While cool mornings and hot afternoons still keep us under stress, it cannot be denied that seasonal change has arrived. Spring styles are trending, with linen trousers, embroidered blouses and tactile updates of cotton dresses leading the way. At this point in the season, we have welcomed a wave of novelty from the upcoming spring collections. Now, the major trends have been established, the buys have been crowned, and as a shopping editor, I’ve studied them all to find the most worthwhile luxury buys.<\/p>\n As a shopping editor, one of my special skills is recognizing pieces that can go a long way. Anti-trend buys are the type of pieces that will strengthen our wardrobes season after season, but if you think that means they’re boring or out of date, I hope this edit will change your mind. Instead, the contemporary mood comes from silhouettes, intricate details and modern necklines, while classic foundations keep them feeling fresh beyond the trend cycle. Think about a bold East-West bag with sophisticated hardware that keeps it timeless, or a reliable spring skirt with updated pleating that makes this anticipated spring staple feel new every year.<\/p>\n
