Nothing says new year, new me like a new wardrobe, but fresh off the heels of holiday gifting, parties, and travel, it might not be the best time to spend big. Of course, when it comes to fashion, you don't have to spend big to get an equally sizable result. Take one look at Nordstrom's new arrivals and best sellers, and you'd know that there's not an It-piece or basic you can't find a top-tier version of for under $200. Tops, jackets, heels, bags, polos, you name it—if you want the most 2026-feeling finds to level up your wardrobe this year, they're available, and below! I recently combed our favorite site to bring you a little best-of selection to start your year right, so to get shopping simply keep scrolling.
I'm all about the funnel neck right now.

Love a cinched shirt.
The layering is perfection.
For your next vacation.
Fun and classic.
Just add jeans.
Sometimes, sky high is the way to go.
Classic for a reason.
It's so good.
CHIC.
It's so mature.
That neckline!
I want them in all five colors.
What's better than dressing up for a night out?
Too pretty to pass up.
Now, that's a 2026-ready stud.
This color!
I could see this being the first sweater dress I ever buy.
The little hardware detail makes all the difference.
An easy yes.
Style as shown.
Not another basic sweater!
It's a need.
I'm into whatever you'd call this color.
Why yes we do still love lace-trimmed shorts.
Imagine this on vacation.
