So over winter? Yeah, we’re at that point in the year where it doesn’t yet feel like spring outside, but mentally, we are all ready for it.
While it may still be a bit too chilly to actually pack away your coats and boots, that doesn’t mean you can’t start prepping your closet for the warm weather season to come in a few weeks. There are lots of great spring trends to try this year that will look great on campus, at work or even just for fun TikTok videos and Instagram selfies.
If you’re ready to turn the page on winter and start getting into all things spring, head over to Nordstrom, where lots of new arrivals just dropped that you’ll want to shop ASAP. Or, get started with the six spring trends of 2023 below that need to be on your radar (and in your closet, of course).
1. Ultra Wide-Leg Jeans
Skinny jeans have been out for a while now, but this season, denim silhouettes are getting even wider. Luckily, spring’s ultra wide-leg jeans are flattering on lots of different body types and look great with heels, flats and sneakers alike.
