Have A Neutral Sweater: Buy A Neon Handbag
We get it, the neon trend is loud. But it’s easier to pull off than you think. Start small with an electric clutch that adds to your outfit but doesn’t overwhelm it. Then, when you’re feeling adventurous, pair it with even more neon.

Have Knee-high Boots: Buy An ’80s-inspired Dress
If you bought into the knee-high boot trend this past fall, keep them in rotation by pairing them with another major spring trend: a floaty, puffy-sleeve dress.
Get the look: AFRM ($138); Reformation ($248); Cult Gaia ($786)

The MVP of spring fashion? Matching sets. Make your go-to dungarees feel brand new by rocking a jean jacket in the same wash.
