Your Ultimate Spring Shopping Guide

By now, you’ve gotten used to rolling with those finicky punches the transitional season throws at you, wearing your puffer coat one day and your denim jacket the next. This back-and-forth continues, until — bam! — the warm weather officially enters the chat for the foreseeable future. Suddenly you forget what it feels like to freeze whenever you step foot outside. When that tangible change of seasons finally arrives, you’re ready to take things from zero (hibernation) to 100 (al fresco margaritas) real quick. To do so, you might want to stock up on some springtime essentials.

You know what that means: It’s prime time to pull out the lighter moisturizers, cropped pants, picnic blankets, and outdoor running shoes as you say good riddance to those heavy layers. Sure, you may own these things already, but you can also go on a nice little shopping excursion.

Bustle’s editors have got your bases covered with a roundup of spring’s buzziest and most noteworthy products for taking full advantage of everyone’s favorite season. Think: pop-culture-themed accessories for taking your hangouts outside; brighter makeup; breezy midi dresses; fitness gear that’ll make you want to sweat; and tech innovations that’ll boost your productivity game. Consider this your spring starter pack.

Everyone has that person in their lives — the one who won’t be satisfied with any old product, no matter how good or well-reviewed said product might be. For them, the value doesn’t come from the item itself; it’s about the connection, however superfluous, the item has to the object of their obsession. People who love pop culture — really, really love pop culture — are powerless against the allure of the celebrity endorsement, the TV show tie-in, the vague cinematic association. They long to wear their affiliations on their sleeves, to cherish physical manifestations of their beloved digital media. And for these silly little freaks, Bustle has curated a list of covetable items. Go forth, and be cringe.
