It's a universally known truth that fashion editors are not patient. We're always looking forward to the fashion seasons ahead, itching to know what the next buzzing trends are and trying to get our hands on the new It items before everyone else. I am certainly guilty as charged. While we're still in the throes of winter, it hasn't stopped me from getting ahead and shopping for the coolest pieces that spring has in store.
After perusing Nordstrom's site from top to bottom this week, I've already added a handful of fresh items that hit this year's biggest trends. Take a peek below to get ahead of next season's must-have pieces, from baggy jeans to tube dresses.
This spring, we're seeing the rise of quiet luxury—a trend that ruled on the spring/summer 2023 runways—with an emphasis on pared-back elegance. Think elevated essentials in a palette of neutral hues such as clean-cut blazers, tailored trousers, well-defined duster coats, crisp button-downs, and timeless accessories void of flashy logos. These are the kind of pieces that will make your outfits look expensive and are easy to incorporate into your everyday dressing.
It's all about baggy jeans this spring. Whether you go for a trend-forward low-rise pair or stick to a high-waisted silhouette, the key is leaning into a languid, relaxed silhouette that you can wear with flats (for that puddle effect) and heels alike.
The '90s aesthetic continues its dominance into spring, with strapless tube dresses, in particular, reigning supreme. This season's iterations come in everything from classic black maxi hemlines to icy pastel hues and silhouettes cut looser from the body.
Mary Janes are stealing the show this spring. We saw a variety of iterations on the runways, from prim flats to goth heels. The best part is they can easily be styled with pants, jeans, and dresses alike.
Cargo pants are here to stay for spring. They've been a favorite trend among the fashion set for the past few seasons, and this spring, we're seeing plenty of cool new iterations, with cargo skirts, utility shirts, and jackets also coming into play. The motto of the story: the more pockets, the better.
Spring 2023's version of last season's "pretty trend" offers up a fresh and romantic array of details—from alluring sheer fabrics to icy pastels, shimmery dresses, romantic lace, and 3D floral motifs.
From leather moto jackets to trench coats and bombers, the spring runways were rife with unabashedly cool leather jackets—perfect to throw on over dresses and heels or jeans and a tee.
Denim is having a major moment this spring in the form of the aforementioned baggy jeans, the Canadian tuxedo, and fashion's favorite trend right now—denim maxi skirts. We saw them in full force on the runways, so there's no doubt cool girls will continue to embrace the fresh silhouette in the new season.
