your spring investment pieces

March 20, 2018

There’s a concept pioneered by French women that we absolutely feel needs to be brought back stateside: investment pieces. Every girl needs a handful of classics—think jackets, trousers and blouses—that work with your entire wardrobe and never go out of style. Yes, they might cost a bit more than the other pieces in your closet, but they’re going to last for ages, and the best part is they’ll never go out of style. Discover six of our favorite investment pieces from the Spring Collection and get ready to pair them back to literally everything!

The beauty of pure white hues is that they play perfectly with every other color under the sun. Start with a classic white blouse as a base, then build on it with accessories and a variety of different bottoms from trousers to skirts for near endless versatility.

Trench coats have been a staple in every woman’s wardrobe for decades, and they’re not going out of style anytime soon. Perfect for April showers, you can wear it as casual or dressy as the occasion calls for, and it always suits perfectly for work.

Every girl has a jean jacket that pairs back to everything (even jeans for that head-to-toe look), but this season we’re going way beyond basics and introducing a must-have jean jacket with a touch of lace for a totally feminine, pair-with-everything twist on the classic.

The shape may be borrowed from the boys, but the rest of this vintage-inspired black blazer is totally unique and feminine. Featuring stunning peekaboo eyelets, it’s the perfect piece for adding a touch of class to any outfit.

There’s no end to what you can pair navy back to—like black or white, it’s a perfect staple hue that plays its hand a little more subtlety than its starker cousins. Every work wardrobe needs a pair of simple shapely trousers, and these are our pick for countless seasons to come!

We love a button-down for adding a bit of boyish charm to your work wardrobe, but they’re also great for providing a little eye-catching twist to casual looks. This spring, we’re putting a twist on the classic with this striped and printed number you’ll be reaching for again and again.

The only question left is what to pair it with? The answer: everything! Pick an investment piece and build an outfit around it either using the rest of the Spring Collection, your Fall faves, or picks from seasons past.
