Some of these pieces are suited to both men and women who want to jump-start their spring wardrobe with the latest and trendiest fashions. These five spring must-haves can be accessorized in a number of ways and are sure to remain popular in future seasons.
Blazers

Shop for women`s blazers from designers such as Calvin Klein, Jones New York and Alfani Jacket. Designers who offer men`s blazers include Lauren by Ralph Lauren and Club Room Jacket.
White Jeans
This spring, add some brightness to the denim in your closet by purchasing a pair of white jeans. This must-have item of clothing looks fantastic when paired with the brightly hued tops and jackets that are also in style. Do not worry about waiting until summer to wear white jeans; they are on trend for springtime. For women`s jeans, try designers such as Zara, ASOS and Madewell. For men`s jeans, look for designs by Levi`s, Perry Ellis and INC International Concepts.
Striped Sweaters
Stripes are in fashion for many clothing items and accessories this spring, but they`re particularly popular for sweaters. Horizontal-striped sweaters in black and white are trendy as well as sweaters with colorful stripes against a solid background. Choose a lightweight sweater that will last into the late spring/early summer season. Style&co. and Charter Club offer striped sweaters for women while Hurley Long and Izod offer striped sweaters for men.

Men can find denim tops from brands such as Denim & Supply Ralph Lauren and American Rag.
