Welcome to Currently Trending, a special series where we highlight the products people can’t get enough of right now. Whether it’s blowing up on social media or selling nonstop on Rank & Style, this is where you'll find it.

Spring is all about transitional dressing. The season typically has a mix of sunny, chilly, windy, and rainy days, which means that layering is essential. But you don’t need to overcomplicate things: Just lean on staple styles, mix in some exciting accessories, and stick to breathable fabrics (like cotton and linen). 

To help you do just that, we rounded up a list of 20 top-rated spring essentials. Think classic tops, versatile bottoms, and bags and shoes inspired by the season. If you’re in need of a wardrobe refresh, but you’re unsure what you’re missing, look no further than the lineup below. With options from Quince, Madewell, Old Navy, and Levi’s, there’s a lot to love in this year’s roundup of essential spring styles.

All products and deals are sourced by the Rank & Style team using data and expert insights. If you shop through our links, we may earn a commission—at no extra cost to you.
