Spring Style: Bold & Wearable
Spring 2026 trends are leaning bold but wearable — minimalist wardrobe essentials, chic denim and 'It‑girl' accessories are dominating editors’ picks this week (marieclaire.com) (whowhatwear.com). Nordstrom’s Spring Savings Event runs through March 23 with up to 25% off Mango, Topshop and COS — a quick way to grab modern silhouettes and spring colors (whowhatwear.com).
Levi’s Wedgie Straight‑leg jeans are shown marked from $98 to $74 in Who What Wear’s roundup, while AG’s Hattie jeans are listed at $176 (from $235) and Good American’s relaxed straight pair is $119 (from $158). (whowhatwear.com) Marie Claire’s edit highlights multiple sub-$100 spring options — including linen pants, lace‑trim satin shorts and peplum tops — and flags trend-specific shoes like high‑vamp ballet flats and jelly mules as transitional staples. (marieclaire.com) CNN Underscored notes that while Nordstrom advertises 25% off, its pricing review found deeper effective savings versus brand retail on some items, with examples showing up to roughly 46% lower than the brands’ typical prices. (cnn.com) The Strategist (New York Magazine) counted the sale inventory as sprawling — highlighting more than 500 pages of deals and compiling a list of 73 best buys across women’s, men’s, kids’ and home categories. (nymag.com) Who What Wear’s shopping director names jeans, tops and shoes as the “big three” categories to prioritize this season and lists included brands beyond fast‑fashion names — Levi’s, AG, Veronica Beard, Good American and Adidas all appear in the editor picks. (whowhatwear.com) Specific accessory highlights called out by editors include the Tory Burch Reva calf‑hair ballet flat and the Tory Burch Virginia Nylon Cylinder shoulder bag (priced around $158 in the edit), plus lower‑ticket finds like a $60 Benson loafer cited in sale roundups.
