Spring Closet Updates: Luxury Pieces by Black Brands We Love

The weather is changing, the days are getting longer, and that can only mean one thing: a spring wardrobe refresh!

If you’re anything like us, comfort and style can go a long way for a busy Brown Girl on the go. That’s what makes having a work-friendly capsule collection the must-have extension to any wardrobe. Technically, you can create your wardrobe at any budget using inspirations from the finds below, and the true key to successfully building a capsule collection lies in the curation of your color palette first and foremost. Keeping in mind your overall color palette when updating or building your collection will increase the number of interchangeable outfits you can create from a select few pieces. This is incredibly helpful for work trips where you don’t want to hassle with checking luggage and can limit your items to carry-on only.

The second key to success lies in the maintenance of your collection through seasonal change-outs, giveaways, and additions. Depending on how drastic seasons change in your city, swapping out or updating a few items as the seasons transition could be needed; while some items can be layered up or worn year-round. So now that Spring has finally sprung, let’s get on with the finds, shall we?

Personally, we are big fans of investing in high-quality pieces as budgets permit, even if it means planning ahead a few pay periods or giving up Uber Eats and DoorDash for a month. But that doesn’t have to be your reality, nor is it always ours with every update. The overall intent is to create a fluid collection of long-lasting classic wear that can stand the test of time, be fashionable, and keep us moving light and bossy when the gods of business travel call for adventure.

Here are a few pieces we’ve got our eyes on for Spring by Black designer brands we love.
