Breaking: It’s spring. The temps are rising, our closets are cleaned out, and Free People is back with transitional weather-friendly pieces we can’t wait to get our hands on. From breezy, oversized tops to pants that won’t make you overheat come summer, here are the spring drops we’re buying from the brand that just gets it. Happy shopping.
Looking for more affordable, yet stylish ways to revamp your wardrobe this spring? Here’s how to add more color to your closet, find the right pair of jeans, and discover your new go-to bag.
An oversized tee you’ll reach for again and again…
This short-sleeve top has the same comfort levels as your favorite oversized sweatshirt, but won’t make you sweat. Due to its roomy fit, it’s a great traveling top to throw on over leggings. It’s also boxy enough to French-tuck into your shorts or jeans. Add bold earrings or a necklace to complete your outfit.
Lightweight cargo pants you’re sure to get compliments on…
The best pants are the kind that don’t feel like pants at all — just like these laidback cargo pants. The elastic waistband hits right under your belly button, and the legs billow out for a comfortable, effortless fit.
Statement-style pants you can pull on last-minute…
If you’re looking for cargo pants that make more of a statement, we recommend these midweight slouchy pants. As the name suggests, they’re made with a slightly thicker fabric, but are just as flexible as the laidback style above. We’re eyeing two new colors — Morning Oat and Ebb and Flow — and we know they’ll sell out for spring.
A pair of really good low-rise jeans…
The low-rise trend is here to stay, and this is the pair we keep recommending. These boyfriend-style jeans fit the bill, thanks to their flared design, roomy pockets, and hip-hugging waistband. The distressed versions are cute for the weekends, but the polished ones are perfectly appropriate for the office — just add elevated extras, like a button-down and ballet flats.
Chic trousers for when jeans are a non-option…
These pants are loose-fitting, barrel-legged, and about as close as you can get to wearing sweats while still looking put-together. As is always the case with Free People, they come in an array of unique colors, but we’re especially obsessed with Red Clay and Purple Smoke for spring. Pair them with a solid white tee and chunky jewelry and consider your outfit made.
A pair of overalls that are worth the investment…
Free People took their bestselling Good Luck Barrel Jeans and turned them into overalls, just in time for spring and summer. While we’re already big fans of the one-and-done look, we especially love these for their on-trend silhouette and multitude of pockets. Pro tip: Click through each color to see all of their tall and short length options.
Boho linen pants that are perfect for the beach…
These striped pants’ bold, eye-catching colors and light-as-air linen material make them 100% vacation-ready. We love that they’re versatile enough to pair with a basic tank, cropped tee, or a bathing suit top. You’ll love that they’re under $100.
A cropped tee with a twist…
Not all cropped tees are created the same. This one has cap sleeves, exposed seams, and a tapered waist for a unique, corset-inspired silhouette. This has all the makings of an ideal going-out top, but you can easily wear it with a cardigan for the office, too.
Another pair of linen pants worth considering…
We know an easy, breezy style when we see one, and we predict that these linen pants will become a staple in the summer. The cotton-linen blend is light without being see-through, even in white — but if you get a darker color, you can wear them right through next fall. Reviews say they fit true to size, but be prepared for a looser, oversized fit.
Wide-leg cropped trousers that are great for going out…
If you’re looking for pull-on pants that are slightly more elevated, we suggest these sleek chinos. The cotton fabric’s crisp, clean lines will give your outfit a polished look without weighing you down. They hit right at your ankle to showcase your shoes.
A roomy pullover we’ll be packing for every vacation…
Spring is the best time to break out the sweatshirt-and-shorts look we’ve been craving since last summer. This pullover might be one of our favorite long-sleeve options. The roomy fit makes it easy to throw on over a tank or tee at a moment’s notice, and the chic mock neck sets it apart from our 1,000 other sweatshirts. The cozy-yet-breathable material is ideal for taking along to the beach.
