Now that winter is finally coming to a close, it’s time to start thinking about retiring our heavy jackets and coats to make space for some warmer-weather pieces. With the new season in mind, we decided to get in touch with our favorite Nordstrom fashion editors to get the lowdown on what is in this spring, and they gave us plenty of good news. Classics like well-tailored blazers, lightweight sweaters, and trousers are back this season–but with a nod to individual style and comfort. So now’s the time to splurge on a tailored blazer or lightweight trenchcoat–they will never go out of style, but they’re also on-trend right now. You’ll also see plenty of wide-leg pants, but with a sophisticated, polished feel (say goodbye to the slouchy-meets-sloppy silhouettes), and added pops of color in accessories like shoes and bags.

As I previously noted, preppy styles are also in vogue, so treat yourself to some gingham and madras prints, but don’t overlook those timeless tweed sets updated for the current season. Nordy’s editors also noted that abstract prints will replace traditional florals, and for men, we’ll continue to see dressed-up denim and easy-going bottoms like joggers. As for color palettes, all shades of pink are still going strong, which makes me feel like the future is rosy, but you’ll also still see plenty of neutral hues as well.

Scroll through to check out some of the top Nordstrom-editor-approved splurge pieces alongside their budget-friendly counterparts to add to your lineup this spring.

Veronica Beard Scuba Jacket

SPLURGE: This highly-rated jacket is worth the splurge according to reviews; an all-season, all-occasion piece that elevates anything it’s paired with. Made from a stretchy Italian scuba fabric, the updated zipper welt pockets and polished snaps give the classic a thoroughly modern update.
