Now that spring is here, I’m looking for every verdant green item I can get my hands on. These crepe trousers from The Fold are absolutely perfect. The crisp creases in the front make them look polished, but the elastic back means you won’t be feeling pinched at 3:00 p.m.

Pair these with your favorite neutral top for an outfit that feels like springtime.

The pants are $255, marked down from $365, at The Fold. They also come in eight other colors.

Outfit Details:
Alemais Dress (more sizes here), Altuzarra Tote, Dior Sunglasses, JB x Margaux Sandals

The case for the mini dress is simple: when the proportions are right, nothing else feels quite as clean. I don’t typically reach for this silhouette, but this Alemais denim version makes a compelling argument — the washed finish reads more like a statement piece than a basic, and the fitted shape keeps it sharp rather than too casual. Paired with a structured bag and simple accessories, it becomes the kind of outfit that requires no second-guessing. This is the mini dress for people who don’t usually wear mini dresses.

Spring/Summer 2026 brings a shift in handbags, with color and material leading the conversation. After watching butter yellow move through ready-to-wear last year, the shade now shows up in bags — joined by saturated reds, grassy greens, and deep blues, signaling a move toward accessories as the main point of expression. Across the season, a few clear directions stand out.

Color-Forward Handbags: The Best Butter Yellow, Red & Green Bags for Spring 2026

Bright shades emerge as one of the defining handbag stories of Spring/Summer 2026. From butter yellow to saturated reds, blues, and greens, color appears across shoulder bags and clutches in a way that feels widespread rather than isolated. Instead of acting as a finishing touch, these hues lead the design, bringing energy to everyday carries. The volume of bold color across collections points to a broader shift toward expressive accessories, with designers leaning into vibrant palettes that feel fresh, modern, and highly wearable.

The Soft Structure Bag Trend: Spring 2026’s Low-Key It-Bag

This season introduces a new approach to proportion, with bags appearing larger, softer, and designed for daytime wear. Sculptural leather styles sit alongside gathered pouches and relaxed carries, signaling a move toward bags that balance presence with practicality. The result is intentional but unfussy, carried under the arm, sized for real use, and built to move easily through the day.

Fringe Bags & Embellished Carries: Spring 2026’s Statement Trend

Decorative elements step in as a second layer of expression. Fringe adds movement, while embellished finishes introduce shine and texture through beading and surface detail. These styles bring a playful edge, turning everyday bags into standout pieces without sacrificing function.

Taken together, Spring/Summer 2026 points toward handbags defined by color, material, and thoughtful proportion with investment bags that refresh a wardrobe now without feeling tied to a single moment.

I love the twist on these mint hoops from Starfish Project.

I think mint can be a great way to bring some color to your face, and is a fun way to complement other spring colors like blues, pinks, and purples.

The hoops are $42 at Nordstrom and at Starfish Project’s website.

(I’m not familiar with the Starfish Project one way or another; it describes its mission as “help[ing] exploited women and girls experience freedom, establish independence and develop careers.” You can see their website here and their profile on Charity Navigator here.)

The Brands Worth Shopping

LE BOP

Shopbop’s own line has been one of my most-worn brands this year. The quality-to-price ratio is unreal, and at 20% off it’s a no-brainer. The Zadie Polo keeps selling out — grab it while it’s in stock and on sale.

Ulla Johnson

Ulla Johnson makes you feel dressed up without trying too hard. Her spring pieces lean into beautiful prints and relaxed silhouettes — exactly what I want for warm-weather entertaining and weekends.

AGOLDE

The Indra Shorts have been one of my most-clicked Shopbop items this month. AGOLDE denim holds up better than almost anything else I own. If you need denim shorts this spring, this is the moment.

SHOP TOP BRANDS

Love, fashion, and star power collided at the premiere of The Return of Arinzo as Priscilla Ojo and her husband, Tanzanian music star Juma Jux, made a striking entrance that instantly commanded attention.

Priscilla Ojo—widely known as @its.priscy—is a Nigerian actress, model, and influencer, and the daughter of Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo. She has built a strong presence in fashion and entertainment, amassing millions of followers while balancing acting, brand partnerships, and her own fashion ventures  . By her side, Juma Jux (born Juma Mussa Mkambala) is an award-winning Tanzanian R&B and Afropop artist known for hits across East Africa and beyond  . The couple, who married in 2025, have quickly become one of Africa’s most talked-about cross-cultural power pairs  .

For the premiere, Priscilla leaned into sculptural glamour in a white off-the-shoulder gown featuring a corseted bodice, exaggerated hips, and a softly draped neckline. The look was elevated with a dramatic wide-brim hat and a layered pearl choker that framed her face, adding a bridal-inspired finish. She accessorized with a spherical embellished clutch and metallic pointed-toe heels, completing a look rooted in structure and femininity.

Juma Jux complemented her in a neutral-toned ensemble anchored by a long camel overcoat layered over a partially unbuttoned shirt, exposing layered necklaces. His pinstriped trousers and pointed boots added a tailored contrast, while stacked bracelets and tinted sunglasses brought a contemporary edge.

Together, the duo delivered a coordinated aesthetic—her look defined by sculptural precision and softness, his by relaxed tailoring and tonal layering—creating a visual balance that felt intentional and cohesive.

The couple’s appearance at the Arinzo premiere underscores their growing influence not only in music and film circles, but also in fashion, where their coordinated style moments continue to resonate across the continent.

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

I’m totally in love with the color of this sheath midi dress from Boss. We’ve professed our love for the light blue suit around here for years, so this is right up my alley. I would pair this with a white blazer for a gorgeous summer-y look, but there is a coordinating jacket if you want to do a column of color. 

The dress is $549 at Nordstrom and comes in sizes 0-18. It’s also available in “pumice.”
