The Only 35 Nordstrom Items You Need to See If You Want Good Style in 2026
While it can be tempting to overhaul your entire closet at the start of a new year, the key to achieving good style in 2026 isn't about tapping into a brand-new aesthetic. It's making subtle tweaks for an all-around stronger wardrobe—a pop of color here, a fresh denim silhouette there, maybe something made of suede or calf hair. If you're looking to make upgrades to your style this year, you've come to the right place.
I've been reporting on all the major 2026 trends to know and am always keeping my eyes peeled for what's just around the corner, so believe me when I say that this list of Nordstrom buys is the only one you need to see if you want to have forward but still classic style this year. I did a Nordstrom deep dive, and after reviewing what felt like the whole site, I've narrowed in on the 35 best buys for January 2026 and, frankly, the whole year.
