Could you be wearing bright pastels in the spring? Yes. Is the obvious answer to continue wearing black instead? Also yes.

The color black is as versatile as it gets, and whoever said that it wasn't spring-forward is severely mistaken. From flowy black dresses, black leather shorts, and (of course) black floral done numerous ways — expand your closet for the season without departing from your signature color with the fashion picks below!

Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

Promising reviews: "Buy it!!! This sweater is beautiful! High quality, so soft. It’s perfect! I’m so happy with it." —Ana Gillison

"[I got this sweater] after seeing someone's video on YouTube, and let me tell you, it is an amazing material. Feels soft, and of course, I had to go with the trend. I styled it with wide-leg jeans and loafers and received so many compliments. I also pair it with leggings, and that looks great, too. Definitely recommend this..."  —Pro Shopper

Promising review: "I purchased this corset after watching a TikTok video of another mid-sized girl talking about how great it is. It did not disappoint! It fits nicely. I got lots of compliments on it! Someone else pointed out to me that the fabric looks expensive and just like another bustier listed on PrettyLittleThings for over twice the price." —Elizabeth

Promising review: "It’s incredibly versatile — perfect for work, a casual day out, or even something more low-key and relaxed. You can easily dress it up or down, which makes it such a staple piece in my closet.If you’re looking for something that feels polished... and timeless with a little personality, this is it." —Malyssa Vizcarra

Promising review: "Cute midline split skirt. I’ve seen the trend, but it’s been hard finding a skirt that fits in person, so I came to Amazon. This is probably the third or fourth skirt of this type I ordered from various companies, and this fits the BEST. It’s a great thin material, but not see-through. The slit is the perfect balance between classy and sexy. I see it being worn with sandals, then boots, and a sweater for the winter. I live in Florida, so this is the perfect material for here. Not too thick." —sim simma

Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available for XXS–3XL and in 10 colors).

Promising review: "I use this with a simple silk undergarment of the same color...From being a beach cover-up for a casual and refreshing dress for the hotter days. Size up if you have bigger arms or large breasts, as it doesn’t have any stretch to it at all." —Joan Espinoza-Gonzalez

Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in sizes XS–3XL).

Promising review: "I got this to be sort of a summer-into-fall transition item, and I’m so surprised by how comfortable it is! If you like things to fit snugly on you, don’t bother getting this because it is loose everywhere unless you tighten it all the way, but it’s super breathable and comfortable! Especially for layering!" —Brie Parry

Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in sizes XS–5X and 21 colors).

Promising review: "Beautiful and worth every penny. This jacket is breathtaking. I love it, and it looks better than pictured. It's not thin or thick, just right as an overlay or on top of a great fit. I plan on reordering in a different color and highly recommend this jacket." —LB

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL, two styles, and 19 colors/patterns).

Promising reviews: "TikTok made me buy it. This was an impulse buy, but definitely 100% worth it. This crop top is so cute, and...it’s not too cropped, which I’m a fan of....It fits perfectly, AND I can wear it without a bra. 10/10!"  —Brandy Gardner

"This top is perfect for a lot of outfits and occasions. The material is butter-soft, double-lined, stretchy, and fits just right. I don’t wear a bra with it, but you can’t see through it at all. It is so comfortable as well. It comes just right above my belly button in terms of length...Definitely recommend for everyday wear or comfy times." —Katherine

Promising review: "Love this two-piece!... It is true to size! I [didn't wear a bra with it], and you [couldn't] tell. It is easy to iron or fluff in the dryer to get the wrinkles out. It is super lightweight and very comfortable! If you’re looking for a versatile outfit that will have you feeling good, grab this one! —Fiorella Carr

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and eight colors).

