Welcome to It-Girl Wardrobes, a quarterly column by Anna LaPlaca that downloads you on the exact brands and items that fashion people are unanimously backing for the current season.
In my corner of the internet, all the coolest people are agreeing on the same few buys. The brand behind the oversized sunglasses they’re all wearing? They’re Vincent Boulevard. The Hailey Bieber-approved item to buy from Reformation right now? None other than the viral Inez Pumps. The pretty fringe-trimmed pants that are taking over my feed (and closet) right now? That would be the Doen Lavon Pants. You see, the best dressers I know all seem to gravitate toward the same few items each season, and today, I’m making it my mission to document and outline them all here. Consider this your directory for cool spring 2026 style.
Whether it’s a buzzy sneaker collab, cult-loved designer handbag, or niche-but-emerging accessories label, each of the nine brands and buys below come together to represent what good style looks like right now, at least according to the tastemakers I personally follow and take inspiration from. With that, discover all the highly specific brands and items that the best dressed women are all wearing ahead.
Chanel Ponyhair Slingbacks
You couldn’t escape the Chanel frenzy that took the internet by storm last month when Matthieu Blazy’s debut collection arrived in stores. From Paris to New York, fashion people fought (sometimes literally!) to be among the first to get their hands on a piece, and now that the dust has settled and the receipts have come through, there was one clear winner: the pony-hair slingbacks. With their mix of animal prints and luxe texture, they’re timeless Chanel for a new era.
Doên Lavon Fringe Pants
Doen stays churning out viral item after viral item. After the popularity of last spring’s lace-trim shorts, the brand is back with another covetable piece, this time in the form of satin pants with a fringe trim. These are already flooding my feed and after trying them out myself, I can see why: they’re as easy to wear as they are fun to style.
Reformation Inez Pumps
Hailey Bieber and fashion editors are in agreement: the Reformation Inez Pumps are a wardrobe workhorse. The high-vamp silhouette feels on-trend for 2026 while the block heel makes them an everyday pair and glossy, eel-printed finishes make them look far more luxe than their sub-$300 price would make it appear.
The Row Agnes 12 Bag
There’s never not a bag from The Row that everyone and their mother is after (or carrying), and right now that just so happens to be the Agnes style, a top-handle bowling bag silhouette with a just-slouchy-enough shape to offset its polish.
Dorsey Lucien Earrings
There’s nothing like a pair of classic earrings to finish an outfit and Dorsey is one brand who’s putting a chic spin on the drop earring with Georgian-inspired bezel settings that lend an antique feel to an otherwise timeless piece.
Still Here Sport Jeans
You’ve seen them, I’ve seen them—the Still Here Sport Jeans are an A-list celebrity at this point. Finished a drawstring toggle at the ankle and a loose, low-rise hem, there’s just nothing like them and probably never will be. So popular, in fact, that they keep selling out before I can get my hands on a pair (I’m looking at you, pear wash), but luckily other colors like the milk and classic blue are currently still available.
Polo Ralph Lauren Belt
2026 is the year of the rodeo belt. Styles with big buckles are all but inescapable this season, with the one from Polo Ralph Lauren sitting at the top. With their statement silhouettes, they transform a look, and fashion people are styling them with streamlined and tailored pieces so the belts really pop
Jacquemus x Nike Sneakers
And the It sneakers of the season go to… Nike and Jacquemus! The duo paired up yet again to continue proving why theirs is a match made in fashion-person heaven. This time, the result is a pair of retro sneakers with a gummy track sole and thin nylon upper that transport you straight back to the ’70s.
Vincent Boulevard Sunglasses
Oversized sunglasses with a slightly warped, bug-eyed shape are all anyone is wearing anymore and several brands have popped up to deliver on the look, Vincent Boulevard being one of them. I’m seeing their Camille frames everywhere I look and after trying them on myself recently, I get the hype. They have that look of a celebrity in the early aughts without being overly retro.
