We've carved out careers from shopping, seeking out clothes we love, and figuring out ways to integrate new pieces into our closets. But as much as we want to bring home everything, well, we can't (due to real estate, budgetary, and other real-life restrictions). So we challenged ourselves to spotlight only one key item that we want to buy—and in some cases, have actually bought—this month. From super versatile, wear-everywhere slip dresses to neat takes on shirting, these are the 7 must-have pieces we really, really want. Consider your shopping list for April, done.

"I love the wide-leg pant trend—everything looks one degree chicer when paired with the sweeping bottom, from a fitted top and blazer to a crisp oversize shirt. This striped pair will complement everything I already own and elongate my frame." —Andrea Cheng, Associate Fashion Editor

A Sweater with Sculpted Sleeves

"I am loving the voluminous sleeve trend but hating how the sleeves get in your way. This top is perfect—it has super sculpted sleeves with a nice cuff and the most flattering fabric!" —Alexis Parente, Fashion Assistant

Cos, $81 (originally $115); cosstores.com

Blue-Tinted Aviators

"I am loving sunglasses with lightly tinted lenses—they remind me of the glasses my dad used to wear in the ’70s. Plus, they're light enough to wear indoors if you want to make a cool statement!" —Stephanie Araujo, Accessories Assistant

Gentle Monster, $320; gentlemonster.com

A Slinky Slip Dress

"The Protagonist silk midi dress will be my most worn piece this spring. I love its endless versatility. For day, I plan to wear it layered under an oversized sweater and with printed Saint Laurent ankle boots. And for a casual night out, I’ll swap the knit for a lightweight bomber jacket. Finally, to dress up the look, all I will need is this single Delfina Delettrez statement earring." —Callie Turner, Assistant to the Fashion Director

Protagonist, $460; net-a-porter.com
