20 Versatile Spring Fashion Arrivals From Nordstrom

I’ve always dreamed of having a virtual closet that cycles through every item and builds me new outfits from a few separates. Like many of you, I often fall into an outfit rut where I go into full autopilot when getting dressed. I don’t lack options (I’d argue I actually have too many basics), but I forget to have fun with my clothes—mix things up, think outside the box, and create new outfits with pieces I already love. This goal was on my mind as I sorted through Nordstrom’s spring arrivals. How do I curate versatile, fun pieces that I can style multiple ways without getting bored? I think I’ve found the answer.

Below, you’ll see the top 20 items I narrowed down from over 37,000 new arrivals. Example A: a midi skirt you could wear with a lace-trim tank or funnel-neck jacket. Example B: a ¾-length-sleeve top and white carpenter pants that you can style with blush-pink flats or leopard accessories. These 20 items feel on-trend and fresh without falling into the “wear once and throw it in the back of your closet” category. Let’s dive in.

This first category, spring apparel, is a 50/50 mix of trending items and closet staples. I’d put the Agolde Harper Relaxed Straight Leg Jeans ($248) and Dôen Melie Boat Neck Dress ($348) in the “staples” category. They’re items I’d wear now and into fall. The Leset Yoshi Stripe Cotton Blend Trench Coat ($780) and Princess Polly Kimbelle Polka Dot Halter Neck Dress ($78) feature prints that lean more on-trend for spring. But I have no doubt that every item below, be it trending or classic, can be mixed and matched.

Footwear and accessories make an outfit pop. I love the trends we’re seeing this season: fringe bags, lace hair scarves, and oversize eyewear. This is the perfect time to play with color trends such as blush pink, cognac brown, and baby blue. Whether you’re a minimalist or maximalist when it comes to accessorizing, I’m confident there’s something here for you.
