It's a given in the industry 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 in this camp. 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 sporty jackets to elegant dresses.
Coastal Prep
According to the runways, it's all about coastal cool vibes this spring. Designers such as Miu Miu, Proenza Schouler, and Sacai mixed nautical style with East Coast prep, offering looks that embody breezy, effortlessly cool style. Lean into Breton stripe sweaters and tees, crisp button-downs, lightweight linen pants, and wind-resistant jackets to tap into the trend.

Pastel Palette
Pastels for spring may not be groundbreaking, but this season's palette feels fresh and exciting. Think icy blue, muted powder pink, soft mint green, and buttercream yellow. After months of dressing in dark shades, we’re 100% here for it.
Shop the trend:
Elevated Athleisure
Spring 2025 is infused with a sporty sensibility—think elevated athleisure staples such as chic bodysuits, technical jackets, balletcore sports bras, and half-zip tops—pieces you can easily incorporate into your everyday looks. The key is in the styling. Think about color, texture, volume, and layering pieces into your look that will make them look fashion-forward and luxe.
Shop the trend:
Retro Sneakers
From the runways to the streets, retro-cool silhouettes are everywhere right now and will continue their dominance as we move further into 2025. In the spring 2025 collections, designers such as Miu Miu, Loewe, and Proenza Schouler were all about soft and sophisticated sporty styles, and on the streets, we've been seeing the fashion set embrace '70s-inspired retro throwback styles like the Adidas Tokyos and Taekwondos, classic Reeboks, and Puma Speedcats.

Elegant Silhouettes
If "ladies who lunch" is your vibe, then you're going to love the elegant tops, dresses, jackets, and silhouettes of spring 2025. Opt for styles with sophisticated necklines and elegant silhouettes—think boatneck tops, column dresses, bow-tie blouses, and collarless jackets.
Shop the trend:
Slim-Fitting Pants
Slimmer silhouettes are stealing the spotlight in 2025. Designers brought forth chic iterations on formfitting tailoring—from slouchy straight-leg pants to cigarette styles—at Miu Miu, Loewe, Sportmax, and Tod's. The same goes for jeans so lean into the trend with one of these sleek styles below.
