Jen Andrews-Cater’s Instagram feed, @jenknowsbestblog, is filled with inspiring styling content. She has self-described “minimal style” and gravitates toward that pared-down yet elevated, chic aesthetic. One quick scroll through the feed, and you’ll notice a range of staples, including beautiful tailoring silhouettes, versatile shoe styles, and gorgeous bags. On that note, there are actually a few items Andrews-Cater isn’t as into right now and won’t be wearing much of this spring in favor of other selects.
Keep scrolling to check out the list of fashion pieces she won’t be reaching for. (Of course, this is all based on personal preference, and you should always wear what you love.) In addition, you’ll uncover the selects—complete with many of her specific shopping picks—that she loves and you’ll see more of on her Instagram feed throughout 2025.
Wearing: Bowler/East-West Bags
Won’t Be Wearing as Much: Crossbody Bags
“For handbags, I’m not currently into shoulder or crossbody bags despite their convenience. I love the look, sophistication, and polish a bowler or east-west bag silhouette gives to a look. And with so many designers and brands, acknowledging both of these bag trend silhouettes, you can find one at virtually any price point.” — Andrews-Cater
