What Fashionista Editors Want for Spring

We're gravitating towards a sunny color palette and roomy silhouettes this season.

It's officially spring, which means the time has finally come for us to snatch up all the cropped, short-sleeved, toe-baring pieces that our bundled-up selves have been dreaming of all winter long. The season, we're gravitating towards a sunny color palette — think sweet pastel yellows and light corals — and roomy silhouettes, like wide-leg pants and flared mini dresses. We're also eyeing playful gold jewels, statement-making hair clips, simple, walkable slides and athleisure bits from Outdoor Voices, because we plan on doing a lot of things come April.

On the skin and makeup front, we're stocking up on glow-enhancing highlighters, shimmery eye shadow palettes that contain SPF, clean-smelling fragrances with stress-relieving capabilities and vitamin C serums.

Click through to see what Fashionista editors are buying — and lusting after — for spring.
