No, it isn’t too early to start thinking about sandal season. This simple pair of slides puts a nature-inspired twist on the basic crossover with raffia straps and detailing.

One shopper says the sandals “hug your foot with just the right amount of stretch.”
Crochet: It’s the antithesis of winter. With a 3.75-inch brim, this lightweight, textured crochet number provides sun cover without blocking your eyes from all signs of spring, all the while letting the breeze in. It also features a hidden adjustable tie detail, so you can customize the fit. One shopper likes that it’s “not too stiff, not too floppy, and the brim is the perfect width,” while adding that they “love its simplicity.”
This basic that shoppers have “in every color,” according to one person, is designed with a relaxed fit, along with that vintage, comfy feel you get from a well-loved shirt.

Another shopper shared that it’s “so dang soft and comfortable,” and noted that it fits “slightly loose” and is a “perfect layering piece.”
There’s no question that one of the best parts of spring is the promise of sweet summer produce. From peaches to plums and nectarines, you’ll need somewhere to store them. Enter this 100 percent seagrass produce bowl, which is a stylish upgrade that will declutter your countertops while letting your bounty breath. It’s available in three sizes, and one reviewer says it’s “both functional and visually appealing.”

If you’re someone who enjoys hosting friends and family throughout the spring and summer, this 34-ounce glass pitcher is made for entertaining on warm spring days. Surrounded by woven seagrass, it has a unique handle that also offers a good grip. One shopper says it’s “just the right height and weight for pouring,” although another says they don’t pour from it at all, and use it instead “as a vase.”
Continuing with the seagrass theme, this $20 highball glass complements the picnic pitcher for the ultimate springtime table setup. This seagrass rattan weave-covered highball is made of recycled glass—fitting since it can be used again and again to elevate any outdoor place setting. Not only is it visually appealing, but shoppers say it’s “large enough that refills [are] not immediately needed.”
This textured place setting charger made with 100 percent jute fringe has a playful round shape that feels lighter—and more seasonally appropriate—than heavier placemats. One reviewer found that they “clean up easily and are durable,” while another said they’re “woven tightly and thick,” adding that the “fringe is a perfect finishing touch.”
Outdoor dining can feel extra casual no matter how much effort you put into preparing the food. Elevate the entire experience with these 100 percent linen napkins, which come in natural and ivory, and are designed to get softer with every use. Contrast stitching protects the edges to keep the fringe so it will hold up no matter how many times you hand wash them. To buy: $20; jennikayne.com.
