Whoever said black floral wasn't a spring print is simply ~wrong~.
Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A versatile sweater vest with stunning gold buttons and a cropped hem. Wear a turtleneck underneath on those extra chilly spring days *or* wear it solo and let it take center stage! Either way, you (and everyone else) will love it.
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
Get it from Amazon for $14.10+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 13 colors).
2. A silky smooth satin mini dress that has adorable and adjustable double-bow straps so you can customize it to fit you just right. Anyone who has plans for a cottage-core picnic set up with friends or a fancy date night with their partner should own one of these, in my opinion. 👀
BTW, reviewers suggest sizing up!
Promising review: "So sutesy!!! As someone with larger tatas, I was surprised that this fit, and you could definitely make it work with no bra!... I really love the length too!" — ashcrl
"This dress is literally perfect. It's the perfect length and has thick fabric!! I am 5'8 and sized up to an XL, which is a little roomy, but that's how I like it... Absolutely perfect 😇." — trinitly
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $39 (originally $59; available in sizes XS–XL and 13 colors).
3. A strapless mesh bustier because the corset trend will never go out of style, and this one — with a zipper! — is one of the cutest, most affordable, and easiest to get into. This top comes in 12 (!!) cute and bold colors; you may want a different one for every day of the week.
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
Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in sizes 00–20 and in 12 colors).
4. A black pleated skirt sure to be in heavy rotation. It's lightweight, flowy, long, and a piece that can be worn during many seasons. Picture yourself at a destination wedding in this skirt and also going to a casual family gathering up the street. You'll look great on both occasions in this beauty!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This skirt is a perfect wardrobe staple! The waist has a nice stretch to it. The length hits just below the knee. I get a million compliments on this skirt any time I wear it. I've had it for a year and a half — the color is still nice and black. I wash and dry it like normal, and it's always looked great!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in eight colors).
5. Or a floral skirt with a side slit that still radiates spring vibes without you losing the cool, all-black look you strive for. It's lightweight too, so it's perfect as the weather gets warmer!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
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 $19.99+ (available for XS–XXL and in 29 colors).
6. A black organza dress you can wear over a mini dress, jeans, or just about any outfit you want to give some goth flair to. If you want it to be the star of the show, make sure to snag a plain black slip to wear underneath!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I use this with a simple silk undergarment of the same color...From being a beach coverup 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 $21.74+ (available in sizes XS–XL).
7. A stylish overall jumpsuit that'll take a casual T-shirt to the next level. It has deep pockets, a comfy oversized fit, and even comes in tons of cute prints!
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 $29.99 (available in sizes XS–5X and 23 colors).
8. A bomber jacket – the perfect finishing touch to an all-black ensemble. It's the ideal kind of coat for layering too.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
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 $35.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL, two styles, and 23 colors/patterns).
9. A cropped tank, a stylish basic that is absolutely essential to have in black. Reviewers say it's so supportive that no bra is needed. I repeat: NO BRA is needed! 👏
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
Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 30 colors).
10. A two-piece matching linen-blend set complete with a one-shoulder crop top and ~adorable~ high-waisted paper bag-style shorts. According to reviewers, both of these pieces are comfy and breathable, making it the perfect choice for one of your spring vacation 'fits (as long as you're avoiding the White Lotus resorts). Getting it in black means it'll work as an evening outfit, too!
www.amazon.com
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 drier 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 $34.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and seven colors).
11. A high-waisted pair of wide-leg pants that look super classy and professional but feel like you're walking around in your lounge clothes. TL;DR: These will be their new go-to fancy pants.
P.S. Reviewers suggest sizing up!
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
Get it from Amazon for $27.97+ (available in sizes XS–2X, in long and short lengths, and in 28 colors).
12. An ultra-soft cardigan because no closet is complete without this staple! It's made of a blend of soft cotton and warm wool perfect for this time of year. You'll probably wear it seven days a week because it's just as lounge-worthy as it is brunch-worthy.
Richer Poorer
Richer Poorer is a small business based in San Juan Capistrano, California.
Promising review:"[Love] the overall fit of this sweater. Pockets are perfect, and the whole look draws compliments." — Georgia Bennett
Get it from Richer Poorer for $125 (available in sizes XS–XL and in six colors).
13. A polka-dot organza-sleeve top with sleeves (which you can wear up or off-shoulder) that are the definition of ~va va voom~. It's trendy and eye-catching, and you will *not* want to take it off! Your next #OOTD post is about to go viral.
Promising review:"I was surprised at how great this looks and feels! The lace isn't itchy at all, the bodysuit is super soft, and I love that it has three snaps across; it makes it so I don't end up with a wedgie! Love it! Getting white next. 😍" — Colleen
Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in sizes XXS–3X and nine colors/styles).
14. A nice layering crochet bolero to take a plain ole tank top and turn it into an ~ensemble~ instantly. And if you're thinking the black color option would go with every tank top in your closet, you'd be correct!
Beginning Boutique is a woman-owned small biz based in Australia. They're the home of tons of bright and trendy fashion pieces, so be sure to take a look at everything!
Get it from Beginning Boutique for $25 (originally $59.99; available in sizes 2–8).
15. A pair of TikTok-viral cargo pants that have the perfect oversized fit, tons of pockets, and an array of color options that'll have you tempted to get more than one pair. (I said "tempted," I know you're going for black!)
Check out a TikTok of the cargo pants.
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
Get them from Amazon for $39.99 (available in men's sizes 27–44 and 42 colors).
16. A pair of braided-strap heels for when the occasion is a little more fancy. Reviewers say these are ultra-comfortable, too!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 5–11, standard or wide fits, and in 20 colors).
17. A fitted button-up vest with a cropped fit that'll look great with any high-waisted pants or skirts you already have in your closet. It's an easy way to look casual but not *too* casual.
Promising review:"Super super cute. True to size, not stretchy, not super heavy fabric. Withstood 95° degree weather just fine!" — Alexis Millsaps
Get it from Amazon for $29.98 (available in sizes S–XL and 18 colors).
18. A classic sophisticated blazer truly worth the investment because it can make any (*literally* any) outfit a head-turner. While it may seem splurge-y option, this gem is of high quality that'll get you through all of the office days and fancy events you'll have for yeaaars. And with the structured fit and single-breasted detail, this needs to be a closet staple!
Mango
Get it from Mango for $129.99 (available in sizes XXS–4X and in three colors).
19. A pair of black Adidas running shoes because not only do they go with every workout 'fit, but reviewers say they're incredibly comfortable, too! So whether you're wearing these for a jog or just to ~run~ some errands, you'll be good to go.
Promising reviews:"These are a really great pair of shoes they are true to size and feel like I'm walking on a cloud all day. I'm a delivery driver, and these work amazing for me because I am on my feet all day. I will definitely be buying another pair 😍." — Kelsey

