Every Major 2026 Trend Is Hiding at Nordstrom, BTW

Spring hasn’t sprung just yet, but you can shop for its top trends now. From Saint Laurent, Prada, Fendi, and more, the upcoming spring/summer 2026 collections made a swath of statements on how we can dress for the season ahead. From polished prep to ’80s excess, an eclectic mix of aesthetics, decades, and colors flooded our feeds during fashion month, which emphasized adventurous dressing with a focus on the individual.

While browsing Nordstrom, we noticed spring’s most eye-catching trends that are already available at the department store, meaning you don’t have to wait until March to enjoy them. We browsed the retailer’s site to find eight top trends you can shop right now, including jewelry and playful colors and prints. Discover them all below.

Cord Necklaces

With an emphasis on personal preferences, pendants have come back in a big way for spring. One of the most popular formats was on cord necklaces seen on runways for Michael Kors Collection, Ralph Lauren, Victoria Beckham, and Coach. Minimalist, bohemian, and breezy all at once, there’s nothing as nonchalant as a bauble of your choice swinging from a leather or woven cord at any length you desire.

Primary Colors

Let’s go back, back to the beginning… to core colors, that is. Color blocking with pieces akin to the color wheel’s six key hues popped all over spring’s runways, from Versace and Loewe to Fendi and Prada. The most popular takes layered a single-toned coat on top of an otherwise basic look or mixed and matched shades with a carefree nature for even more play.

Statement Earrings

You heard it here: Statement earrings are back. Saint Laurent’s glistening post and chandelier earrings in rich jewel tones were one of the season’s most eye-catching trends. We also spotted sparkling droplets and sculpted metals at Chanel and ACNE Studios, proving the power of a supersized style.

Rad Plaids

The spotlight shone on humble plaids for spring 2026, which isn’t surprising given the season’s work-ready undertones as we venture back into the office. Splashed across skirt suits, blazers, and—of course—collared shirts, the geometric print is once again on-trend. Its gridlock effect makes a statement while remaining minimalist and subtly equestrian, hitting multiple notes at once.

Prim Pumps

While spring’s collections are playful, they also uphold an air of sophistication. Classic pointed-toe pumps were everywhere, emphasizing that dressing up is back. Whether low-heeled, slingback, or stiletto-based, closed-toed styles stepped out on runways for Dior, Balenciaga, Saint Laurent, and more. Best of all, their classic shape adds instant polish to any outfit.

Slouchy Bags

Security handbags are the new security blankets in 2026. Slouchy, soft styles led the charge for spring, with clutches and closely held satchels bringing practicality and cherished comfort. Complementary jewel tones and standout hardware will keep the trend fresh in the months ahead.

Silk Scarves

After elegant silk scarves picked up steam as a surprising layer in 2025, it’s clear brands are betting big on the piece’s presence. Allover patterns and splashes of color flowed on scarves in Celine’s, Ulla Johnson’s, Alexander McQueen’s, and Hermès’s latest collections, from equestrian belts to retro graphics. Whether draped across tops or flowing beneath long jackets, the styling options are endless.

Miniskirts

From romantic to academic, miniskirts are making an impact this spring. Think knee-length styles in textures like denim and tweed, which bring lightheartedness to any outfit. Oversize jackets and matching tops make ideal top layers for this trend to further play with volume and silhouette.
