Classic dressing never goes out of style, but the cassics are getting more attention this year than in recent ones. Nordstrom highlights six classic trends, many of which are probably in your closet, or maybe you need a refresher piece. Here are some ideas.
Oversized Blazer
A tailored wardrobe wouldn’t be complete without a blazer. This season, opt for an oversized, casual-friendly style that you can pair with polished pieces for work and trend-driven separates on the weekend.
Rock a polished work-to-weekend vibe in this longline blazer crafted in a tailored one-button fit with flap pockets and a vented back. Nordstrom $79.00
Trench Coat
The trench coat can instantly pull any outfit together, whether it’s your most laid-back or dressed-up ensemble. It’s also an outerwear essential that you’ll keep in your closet for, well, forever.
A classic trench is outlined in contrast binding and lined in a hot pink hue that’s repeated, adorably, in the belt rivets and button stitchwork. Nordstrom $199.99
Relaxed Cargo
Cargo pants may give off a throwback vibe, but when you update the style with cool, oversized denim, they’ll become your go-to pair of jeans for the season. A tailored top and chunky shoes balance out the fashion-forward garment.
Grab your gear and go in straight-leg pants made with plenty of pockets and D-ring tabs at the hems. Nordstrom $129.00
Statement Shirting
Don’t underestimate the sartorial value of a button-up. The timeless staple gets a refresh with standout details, like mixed stripes and a boxy silhouette.
This polished button-up is crafted from rich satin with a drapey, relaxed fit that’ll keep your look on point. Nordstrom $59.00
Tailored Suit Pieces
How can you perfect a longtime classic like the suit? Try bold colors or a more modern fit, like an oversized set in a fresh turquoise hue. You’ll stand out at your next work meeting or an upcoming get-together.
Nothing says classic like linen trousers. Jazz up your next powersuit combo with these wide-leg trousers in a statement-making hue that have a vintage-inspired high waist. Nordstrom $69.00
Dresses
Dresses are a spring staple, and those looking for options beyond the usual boho, floral and mini-length styles can turn to versions revamped with tailored details, such as pleats, buttoned pockets and a structured collar.
A cotton-blend poplin shirtdress seems less serious when rendered in a cheerful shade and shaped with pintuck pleats. Nordstrom $475.00
Accessories
As for what accessories to stock up on this spring, it’s a balance of understated and interesting pieces, like streamlined shoulder bags, jewelry with architectural-inspired details and novel footwear. Top off your looks with one (or all) of these for a polished ensemble that you’ll want to wear over and over again.
Options abound with this croc-embossed leather bag that’s big enough to hold essentials plus your trusty tablet and comes with crossbody and shoulder straps. Nordstrom $319.00
