This article is part of spring fashion month, we’ll be breaking down your must-have fashion pieces over the next few months. From denim jackets to cozy sandals, we asked editors, influencers, and experts about their must-haves for spring and beyond.
Spring is officially here, which means there’s never been a better time to start your wardrobe. As the season progresses, we swap out our heavy coats, chunky sweaters and boots for ruffled dresses, lightweight blazers and sandals. But revamping your wardrobe doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Luckily, if you’re looking to shop spring’s hottest trends at affordable prices, Nordstrom has you covered.
With thousands of incredible pieces to choose from, finding the season’s must-haves can be time-consuming, so we caught up with Nordstrom’s Fashion Executive Editor Kate Bellman , she gave us some advice on what trends and styles to look for.
According to Bellman, the season’s biggest trends include refreshed tailoring that “easily creates a relaxed fit,” including trousers, soft blazers and statement shirts. Romantic dresses and details, including “beautiful lace, chiffon and ruffles” and “floral prints in a pretty palette,” were another hot trend. “Crochet, fringe and embroidery in alluring colors” also gave way to a new “smart chic” style. Finally, “cutout tops, shirred dresses, strappy sandals, plunging V necklines and mini skirts” are one of spring’s sexiest trends, says Bellman.
With all of that in mind, we’ve rounded up some of the trendiest $100-and-under clothing, shoes, handbags, and accessories from Nordstrom that’s sure to carry you through the season in mainstream style without breaking the bank.
