I Did a Nordstrom Deep Dive—Here's Every Under-$300 Find I'm Endorsing for Spring


The volume of new arrivals at Nordstrom is overwhelming at the best of times, let alone at the cusp of a new season. Luckily for you, my editor tasked me with an epic Nordstrom deep dive, saving you hours of endless scrolling. As a fashion editor, I don't want to ever encourage anyone to buy things they don't need or that won't deliver when it comes to quality, so I am always picky when compiling a shopping edit like this one.
I combed through the entire new-in section to bring you a concise edit of the best items to buy for spring, and they're all under $300. They are design-led pieces that all have an elevated aesthetic, but I made sure not to pick anything that would quickly fall victim to the fickle trend cycle or be hard to style. Highlights include a pair of Puma Speedcat sneakers (which I think are 2025's answer to the Samba), a Reformation blazer with a corset-like construction, and oversize aviator sunglasses that are in line with one of the key trends in our spring/summer 2025 accessory trend report. Keep reading for 24 of the best pieces I found at Nordstrom for spring and beyond.

One of the key accessory trends for 2025 is retro oversize aviators.
The dark wash looks especially elegant when combined with this collarless silhouette.
This would look stylish tucked into high-waisted wide-leg jeans.
White can freshen up your winter staples for the change in seasons.
The brown suede and the gold buckle make this a refined choice.
