Spring is starting within days, and I have assembled my capsule wardrobe for the season. Of course, I may add one or two items as the season goes on; I am eyeing a trendy floral top with puff sleeves.

Speaking of puff sleeves . . .they are back! That didn’t take long. It seems like ’80’s puff sleeves were just a hot thing, and here we are again! So, I am trying to not go too crazy on this cheeky trend. I bought one, very affordable, striped puff sleeve knit top for the spring season. It will pair well with my denim maxi skirt and jeans. It will be too casual for the office except on casual Friday.

On the topic of denim. . . it’s hot! Then again, when is it not? But, I digress. . .

Denim is on everything right now. So, keep your eyes posted for any type of clothing in denim as well as denim shoes and handbags. If you already own something like this from last time everything on the planet was denim, pull it out of your closet and wear it now! If not, don’t be afraid to indulge in something denim that is not pants. It’s a fun trend which recycles itself every so often.

I don’t have any really formal events this spring season, so this shirt dress will turn into a workhorse. It can be worn to the office as well as casually and for springtime events. It is quite versatile since different shoes and bags dress it up or down. Love this classic piece! I highly recommend investing in one for your wardrobe. Mine comes in regular and petite. Love that!

It is spring shoe season! Since the weather has warmed up, my footwear has lightened up. This is the perfect season for slingbacks, flats, and sneakers. I just realized I forgot to photograph my sneakers! They will be in the shopping widget below.

Have you heard? Woven leather is huge this spring/summer! In fact, woven slingbacks might just be the IT shoe style for the warm weather seasons. Love that!

We are seeing woven shoes in black, shades of brown, shades of white, and gold leather for spring. I was tempted to get the gold, but I do have loafers in a soft gold which I didn’t reach for very often last year, so I decided to go for brown in anticipation of getting more wear out of the shoes. I have already paired them with my shirt dress and my maxi denim skirt. Loving the woven slingbacks for spring!

These classic suede high heels are perfect for wearing throughout the workday as well as to events. They have arch support! The arch support makes them comfortable, and I am able to wear them for a longer time than regular high heels. Love!

Handbag capsule wardrobe spring 2026

Since spring weather has arrived, I have already pulled out my spring capsule wardrobe for 2026. When it comes to handbags, my tried and true favorites will be front and center. Love!

As far as handbags are concerned for spring 2026, the anonymous handbag is still king. Handbags should be investment worthy and offer high quality construction as well as practicality. Love this era in handbags!

Spring 2026 is all about the belted tote, early 2000’s IT bags, pops of color as well as classic neutral hues, and drawstring bags. While I have a soft and slouchy drawstring pouch bag, I don’t find myself reaching for it, so I didn’t include it in this post.

My favorite handbags for spring 2026 are my small, belted totes, my Balenciaga City bag (moto style), my little green loop bag, this classic black shoulder bag, and my beloved caramel top handle bag. These are the bags I find myself reaching for often, and they are currently getting the most use.

My larger bags will be perfect during the day, and my small shoulder bags will be perfect in the evening, as well as days when I want to carry a smaller bag.

What are your favorite handbags for the spring 2026 season?

Thanks for stopping by!
