From Coachella to Met Gala prep, the Ujo Shop team has had a lot going on this month. But that trust doesn’t stop us from buying the things we need the most.
NYC’s fickle weather makes it confusing whether to dress for cold or warm temperatures. Our solution? Wear both: This month, we’ve got lightweight coats, cotton blouses and eye-catching midi skirts. We’re also upping our accessory game with French girly hair pins, party-worthy jewelry and sparkling sunglasses.
Ahead, see (and shop!) all of our favorite April fashion finds.
Old Navy High-Waisted Linen-Blend Straight Ankle Pants, $40 $20, available here:“If you also tend to avoid ‘tight pants’ at all costs, I can’t recommend a good pair of linen pants (or several) enough. This is a great lightweight option and you can’t beat the prices – I’m already thinking about more colors.” —Dhani Mau, Editor-in-Chief
Sézane Gladys Hair Accessory, $70, available here:“This French pin looks so cute but looks great, it convinced me to finally learn how to use a French pin. It lifts even my laziest hair days in seconds.” —Steph Saltzman, Beauty and Style Director
Longchamp Looong L Shoulder Bag in Pistachio, $690, available here:“This soft, muted green bag has been a welcome addition to my spring wardrobe. I also love that it can hold plenty of my daily needs without feeling bulky and how easily it fits under my arm, thanks to its adjustable straps.” -Brooke Frischer, Associate Editor & Public Affairs Manager
Damson Madder Catie Ruffle Midi Skirt, $170, available here:“I can never find my name on kitschy key chains in souvenir shops, so imagine my surprise when I came across a Damson Madder skirt. It might be an exaggeration to say that this midi skirt was made for me, but its black and white check pattern with swirling ruffles feels right at home in my closet. Plus, it’s 100% organic.againit has pockets, so get ready to see me wearing this on repeat all season.” —Catie Pusateri, Staff Writer
Old Navy x Christopher John Rogers Mock-Neck Bomber Jacket,$80, available here:“The amount of self-control it took to stop me from buying all of CJR x Old Navy was no joke. (Honestly, I’m proud that I only spent a little over $200.) On my shopping spree, I wore this bomber jacket a lot: It was perfect for me to carry on while dealing with NYC’s unstable weather.” —Janelle Sessoms, Staff Writer
Dôen Nera Top, $238,found here:“Basically everything Dôen makes can fit into my dream summer wardrobe, and this breezy cotton blouse fits. The poplin material, pearl buttons and scallop eyelet trim make it special, but the silhouette keeps things versatile and timeless.” — Steph
Mango Long Trench Coat with Belt, $350, available here:“I can definitely embrace a bold yet subdued color palette this season. Wearing a variety of neutral shades has been key to making my wardrobe feel so happy, even on days when I don’t have the energy to plan a perfect look. This baby pink trench from Mango’s premium line has been a step forward in my everyday, affordable, everyday outfit.” —Brook
Bec + Bridge Andre Asym Top, $220, available here and Andre Overlay Pant, $300, available here:“This chocolate-colored matching pin set might be the coolest dress in my closet. I love the combination of the asymmetrical, off-the-shoulder neckline and the built-in scarf detailing on the pants. It’s soft, comfortable and versatile enough to take me from a sit-down dinner to a night out.” — Cathy
Imogene + Willie “Cherry” Drop Tee, $68, available here:“I know ‘cherry girl summer’ came and went a long time ago, but I couldn’t help but find myself drawn to this classic fruit-embellished t-shirt.” — Steph
Damson Madder Sporty Wrap Around Sunglasses, $160, available here:“I’ll admit that Damson Madder probably has a lifelong customer of mine because they put my initials (‘DM’) on all of their products – but the products themselves happen to be pretty cool. Wrapped sunglasses are always on my little head, and I like that these cuts are more ’90s-chic’ than ‘sporty-fascist'” -Dhanist.
GU x Rokh Utility Skort, $40, available here:“I’ve been on a skort kick lately — I’ve gone from nothing to three in two weeks — and I have this gem to thank for that. Even though it’s a short length, I don’t feel exposed when I’m out and about, and I don’t have to constantly pull the skirt up. It pairs easily with a lot of my everyday basics.” — Janelle
Bombas x Susan Alexandra Floral Embroidered Half Calf Socks, $24, available here:“I love a fun sock, and it doesn’t get much funnier than the Bombas x Susan Alexandra collaboration. With tiny beads adorning the floral print, these half-calf socks add a pop of whimsy to my outfits. They’re also machine-cleanable, so there’s no need to worry about losing beads in the wash.” — Cathy
Aguabendita Nader Posh One Piece Swimsuit, $210, available here:“It’s hard to find swimwear that offers extra coverage without sacrificing fun design features. This new piece from Aguabendita checks almost all the boxes for me. It has adjustable straps, which allow me to pull the vertical neckline up or down as I like. Plus, it’s not a completely cheeky situation. There’s also a side panel that opens with a lace-up that allows for tailoring. It can also be left loose for days when comfort is most important.” —Brook
Coach 28 Brooklyn Shoulder Bag, $295, available here:“Many people associate the famous Coach Brooklyn bag with its large sizes, but don’t sleep on the small 28. This finally ended my long search for a versatile, everyday bag that’s not too small to fit my phone, and not too big to feel empty without a laptop and lots of books. It’s right between sizes, and fits more than soft leather, thanks —Dhani
Karen Millen Tailored Check Trim Detail Midi Skirt, $199
$99, available here:“The aesthetic I desire sits somewhere between Vivienne Westwood and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy (a wild combination, I know), and this midi skirt checks (get?) all my boxes. It captures that sleek, fitted silhouette I love while bringing an eye-catching pattern, tied together with a decorative metal and spacious cuff. — Catie
Marilyn Schiff Remy Lariat, $204, available here:“This necklace was the star of almost all of my Coachella outfits. It’s very versatile, because of its real openness. The blue and sand-toned beads are so rich in color, and I really like the way it looks against my black hair. The piece can be worn together to make a lariat, pulled behind the neck of the choker and above the drained, pulled behind the neck and drawer effect above the neck.” —Brook
Awe Inspired Labradorite Beetle Ring,$285 $140, available here:“You’d think the idea of wearing bug-shaped jewelry would annoy me. But on the contrary, I’m a bit of a lover? It’s unlike anything else in my jewelry collection and makes such a great conversation starter when I’m at events. It’s been a fun piece to add to my rotation of super-small jewelry.” — Janelle
Wildflower Mazzy Joya Cases, $37, available here:“My Wildflower Cases hold up the best compared to other tech protection brands I’ve tried. Aside from their sturdiness, the cases have some of the best designs I’ve seen. I really like the unicorn themed one, and the fun it brings to my otherwise limited device.” —Brook
