A new year often feels like an opportunity to start fresh with different aspects of your life, and one area that has the potential to (positively) spill over everything else is your closet. Don't underestimate the power clothes have to set the tone for how people perceive and address you. Take stock of the pieces you reach for regardless of the season, and consider either upgrading them or growing the collection. Similarly, you can decide to try out a cool trend or acquire looks that will make a good impression when you return to the office, reunite with your friends or dress up for a first date.
Nordstrom has a wide array of pieces designed to achieve all of these goals, and more. Look to the retailer for stylish clothes available at every price point, and to give you a head start, we curated our favorite new arrivals ahead.
This Thread & Supply Shirt Jacket ($49) doubles as a top if you wear it on its own over jeans. We love when we can get a lot of wear (plus styling possibilities) out of our clothes.
This All in Favor Plissé Empire Waist Midi Dress ($49) makes an easy one to throw on and look polished in an instant. We like the plissé fabric, which has a little bit of sheen, the relaxed waist and the gathered cuffs.
Add a textured piece to your sweater rotation with this ASTR the Label Scallop Collar Cardigan ($78). We love the scalloped edges and slouchy knit fabric which gives it a homemade feel.
This Open Edit Off the Shoulder Cutout Top ($39) looks sleek and modern, thanks to the shoulder-baring silhouette and neckline cutout. Pair it with high-rise jeans or textured leather pants depending on your mood.
The luxe-looking fabric and silhouette of this ASTR the Label One-Shoulder Satin Long Sleeve Top ($59) make it irresistibly chic. We love the fluidity of it all, especially with the long sleeves.
This City Chic Twisted Stripe Long Sleeve Shirtdress ($99) will stand out at work and again at happy hour when you transition it from day to night. We like the front twist and tulip hem.
This Lulus Showing Up In Elegance Satin Midi Dress ($58) feels romantic and modern. It's designed with adjustable straps so you can achieve the perfect fit.
This English Factory Gridded Puff Sleeve Dress ($80) feels dramatic in the most stylish way. We love the sheer grid overlay which adds a feminine and charming touch.
It doesn't get any more classic and timeless than this Topshop Classic Oversize Cotton Trench Coat ($148). Yet it always feels on-trend every fall, winter and spring.
This trench-coat style 4th & Reckless Elita Belted Blazer ($88) is a classic piece to add to your work wardrobe. Everyone will instantly know who's boss.
This ASTR the Label Satin Peplum Top ($65) will look undeniably chic no matter what you pair it with. Go for effortless cool by pairing it with jeans or for polished by wearing it with a slinky slip skirt.
This Favorite Daughter Layla Tank ($118) features a fitted bodice and two halter straps for a sweet look. We love the ribbed knit material, and we can't wait to wear this top on the next date.
How cool is it that the pattern of this Topshop Cloud Mesh Ruched Off the Shoulder Top ($43) features dark floral blooms? We're also loving the off-shoulder silhouette and ruched design.
These 4th & Reckless Cher Check Trousers ($50) feature a cool check pattern and flowy silhouette that make them winners in our books. They will pair well with a corset top for evening drinks.
These AG Alexxis High Waist Straight Leg Jeans ($215) will grant you instant cool status with their laidback look and faded wash. Bonus: they are biodegradable.
