As warm days approach, there's always a desire to refresh the wardrobe to look current — and not break the bank. Let's explore the must-haves for spring 2026.
To look stylish and interesting, you don't need dozens of new purchases. A few basic items that easily mix and match and fit into your everyday lifestyle are enough. Stylist Masha Vedernikova shared what we should pay attention to right now.
Trench Coat — The Foundation of the Spring Silhouette
This versatile coat remains the most reliable spring investment because it is both practical and visually elongates the look. "Classic shades like beige, gray, or khaki work for more than one season and easily combine with jeans, dresses, and suits. It's important to pay attention to the length and shoulders, as they set the proportions," explains the fashion expert.
Bright Basic Items
In spring, the basic lineup often needs a refresh, and simple pieces in vibrant colors come to the rescue. A T-shirt, thin sweater, shirt, or long-sleeve top in shades of blue, green, red, or yellow work well as accents. Such items easily fit into everyday outfits and make even the simplest ensemble more interesting. The key is to choose pure colors and minimalist shapes.
Denim for Every Occasion
Jeans, a denim shirt, or jacket become a true lifesaver in spring. "Denim withstands weather changes well, pairs with almost everything, and looks appropriate in most situations. This season, straight silhouettes, moderate fits, and calm shades of blue are particularly relevant. Denim works best when it's not overloaded with details," advises the stylist.
Statement Accessories that Complete the Look
In spring, accessories often make all the difference. A bright bag, expressive sunglasses, a belt with a distinctive buckle, or shoes in an unusual color can completely change the impression of an outfit — it's important not to aim for everything at once; one or two accents are enough. A good accessory doesn't compete with the outfit but sets its mood.
A Blazer or Dress with a Perfect Fit
One piece with a perfect fit can elevate the entire wardrobe. This could be a blazer that fits perfectly on the shoulders or a dress with a thoughtful cut — such items become a staple when there's no time to think about the look. In spring, models that easily transition from day to evening (or from strict office to relaxed casual) with a change of shoes and accessories are especially valued.
