A well-curated spring wardrobe doesn’t have to come with a luxury price tag. Along with a fresh, sunny disposition, the new season offers an opportunity to perk up your closet with refined staples–breezy pieces that feel modern yet timeless, versatile yet on-trend. From crisp button-downs and lightweight blouses by Vince, St. Agni, and J.Crew, to flowing dresses from Deiji Studios and Dôen, our spring capsule edit is about ease and polish without the splurge.

Vogue’s Under-$300 Wardrobe Wish List:

This curation centers on high-impact essentials that are also easy to style and incorporate in any wardrobe—all under $300. Think elegant trousers or effortless skirts that you’ll reach for again and again, even into the summer months. For spring, our favorite high street and contemporary brands offer structured yet relaxed silhouettes, breathable fabrics, and flattering tones that mix and match seamlessly. To complete the look, consider a classic sandal or a sleek basket bag—accessories that tie your outfit together without overpowering it.

Whether you’re heading into the office or out for a weekend stroll, let our under-$300 edit of spring capsule essentials serve as your current season foundation.

Tops

Whether pared-back and drapey or subtly romantic, a good blouse will be your best friend for day-to-night looks. This season’s picks lean into soft tailoring, subtle details, and easy silhouettes.

Button-Downs

Crisp and classic, the button-down is a wardrobe anchor for a reason. Whether oversized or fitted, tucked or layered, it brings instant structure and ease to any outfit.

Spring Knits

The season’s lightweight knits strike the balance between cozy and breathable. Opt for fine-gauge textures or short-sleeve silhouettes that feel of-the-moment.

Tees and Tanks

The perfect tee or tank is the starting point of any good outfit. Look to our favorite brands, like Flore Flore and Éterne, for elevated basics in quality fabrics and flattering cuts.

Spring Jackets

Spring is the perfect time to bust out the in-between outerwear. The perfect spring jacket, like a light trench or a car coat, pulls a look together without feeling too heavy.

Skirts

From crisp cotton midis to lace-trimmed slip skirts, spring’s skirt lineup is all about movement and effortlessness. Pair them with tees or button-downs for no-fuss polish.

Dresses

One-and-done dresses simplify the morning rush on a weekday—throw a light knit or jacket atop to keep it office (and commute) friendly. On weekends, embrace summertime ease with woven extras and playful jewelry.

Trousers

Relaxed but refined trousers—pull-on or with a little zip—are the ultimate all-day pants. We love Staud’s gingham kick flares and a pull-on pleated pair from Donni.

Sandals

Finally, it’s time for sandals! These are the pairs you’ll live in from brunch to the beach.

Flats

When an open-toe won’t do, spring flats can add whimsy or heft to a variety of spring looks, from classic ballet styles to modern loafers.

Bags

This season, look to structured totes, woven textures, and petite shapes that feel modern and useful.