Get it from Amazon for $49.95+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in 20 colors).
20. A stylish and breathable off-shoulder jumpsuit you can wear while relaxing at home, but easily throw a classic blazer on top when you've got an important meeting. With the jogger-style bottom, you're sure to be comfortable and (effortlessly) cute all day long.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review:"This jumpsuit is amazingly comfortable! This romper fits me great! I can dress it up with heels, wear it casually with vans, or even super comfy with some sandals! It is soft and breathable and is made with great material. It also looks lovely as a scoop neck. I am so happy with this purchase!" — Brandy B
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes S—3X and in 32 colors).
21. A pair of Steve Madden ankle boots that are the definition of a chunky shoe. The classic black color means they go with everything, which is exactly what you want when investing in a good boot. The padded insole and 2.25-inch platform heel will give you the height without the pain, and I can't say no to that!
Promising reviews:"These boots are hands down the best value for money spent…they are comfortable and add versatility to your wardrobe! I highly recommend and will be buying in brown as well!" — Samantha Prestenbach
Get it from Amazon for $29+ (available in sizes 5.5–13, standard or wide fits, and 10 colors).
22. A soft off-shoulder maxi dress because it's comfortable, sexy, and will fit your body like a glove. The cozy knit material makes it an easy favorite for chilly evening events this spring... including the wedding you plan to sashay the night away in, but is (for some reason) being held outdoors.
Asos
Get it from Asos for $76 (originally $101; available in sizes 2–14).
23. A super cute sweetheart bodysuit reviewers say is worth *every* penny! It's made with especially smooth and buttery material from Pumiey's Smoke Cloud collection, and the elegant neckline kicks it up from a maybe to a must-have.
Promising review:"Comfortable and worth every penny! This bodysuit is amazing! The material is not sheer, and the cut is [fits well]. The thong portion is surprisingly comfortable, which is a big plus. I'm pretty sure I need it in every color now! The price is reasonable, and the fabric is warm and comfortable. Highly recommend!" — Emily Kahle
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–3X and 10 colors).
24. A pretty puff-sleeve mini dress with drool-worthy details like the square neck and adjustable sleeves you can wear on or off the shoulder.

