I Braved the Nordstrom Fitting Room to Try on the Best New Arrivals

I’m itching for spring, and I’m pretty sure you probably are, too. I’ve reached the point in the year where I simply cannot deal with the cold anymore, so I decided I’m going to try to bring in spring sooner by trying on some of Nordstrom's new, spring-perfect arrivals.

So, I headed out in the cold to visit the NYC flagship store and had fun trying on some spring staples; from sweaters to jackets to jeans, I put it all on. I fell in love with a lot of things, but after trying on close to 30 styles, I landed on 13 I loved. First up? This pretty pastel yellow pleated skirt that’s so luxe. The fabric was heavier than most of the pleated skirts I owned, but that’s exactly what made it so elevated.

I also fell in love with this asymmetrical sweater from Mango; the zipper detailing along the shoulder gave a simple closet piece a fresh, fun update. And because spring fashion wouldn’t be complete without a transitional jacket, this Free People denim jacket was key since the loose fit is ideal for layering. Of course, with almost all these pieces, I styled the must-have shoe of spring 2025: simple black slingback heels. I can’t wait to wear my new pieces—spring, are you here yet?
