From Coachella to Met Gala prep, team Fashionista had a lot going on this month. But trust, that hasn't stopped us from indulging in some much-needed shopping.
NYC's indecisive weather has us confused about whether to dress for cold or warm temperatures. Our solution? Dress for both: This month, we found lightweight coats, a cotton blouse and eye-catching midi skirts. We're also amping up our accessories game with French girl-coded hair pins, music festival-worth jewelry and sleek sunglasses.
Ahead, see (and shop!) all our favorite April fashion discoveries.
Old Navy High-Waisted Linen-Blend Straight Ankle Pants, $40 $20, available here: "If you too tend to avoid 'hard pants' at all costs, I can't recommend a good pair of linen pants (or several) enough. These are a great lightweight option and you can’t beat the prices — I'm already contemplating additional colorways." —Dhani Mau, Editor in Chief
Sézane Gladys Hair Accessory, $70, available here: "This substantial-yet-dainty-looking French pin is so pretty, it singlehandedly convinced me to finally learn how to use a French pin. It elevates even my laziest hair days in seconds." —Steph Saltzman, Beauty & Style Director
Longchamp Looong L Shoulder Bag in Pistachio, $690, available here: "This soft, muted green bag has been a welcome pop of color in my spring wardrobe. I also love how it can hold plenty of my everyday necessities without feeling cramped and how easily it fits under my arm, thanks to its adjustable straps." —Brooke Frischer, Associate Editor & Social Media Manager
Damson Madder Catie Ruffle Midi Skirt, $170, available here: "I can never find my name on the kitschy keychains in souvenir shops, so imagine my surprise when I came across it on a Damson Madder skirt. It might be an exaggeration to say this midi skirt was made for me, but its black-and-white check pattern paired with swirling ruffles feels right at home in my wardrobe. Plus, it's made from 100% organic cotton and it has pockets, so prepare to see me wearing this on repeat all season long." —Catie Pusateri, Staff Writer
Old Navy x Christopher John Rogers Mock-Neck Bomber Jacket, $80, available here: "The amount of self-restraint it took to stop me from shopping the entire CJR x Old Navy was no joke. (Honestly, I'm proud of myself for only spending a little more than $200.) Of my purchases, I've been wearing this bomber jacket the most: It's been so ideal to throw on while dealing with NYC's indecisive weather." —Janelle Sessoms, Staff Writer
Dôen Nera Top, $238, available here: "Basically everything Dôen makes would fit in my dream summer wardrobe, and this airy cotton blouse is no exception. The poplin material, mother-of-pearl buttons and scallop eyelet trim make it special, but the silhouette keeps things versatile and timeless." —Steph
Mango Long Trench Coat with Belt, $350, available here: "I am really embracing a vibrant-yet-subdued color palette this season. Wearing an assortment of shades as if they are neutrals has been key to making my closet feel a little more joyful, even on days when I don't have the energy to plan a full look. This baby pink trench from Mango's premium line has been a go-to in my sartorial arsenal, bringing just the right amount of thrill to an everyday outfit." —Brooke
Bec + Bridge Andre Asym Top, $220, available here and Andre Overlay Pant, $300, available here: "This chocolate-colored pinstripe matching set just might be the coolest outfit in my closet. I love the combination of the asymmetrical, off-the-shoulder neckline with the built-in scarf detailing on the pants. It's sleek, comfortable and versatile enough to take me from a seated dinner to a night out." —Catie
Imogene + Willie The "Cherry" Drop Tee, $68, available here: "I'm aware that the 'cherry girl summer' came and went long ago, but I couldn't help but find myself drawn to this vintage-y fruit-adorned T-shirt nonetheless." —Steph
Damson Madder Sporty Wrap Around Sunglasses, $160, available here: "I'll admit that Damson Madder probably has a lifelong customer in me due to the fact that it puts my initials ('DM') all over its products — but the products themselves also happen to be very good. Wraparound sunglasses tend to stay put on my small head, and I love that these are decidedly more ''90s-chic' than 'sporty-fascist.'" —Dhani
GU x Rokh Utility Skort, $40, available here: "I've been on a skort kick lately — I've gone from owning none to three in the span of two weeks — and I have this gem to thank for that. Even though it's a mini length, I don't feel exposed while out and about, and don't have to constantly tug down the skirt. It pairs so easily with a lot of my everyday staples." —Janelle
Bombas x Susan Alexandra Floral Embroidered Half Calf Socks, $24, available here: "I love a fun sock, and it doesn't get more fun than the Bombas x Susan Alexandra collaboration. With small beads ornamenting printed flowers, these half-calf socks add a pop of whimsy to my outfits. They're also machine washable, so no need to worry about losing a bead in the wash." —Catie
Aguabendita Nader Posh One Piece Swimsuit, $210, available here: "It's pretty difficult to find swimsuits that offer added coverage without sacrificing fun design elements. This new Aguabendita one-piece checks just about every box for me. It has adjustable straps, letting me pull the straight-across neckline as high or low as I prefer. Plus, it's not a total cheeks-out situation. There's also a lace-up panel on each side that allows for a corsetted silhouette, but they can also be let loose for days when comfort is top priority." —Brooke
Coach Brooklyn Shoulder Bag 28, $295, available here: "Most people associate the popular Coach Brooklyn bag with its larger sizes, but don't sleep on the smaller 28. This finally ended my long search for a versatile, everyday bag that's not so small it barely fits my phone, and not so big it feels empty without a laptop and multiple books. It's just the right in-between size, and thanks to the soft leather, it still fits more than you’d expect." —Dhani
Karen Millen Tailored Check Trim Detail Midi Skirt, $199
$99, available here: "My desired aesthetic sits somewhere between Vivienne Westwood and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy (a wild combination, I know), and this midi skirt checks (get it?) all my boxes. It captures that sleek, tailored silhouette I love while also delivering an eye-catching pattern, tied together with a decorative metal cuff. Let's also hear a little commotion for the (actually spacious) pockets." —Catie
Marlyn Schiff Remy Lariat, $204, available here: "This necklace was the star of almost all of my Coachella outfits. It's so versatile, thanks to its literal open-endedness. The blue- and sand-toned beads are beautifully rich in color, and I especially love how they look against my darker brown hair. The piece can be worn tied together to make a lariat, pulled behind the neck for a choker effect, layered and draped in front and more." —Brooke
Awe Inspired Labradorite Beetle Ring, $285 $140, available here: "You'd think the idea of wearing bug-shaped jewelry would freak me out. But on the contrary, I'm lowkey in love? It's unlike anything else in my jewelry collection and has made for such a great conversation starter when I'm at events. It's been a fun piece to add to my rotation of predominantly dainty, minimalist jewelry." —Janelle
Wildflower Cases Mazzy Joya, $37, available here: "My Wildflower Cases have by far held up the best in comparison to other tech-protecting brands I've tried. Beyond their durability, the cases also have the cutest designs I've seen. I especially love this unicorn-themed one, and the whimsy it brings to my otherwise admittedly bland device." —Brooke
