A pair of chunky lug sole sandals
Lana Blanc, a personal stylist based in New York, likes these black and white fisherman sandals. They’re an update on another early '00s throwback, and Blanc predicts the style is going to be huge this spring and summer.

A pair of wide-leg jeans
Both Blanc and Beverly O independently picked these jeans as an of-the-moment denim update. Ditch your worn-out skinny jeans for a trendy wide-leg style that still has a butt-flattering fit. Blanc suggests pairing these jeans with a crop top or bodysuit.

This solid little rectangular bag, made of a leather alternative, can be worn cross-body or held like a top-handle bag or clutch. It comes in both a rich brown and a camel color, and Blanc approves of both.

A flouncy color-blocked midi dress
Harris says, “Fuchsia and orange are two go-to colors this season and the blocking style makes a statement.” It comes in sizes up to 5XL, and Harris says it will work especially well on folks with small busts and fuller hips.

A bright and breezy slip dress
Alison Lumbatis, a Dallas-based stylist, blogger and author of “The Ultimate Book of Outfit Formulas,” named this highlighter-colored, simple silhouette as a top choice. “It’s a return to the '00s,” she said. “Throw a lightweight cropped cardigan over it or pair it with a blazer to add a little polish.”

A country-chic ruffled blouse
The Little House on the Prairie vibe is still trending, and something airy and light like this blouse is perfect for spring weather. Lumbatis suggests half-tucking it into high-waisted, white jeans.

A mock-neck midi sweater dress
This pale pink and white striped sweater dress lets you make a statement and stay cozy at the same time. Lumbatis calls it a “one and done instant outfit,” and she appreciates its versatility – dress it down with white sneakers, or opt for wedge heels to take it up a notch.

The subtle scoop shape of this purse feels very luxe-inspired, and the saturated spring green color will make a statement now and for seasons to come. According to Sobrato, “bringing in a pop of color for your spring wardrobe is always a good idea.”
