Shop in Shop is a monthly column dedicated to rounding up the latest arrivals, seasonal trends, and styles from our favorite brands and retailers.

If you're reading this, I know it won't take much convincing to get you to shop, but here's my pitch: I spent the first half of my week doing market research on new arrivals, and four brands stuck out to me: Aligne, SSENSE, Shopbop, and Quince. These brands have everything from strong basics (white tees and trench coats) to buzzier pieces (tassel necklaces and striped polo shirts). For many of us, spring is when we get our style groove back. We can finally prioritize fashion over function, and these 24 items will help achieve that. Shop my curated list of fun new arrivals below.

Aligne recently launched a collaboration with the team from Sheerluxe, and to no one's surprise, it's perfect. I adore the striped polos, wide-leg jeans, and cap-sleeve linen dress. If any of these pieces call your name, don't hesitate to purchase—I fear they may sell out.

Whenever I want a pulse check on what the on-trend girls will buy for a new season, I check SSENSE. Its new arrivals include smaller brands like Flore Flore and St. Agni alongside designer brands like Givenchy. It's the easiest one-stop shop for both emerging labels and established names.

This curation from Shopbop is my personal wish list for spring. For on-trend accessories, I'm reaching for the crochet bandana, tassel necklace, and wide-frame sunglasses. For apparel separates, I'm eyeing Still Here's latest jeans, this pretty pink blouse, and the cropped jacket.

Let's talk basics! Specifically, Quince basics. They are well-made, immaculately priced, and won't collect dust in the back of your closet. These pieces are great for building versatile spring outfits, as they create the perfect base. Expect soft cotton tees, lightweight denim, and washable silk fabrics that integrate easily into a range of looks.
