gaining momentum, and pieces you’ll want to see before they sell out.
Yesterday, I spent about six hours looking at the new arrivals from Banana Republic, Gap, Madewell, Align, and Shopbop. (It’s safe to say I love my job!) While each retailer has their own spin on spring collections, I noticed a pattern. The spring theme is light outerwear, classic denim, lace details and flat shoes. In the spring jacket category, we have parkas and car coats – utilitarian styles that will help us brave the spring elements in style. As for shoes and accessories, don’t sleep on mules, East-West shoulder bags or bandanas. I could go on, but I’ll cut to the chase and introduce you to the 43 best arrivals below.
