Transitioning Your Closet For Spring? These Under-$150 Pieces at Nordstrom Are Perfect For a Refresh

Free People Feeling Flirty Slim Capri Pants ($98)

If you were born after the new millennium, the capri trend may appear new. In reality, the cropped pants have been an all-purpose piece for effortless dressing, especially when it gets too hot to wear denim. While you can stick to classic black capris, we suggest trying out a bold print to add a little whimsy to the trend.

Bernardo Recyled Cotton Blend Trench Coat ($149.99)

Just like your faux fur coat, trenches are a timeless seasonal piece. If you don't already own one, now is the time to invest. Trench coats are the kind of wardrobe staple you'll own for years, but you don't need to threaten your credit card limit for one that's high-quality. This under-$150 recycled cotton coat is the perfect example and is guaranteed to pass the 90/90 rule when you spring clean your closet again next year.

Free People Mania Mesh Bow Flat ($58.80)

Boots are arguably the best part of fall and winter, but don't work so well for the warmer months. Instead, slip on some flats. Mesh flats in particular have been a closet staple since last spring, so you know a new pair will be a worthy investment. Breezy and modern, these tomato-red ballet flats complement any spring look.

Treasure & Bond Lace Peplum Top ($89.50)

You can temporarily demote your cashmere sweaters for airy lace pieces and accents. There's really no limit to incorporating this trend into your closet, but this open-weave lace top combines the delicate fabric with the recently-revived peplum silhouette, making it feel both contemporary and classic.

JW PEI Hana Mini Faux Suede Tote ($99)

KonMari your existing hobo bag and downsize with a belted tote. Okay, there are a lot of oversized belted totes, too, but opting for something so small you can't leave the house with more than a phone, one credit card, and house key feels like the ultimate way to spring clean.

Sam Edelman Bambi Raffia Buckle Slide Sandal ($90)

It might go without saying but burgundy, though a great color, belongs in the winter. Replace any similarly rich shades and jewel tones for bright pastels, like butter yellow or ballerina pink. This trend is all-encompassing, extending from shoes to wedding guest dresses. Want to start small? These raffia buckle sandals are an easy way to try the trend without needing to fully commit.

Cotton On Body Ace Zip Thru Anorak ($69.99)

The barn coat trend is strong-willed — and we don't doubt you'll wear yours every single day from September to March again. But for now, your fleece-lined outerwear deserves a break — and probably a trip to the dry cleaners. Windbreakers, rain coats, and nylon pullovers are technically runway-approved as of this spring, but the functionality of the trend is undeniable. Plus, the sporty style is a dream come true for clash-conscious dressers. You'd be surprised at how well a jacket like this can pair with a lace skirt.

Good American Snake Print Faux Leather Miniskirt ($129)

Animal print has slowly but surely made its way back into the fashion zeitgeist, and while we're huge fans of a leopard print midi skirt, there's something to be said for the lighter color palette a faux snake skin print can offer. Something sleek and streamlined, like this mini skirt, can elevate your most neutral outfit.

Adidas Tokyo Low Top Suede Sneaker ($90)

Loafers are versatile enough to keep around for most of the year, but chunky luges feel too bulky for spring. If you're looking for something even more effortless and low-key, try a slimmer sneaker. With a lower sole than your average shoe, these sneakers marry the silhouette of a ballet flat with the sporty style of a Samba. Where the trendy Taekwondo shoe makes for an occasional bold statement, this 1960s reissue Tokyo Low Top is an everyday essential. Similarly low-profile, the simple design feels timeless, like something you'll still want to wear in 2026.

Mango Belted Linen Shorts ($69.99)

Office-appropriate spring and summer outfits can be tricky, but linen shorts make dressing for a 9-to-5 easier. Linen shorts may not be the sexiest piece in your spring closet, but they will be the most adaptable. From an in-office group brainstorm on a Monday to a Mother's Day brunch the following Sunday, these lightweight pleated shorts are designed for almost any occasion.

Varley Knowles Textured Cotton Vest ($98)

You may be wondering, why should we add more knit pieces into our closets if we're revamping for spring? Not all knit tops are made the same, and when compared to something like a wool sweater, they're far more seasonally appropriate. Layer this breathable soft cotton knit with a white T-shirt or wear it alone with linen shorts for an easy transitional look.

Mango Floral Crochet Sleeveless Midi Dress ($109.99)

There's nothing like throwing on a sweater dress over a pair of tights and calling it a day, but for now, we're moving on. Smocked, linen, and crochet dresses are spring staples you won't want to miss out on — especially if you're in search of a look that takes five minutes or less to put together.
