Ready for some fresh Nordstrom buys? Over the past few weeks, I've done a ton of trend research for the year ahead, poring over the spring/summer 2024 collections, studying what designers like Gucci, Prada, and Bottega Veneta sent down their runways last month, and scanning my social media feeds to find out which looks people are talking about the most from fashion month. In other words, I have a pretty good idea of what's to come in fashion next season, and I plan on shopping accordingly.
Based on my findings, I've come to the conclusion that the 39 Nordstrom items you're about to see below—from the designer shoulder bag that will be the blueprint for every other trendy bag to the color that magically elevates anything and the fresh wardrobe basics that everyone will wear—qualify as some of the buzziest finds of the moment and will be important throughout 2024 as well. I'm particularly excited about each of these items, and I know you will be too.
Andiamo literally means "let's go" in Italian, and that's exactly the mood that many designers were in this season. They tapped into throw-it-all-in-and-go bags that are meant for the busy woman who does it all, so even though Bottega Veneta introduced this style last season, its relevance is only growing.
Yes, sheer dressing is still very much a thing for spring 2024, but this time, expect to see delicate see-through fabrics that are actually lined, making the most wearable iteration on the trend we've seen to date.
