There's no better feeling than finding a fresh supply of new-season pieces that you can mix and match for day-to-night looks. Capsule wardrobes are every fashion person's dream because they make getting dressed extremely easy. And while curating one is no overnight feat, investing in a few essentials at the beginning of the season will set you up for success. Nordstrom remains the best place to find a range of classic foundational pieces that you'll wear on repeat this spring and well into summer. Striped poplin shirts, linen maxi dresses, cotton wide-leg pants, and chic ballet flats are just some of the key ingredients to get the ball rolling. Keep scrolling to shop the 20 items for an elite spring wardrobe.
