As the weeks lean deeper into spring, consider the new season your cue to embark on a style metamorphosis. Just like a butterfly crawling out of its cocoon, it’s time to ditch dreary winter palettes for one that’s bright and light — think crisp white cotton, flowing frocks, lightweight linen, and pastel pops. Spring styling feels like a breath of fresh air, and if you shop strategically, classic pieces can seamlessly transition into the summer months. Nordstrom’s new drop’s got it all in spades, from universally flattering, one-and-done midi dresses, to soft-structured blazers, and versatile linen pants, along with elevated numbers that are practically begging to be packed for your next vacay or a romantic summer wedding.
These versatile silhouettes feel modern without being too trendy, making for an investment-worthy haul that can last you for many seasons to come. Plus, many of these styles lend themself to both office-appropriate dressing and casual weekend outings, and can be styled with items you already own, like a cashmere cardigan, sleek straight-leg jeans, or a leather jacket, for a completely new look with every wear.
We’ve curated the best pieces from the Nordstrom’s new offerings, plus outfit inspiration for effortless springtime styling.

Nordstrom Drop Waist Button Front Cotton Midi Dress
Top-Quality Store Badge on Google: 4.8/5 stars
$99.50
“At first glance, I’m immediately placing this dress in my weekly lineup of outfits for the office. The crisp collar, pinstripe print, and relaxed drop-waist silhouette position it as a polished, comfortable piece that can easily be dressed up for important meetings with a sleek loafer or slingback heel. For the weekend, I switch out the shoe for wedge sandal and accessorize with a canvas tote to tie in organic textures.”

Nordstrom Relaxed Fit Blazer
Top-Quality Store Badge on Google: 4.8/5 stars
$149
“Every wardrobe should include at least one trusty blazer, but do you own a lightweight option you can swap in come spring? The Nordstrom Relaxed Fit Blazer appears minimalist and simple, with all the elements a top-quality blazer should boast, like a front button closure, notched lapels, smooth lining, and a soft-structured feel. This breezy ‘Tan Cobblestone’ colorway is inspiring more laid-back, weekend-ready stylings I’ve seen sported by the likes of Rihanna and Hailey Bieber — think: baggy denim, a vintage ball cap, and chunky sunglasses. Chef’s kiss.”

Nordstrom Sleeveless Cotton Blend Dress
Top-Quality Store Badge on Google: 4.8/5 stars
$69.50
“It’s a great time to stock up on cotton shirt dresses you can style a myriad of ways as the seasons transition — because once the temps hit 90-degree territory, you’ll be glad to have a dress that feels light as a feather on deck. Our editors are loving the sage green color trend we’ve seen in spring collections by MaxMara, Saint Laurent, Coach, and Fenty X Puma because it functions as a new neutral that compliments soft pastels or richer tones like burgundy and cognac. This silhouette is a boundlessly versatile blank canvas, so whichever accessory you frame it with, whether it be a denim jacket, knit cardigan, or smart blazer, the dress can take on a completely different attitude.”

Nordstrom Tiered Satin Halter Maxi Dress
Top-Quality Store Badge on Google: 4.8/5 stars
$149
“If you’ve got many weddings on your summer roster, a comfortable-yet-elevated gown, like this Tiered Satin Halter Maxi Dress, will be your best bet for getting through long ceremonies and receptions that bleed into the wee hours of the night. Polish off this glistening wedding guest dress with comfortable dress shoes, a dainty designer handbag, and minimalist jewelry. Or, pare it down with easy ballet flats and a sun hat for a fabulous brunch with the girls.”

Open Edit Wide-Leg Linen Blend Pants
Top-Quality Store Badge on Google: 4.8/5 stars
$69.50
“Linen season is finally here! It’s easy, it’s breezy, and makes for a foolproof, effortlessly-chic fabric for those days you crave comfort. These pants are cut like dressy trousers, with a wide-leg fit that gives them a more relaxed vibe — which bodes well for practically thoughtless outfits that still appear refined. For weekend errands around NYC, I’m throwing these on with a simple white T-shirt, white adidas sneakers, vintage sunnies, and a leather tote to contrast the soft textures. On work days, I’d style a sky blue button-up and warm gold jewelry, plus a sweet kitten heel so I’m primed for happy hour at the end of the day.”

Nordstrom Tie Back Tiered Maxi Plus Dress
Top-Quality Store Badge on Google: 4.8/5 stars
$159
“Elegant and whimsical, this Maxi Dress has me daydreaming of frolicking in a field of flowers or escaping to a remote island until further notice. Available in inclusive sizing, this flowing frock hits just above the ankle, posing the perfect spotlight for a metallic mule, fisherman sandal, or minimal Mary Jane shoe, and features flattering, adjustable cording that softly shapes the bust and waist. A stunner like this doesn’t require addition bells and whistles. Strutting along the shore? Footwear optional.”

Nordstrom Smocked Bodice Sleeveless Midi Dress
Top-Quality Store Badge on Google: 4.8/5 stars
$149
“What’s more versatile than a white midi dress? This simple silhouette cinches the bodice in smocked fabrication, then flows down from the smallest part of the waist as a supremely comfortable style for everyday. Dress it down with classic white sneakers or trendy cowboy boots for daytime, then kick it up a notch with platform sandals and a colorful top-handle bag at night.”
