The days are getting warmer, and my monthly pedi has been reinstated, so it can only mean one thing: spring has officially sprung. As I try to push the gloomy, grey days of winter out of my mind, there’s one thing that always lifts my spirits: shopping for a new investment piece. Much like the weather outside, my capsule wardrobe had begun to fall a little flat and was in need of some TLC. To rectify the situation, I looked to the chicest dressers I know: the fashionable people on my social media feeds.
From spring-ready jackets to cigarette jeans, boho-coded blouses to on-trend trainers, these content creators deliver on styling inspo and are often the first to purchase the pieces we soon come to covet. So naturally, picking their brains about what they’re shopping right now makes a lot of sense.
With something for everyone, they offered up plenty of luxurious shopping picks. Tobi Ojora can’t get the Saint Laurent Mombasa out of her mind, whilst Lena Farl is planning to channel Carolyn Bessette Kennedy in a Toteme slip dress. The Danielle Guizio Paloma midi skirt is top of mind for Maya Fidel, whilst Savannah Elizalde is all about the Carelli Dolly, a faux-fur deer-print jacket currently taking social media by storm. Like the sound of these picks? That’s just the beginning. Keep scrolling to discover their full spring wish lists.

JW Anderson x Pringle
Turtle-Neck Argyle Jumper
“As someone who loves to wear roll-neck knits throughout the year and has had a long-standing obsession with argyle print (I’ve been wearing it since before it even was a thing), this JW Anderson jumper just speaks to me. With an oversized fit, it feels like the chicest spin on a timeless pattern.”
House of dagmar
Slim Tailored Blazer Leather
“Swedish slow-fashion brand House of Dagmar is one of my absolute favourites. When I spotted this Victoriana-inspired leather blazer, it instantly gave me Wuthering Heights and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy at the same time. Sold!”
“I want everything from Spanish label Gimaguas, but if I had to pick just one, it would definitely be one of the belts! The studs are giving me Primrose Hill Sienna Miller circa 2004.”
“Whenever I carry any of my DeMellier bags, I’m always flooded with compliments. I even ran into Christopher Kane, and he had to know where my suede chocolate New York tote was from! This season, the brand launched The Stockholm, which also happens to double up as the perfect airport bag. The suede contrast is so chic.”
“When it comes to jewellery, I’m definitely a less-is-more kind of person, but I would never leave the house without earrings. So, when I spotted these cute Jil Sander Zodiac earrings, I knew they’d definitely be a cute addition to my everyday rotation. If anyone wants to buy them for me, I’m an Aquarius, FYI!”

Toteme
Satin Slip Dress in Black
“I’ve been binge-watching Love Story, and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy’s timeless style is top of mind. Having recently spotted this Toteme slip dress, I think it’s perfect for anyone channelling her aesthetic this spring. Such an easy, minimalist look.”
The Frankie Shop
Briar Faux Leather Balloon Pants
“The modern answer to timeless tailoring, these balloon leather trousers feel bold, easy and have that undeniable Frankie Shop edge, especially when paired with a white tank.”
Khaite
Patri Knitted Wool Midi Skirt
“A Khaite signature, this skirt is a masterclass in minimalist fashion. It’s unapologetically ‘feminine’ but maintains that brand grit.”
“Oversized aviator sunglasses have been everywhere. They are the ultimate cool-girl accessory, and this pair from Le Specs is so well priced.”
4. Maya Fidel
Shop Maya’s Picks:
Massimo Dutti
Jacket With High Collar Detail
“Even with spring making it’s appearance, in London, you always need transitional layers. So naturally, this beautiful jacket from Massimo Dutti has rocketed to the top of my wish list. Elegant, timeless and statement-making, its not only undeniably functional but extremely chic!”
Danielle Guizio
Paloma Skirt
“There’s something so effortlessly chic about a basic knee-length skirt paired with a T-shirt and flip-flops. I saw loads of skirts just like this on my recent trip to Sydney.”
& Other Stories
Wide-Leg Jeans
“I love a good pair of denim jeans and tend to opt for natural, timeless washes over the typical blue. These khaki jeans will pair well with so many colours in my spring rotation.”

ZARA
Blazer With Shoulder Pads and Fireman Clasp
“One of my current obsessions is Napoleon jackets. I just love how easy they are to wear. Whether styled with jeans and a T-shirt or a ruffled blouse and loafers, throw it on top and you’re good to go!”
Polène
Numéro Neuf East West
“The new Polène Numéro Neuf bag in the east-west version is so sweet. I need it!”
Rotate
Floral Embellished High-Rise Miniskirt
I haven’t been able to get this Rotate skirt out of my mind. It’s very Carrie Bradshaw. I would balance it by pairing it with a short-sleeved polo.”
