48 Items to Refresh Your Spring Wardrobe by Misty White Sidell

Easy pants, wafer-thin sweaters, go-everywhere coats and more.
Spring is a time of renewal. As temperatures rise, daylight extends and pollen froths in the air, wardrobes also undergo a turnover. Thick, woolly sweaters and heavy coats are pushed to the back of closets, making way for lighter layers, breathable fabrics and punches of color.

Those looking to refresh their spring wardrobe have no shortage of options to choose from, a fact that can quickly make shopping a daunting endeavor. To help, I spent more than 12 hours browsing websites to find worthy items in eight key categories of springtime attire.

These 48 products come from brands across the world. Some are big, but many are small, independent labels. They range in price from about $60 to $800, and were picked with a variety of body types and personal preferences in mind. Most importantly, they address a desire for simple clothing that is better than basic.

Go-Everywhere Coats

As the weather warms, having a polished overcoat that can be worn comfortably over a variety of items — a T-shirt, sweats, a lighter jacket or a blazer — can take some of the guesswork out of getting dressed.

A number of small labels — Kule in New York, Mijeong Park in Los Angeles and Studio Nicholson in London among them — offer calf-skimming versions in neutral shades that evoke the all-weather coats by the heritage Scottish brand Mackintosh. Notable weather-resistant options include a sherbet-colored style from Land’s End and a Banana Republic coat that comes with a matching bucket hat.