And a VERY similar version in plus sizes (L–4X) for $29.96 (available in seven colors).

Promising review:"This outfit is perfect for a concert, date night, or out for dinner. The fabric is cool and lightweight for these warm summer nights. The fabric has a gentle give to fit your curves nicely. I like that it is a two-piece because of the versatility of the top. I can pair it with slacks or jeans for a weekend trip! I would love to have this game outfit in another color!" — Adelaide R.
Get it from Amazon for $41.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 11 colors).
26. A turtleneck mesh bodysuit and bralette bound to have heads turning and people asking, "Where did you get that!?". The party won't start until you walk in...wearing this!

Get it from Rebdolls for $49.90 (available in sizes S–5X).

Promising review:"These faux-leather shorts are a must have! Very stylish and comfortable. Great price and quality all in one. Love the length; not too long or short. Functional drawstring, functional pockets." — Ely
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in five colors).
28. A preppy cardigan sweater dress because it's the perfect transitional piece from winter to spring. Throw some leggings on underneath if you need an extra layer, and undo those adorable heart-shaped buttons to wear it as a long-line sweater coat!
Eloquii
Promising review:"I LOVE this dress! It's sooo soft. It's a thicker knit but not stiff, and it has those adorable heart-shaped buttons all down the front. I'm 5'9" and it covers my calves...I liked it so much that I have it in both colors, black and light pink. — lzii01
Get it from Eloquii for $35.99 (originally $109.95; use code "EQLOVEIT" for this price; available in sizes 14–28 and two colors).
29. A comfy yoga romper reviewers say is comparable to the more expensive Artizia version. It comes complete with *perfect* stretchy material and adjustable straps. I'm not saying this will motivate you to do yoga, but you'd look super cute in this if you did!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I actually love this piece, especially for the price. It has a good amount of compression but not too much to where you have love handles. It's not see-through and a good length for me." — Alyssa V.
Get the two-piece set from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and seven colors).

"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 $27.45+ (available in sizes XXS–5X and in 26 colors).
31. A wide-brim hat so you have the perfect accessory for an unfinished outfit (and the perfect accessory if you're having a bad hair day). It features a cute belt buckle accent and is made of the perfect wool-blend texture!
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 $24.99+ (available in 14 colors).
32. A fully lined puffer jacket to keep you as warm as possible during those especially breezy moments of spring. With a high neck that zips all the way up and ribbed cuffs that'll help keep the cold out, you'll be cozier than ever this time around.

Princess Polly
Promising reviews:"Best puffer jacket ever! I can't believe it took me so long to buy this puffer! It's my new favorite jacket! It's such amazing quality and keeps me so warm! The fit is also true to size, so if you're unsure about sizing, get your normal size!" — Olivia F.

Free People
Promising reviews: "Perfect black flares. Bought these to wear for a night out with friends, and they were perfect! Super comfy to dance in, and love the high waist. They do run on the long side, though, but they were fine when I put on a pair of heeled booties...Def would recommend!" — tkowalski

Get it from Amazon for $56.21+ (available in sizes XS–4X and 42 colors/styles).

www.amazon.com
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

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 waist 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
