Patience is Not My Virtue: 7 Spring Trends I'm Already Shopping atReplica Store
If you know me, you know that patience is not my strong suit, especially when it comes to fashion. I'm always looking forward to the fashion seasons ahead, itching to know what the next buzzing trends will be and wanting to get my hands on the new It items before everyone else. Case in point? While we're still in the throes of winter, I'm already champing at the bit to start my spring shopping.
Luckily, Nordstrom already has plenty of spring newness on their site, and after perusing their new arrivals from top to bottom I've added a handful of fresh items that hit on some of spring's biggest trends to my shopping cart. From of-the-moment slim sneakers to runway-approved bold and bright colors, shop this spring's must-have pieces before everyone else.
1. Low-Profile Slim Sneakers
Expect to see the slim-sneaker trend continue its dominance in 2026. We saw fresh takes on the trend at Miu Miu, Fendi, and more with subtle thin soles in clean white, black, and neutral hues along with plenty of pretty satin fabrics in ballet-slim silhouettes.
2. Preppy Sportswear
If you invested in a preppy rugby shirt or striped polo this past fall, then you're in luck because American sportswear is making a big comeback for spring 2026 thanks to the likes of Miu Miu, Lacoste, Prada, and more. Think collegiate stripes, slouchy V-necks, relaxed button-downs, and, of course, polos.
3. Long Pendant Necklaces
Trending long pendant necklaces are here to stay in 2026, and while we saw their popularity rise to fame this past summer, the chic accessory is also perfect to style year-round over knits and jackets alike. They're a very good investment buy for the year ahead.
4. Stovepipe Jeans
Stovepipe or cigarette jeans are having a major moment this season and it's easy to see why. The straight up-and-down slim jeans are neither too skinny nor too loose, offering a clean, elongating silhouette which feels effortless, flattering and super versatile.
5. Bold Bright Colors
A joyful Crayola color palette was seen all over the spring/summer 2026 runways, from cobalt blue to canary yellow and fire-engine red. At Loewe, Lanvin, Versace, Prada, and Fendi, to name but a few, designers are making a strong case for bold colors this year.
6. High-Vamp Shoes
The vamp is the upper part of a shoe that covers the front of the foot, and we're seeing a rise in pairs with higher-up vamps offering a fuller-coverage design. Vamp shoes are often seen in a pump silhouette with an almond or pointed toe, and come in flat and heeled styles, both of which are trending for spring 2026.
7. Sporty Jackets
From anoraks to windbreakers and track jackets, sporty outerwear is back for spring 2026. Pair one with a feminine skirt, as seen on on the spring runways, for a cool contrasting look.
