There are some key spring trends like rosette details and maxi skirts that I already have in my closet, but now that I've found amazing under-$100 versions, I thought I'd share them.

If there's any single item I could suggest you try out this season, it's a maxi skirt. Floor-length hemlines have been trending for a minute now, and spring 2023 is when they're really going to peak. Try swapping one out for your typical jeans or trousers for a fresh feel.

Honestly, $28 feels like such a steal for a piece that you'll potentially wear on repeat.

This + any pair of cool flats = an outfit win.

High slits were a big theme on the spring runways, and this is a perfect way to test it out.

Adding a pop of metallic is like turbocharging your outfits to another level. A silver bag or shoes just adds that It factor to really anything but plays especially well with toned-down basics.

Every time our assistant market editor Yusra carries this bag, she's flooded with compliments.

Gap might have just answered my shopping prayers with these shiny jeans because I've been on the hunt for a similar pair.

You can say goodbye to boring jeans-and-tee outfits when this belt is in your closet.

With all things '90s and early '00s having a big resurgence, it's no surprise that one major silhouette of the era—strapless dresses—would be too. The versions bubbling up today, though, are much more refined and minimalistic.

The subtle shimmer in this fabric makes it the perfect going-out dress.

Ideal for layering in the spring and wearing solo in the summer.

Finally, a trend that's as comfortable as it is cool.

We've been yammering on about the rosette trend for months now, but with pretty new versions emerging left and right, you can't really blame us. Whether you add a flower choker to your outfit or wear them embroidered onto a top, spring '23 is when this trend will be fully in bloom.

Mango really did that when it released this designer-looking number.

Once the weather really warms, you can find me in this delightful top.

This might be the prettiest black bag I've ever seen.

Shades of periwinkle, lavender, mint, and light pink flooded the runways in what I'm describing as the new era of pastels. I'm especially keen on trying this trend, as I just know it will play well with my wardrobe of classic neutrals.

This spring, "naked" dressing is all about gauzy, sheer fabrics that are ideal for layering. Try a semisheer top or take a bolder approach with a slightly see-through skirt.

The right amount of see-through.

This brand has some of the most stunning gauzy knits, and I'm currently eyeing this skirt for my own collection.