Promising review: "These pants as so comfortable and flowy! I stepped outside of my usual skinny-jean outfit to try this style — and I never want to take them off! They are great casual pants for work and can be dressed up for the evening with a fancy shirt and heels. They are as comfortable as pajamas, without looking like it." —Nash

Promising review: "I saw these on TikTok, and I LOVE them. They fit so well. I'm 5'4" and 130 pounds, and I got a size 29, and they fit perfectly. Loose, but not too loose, and extremely comfy. They come down just below the ankle, so they'd pair perfectly with a pair of Jordans or Dunks. Also comes with an adjustable tie on the waist to fit as you need, same around the ankle." —annabella Gambone

This is smoothing, comfortable, and made of a very nice material that felt a lot more expensive than it actually was. They have a bunch of different styles and colors as well. I will definitely be a repeat customer!" —Madison

These flats look very similar to a certain Alaïa pair that would normally cost an arm and a leg, just fyi.  👀 

Promising review: "These flats are amazing! The mesh material is soft and breathable, and the little patent leather details with the strap make them look so chic. I wore them nonstop in Italy and they were honestly a lifesaver on the cobblestone streets — comfy, supportive, and still stylish enough for all my outfits. They go with everything, from jeans and a tee to a cute dress, and the fishnet look makes them feel unique without trying too hard. Plus, the customer service was super helpful and friendly. Definitely one of my best shoes." —Shiva

Get it from Asos for $48 (available in sizes 2–12 and black and blue).

Promising review: "I didn't quite trust Amazon Fashion, but [this dress is] amazing. Well cut, easily machine-washed, nicely fitted, and perhaps (dare I say it?) even nicer than some slip dresses I have paid much more for. I bought two more because it's kind of perfect for year-round wear with a cap-sleeve tee underneath, or a three-quarter–sleeve one, or later with a chunky sweater over it." —The Pearl

Get it from Amazon for $54.90 (available in sizes XXS–5X and in 25 colors).

Promising review: "A STAPLE piece!! I am in looooove with this hat! 🤠It pretty much goes with every outfit and adds that extra spice. I get compliments on it every time I wear it! I'm seriously going to buy it in a few other colors because I love it so much. It's sturdy but not too sturdy to where it's uncomfortable. I have a pretty big head, and it fits great!" —Brandi

Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in 16 colors).

Promising review: "Love this coat. [I'm] outdoors quite a bit, and this is perfect, from the fit, length, and quality. Great lining so you dont sweat, unlike similar coarts I've bought on the past. Drys quickly when hung up. Well worth the price. Love it. ❤️" —Asos Customer

Get it from Amazon for $58.99 (available in eight colors/patterns).

Promising review: "The perfect everyday jeans. It’s so hard to find flares that aren’t high- or low-rise. These are absolutely perfect — mid-rise with just the right amount of stretch and structure. They do run a little small, so size up if you don’t want them to be snug. I bought my usual size, and they’re tight when I first put them on, but once they stretch out a little, they fit exactly how I want them to." —Free People Customer

Get it from Free People for $128 (available in sizes 24–33 and three colors). 

Promising reviews: "This is a fantastic jacket. So cute and fits perfectly, true to size. I love, love, love it. It’s comfy and soft and just awesome." —SFC

"SUUUUPER CUTE. I have to say I am very pleasantly surprised with how much I absolutely LOVE this little jacket. I bought it solely for fashion purposes, but it's actually really comfortable. Very lightweight. Feels amazing on. Looks fantastic even on us thick-curve girls. Feels durable. I am contemplating buying another one in a different color." —Alex Bogherie

Get it from Amazon for $57.79+ (available in sizes XS–4X and over 30 styles).

Promising review: "Such cute shoes that are maybe even better than the designer inspiration! I ordered a 37, and usually am a 6.5. They fit perfectly. The footbed is more padded than the designer version. Leather is soft and comfortable on the foot. Sole is not slippery." —Emily Wilson

Get it from Amazon for $49.89+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in 10 colors)

Promising review: "Wow, I honestly had low expectations, but love this skirt! It became a staple in my closet, and I’m not one to wear colors or many prints. So silky and smooth, so comfy. Got so many compliments. The band doesn’t dig in and doesn’t look awkward. I can’t wait to get it in different colors." —Daria Z.

Get it from Amazon for $49.90 (available in sizes XXS—5X and in 24 colors and patterns).

Promising review: "[This dress is] like wearing pajamas out and about, yet looking very EFFORTLESSLY put together. I bought one in blush, grey, blue AND green. I love this dress. Accentuate your CURVES with this dress. I cannot stress it more. It has a modest neckline and shows JUST enough leg. You can tie the belt as tightly as you want to show off your waist. Tie it loose after a buffet. Tie it tight when you're feeling fabulous. It's fantastic. I really bought this in as many colors as I could." —Amy
