Spring is here, bringing with it some confusing weather to dress for — some hot, sunny days, some clear, chilly evenings; plenty of seasonal showers and gales, so cue all the transitional essentials. Think coordinating lounge sets and cute cardigans, luxe statement pieces (vintage-inspired campus boots and flowy Seventies-style flares, please and thanks), and functional yet stylish accessories (get ready to meet your dream gym bag).
Of course, FP faves like easy breezy milkmaid dresses, romantic slips, bold FP Movement activewear, and do-it-all utility jackets are holding their own in our edit. Whether you’re refreshing your spring wardrobe, shopping for a spring wedding, or hunting for vacation fits with that signature Free People vibe, these new arrivals have you covered.

This is about to become your most worn piece. Layer over dresses and camis, or button up and wear as a top with your favorite jeans or midi skirts. It helps that there are so many different shades to choose from too — Kelly green, buttercup yellow, lilac, heather gray… You name it.
Free People Nocturnal Solid Cardi, $, available at Free People
If, like us, you’re perpetually refreshing Depop and eBay for a pair of vintage Frye boots, get excited. Free People has finally created its own Seventies-style campus boots that are a dead ringer. Wear now to face late-winter storms, and then later with your prettiest mini dress for a cool soft-meets-tough fit.
FP Collection Blaze Pull-On Boots, $, available at Free People
Everyone needs that one throw-it-on-and-go dress — the kind that fits like a dream, is a complete outfit-in-one, and that works for all kinds of occasions. That’s what the Oasis Midi is; it’s not surprising that it’s one of Free People’s bestsellers. Now, it’s back for spring in an array of seasonal shades, like this crisp white, a soft periwinkle blue, warm dusty pink, and sage green.

These lounge pants tick all the right boxes. They’re made in a lightweight, super comfy and breathable material, and they have a super flattering, cropped bell bottom fit. You’re bound to reach for these more than your old, tired leggings.
FP Movement Let's Bounce Pants, $, available at Free People
What better way to get ready for picnic season than donning head-to-toe gingham? Break up the print with colorful sneakers or ballet flats, and your fave denim jacket or oversized knit.
Free People Retro Heatwave Gingham One-Piece, $, available at Free People
Spring may bring sunnier days, but the nights are still chilly. This 100% cotton set is the perfect in-between option for sleep and lounging; it’s a breathable, lightweight knit so you won’t overheat in bed, and the easy, oversized fit is comfy yet still refined. We’ve opted for this buttery yellow whilst we eagerly anticipate those longer days and lighter evenings.
free-est Drea Sweater Set, $, available at Free People
Last year we had the mesh ballet flat. This year? Say hello to the crochet lace ballet flat — they’re equally as breathable for all-night dancing or running around the city all day, and also add an extra touch of texture and whimsy to your outfit. We anticipate this cream design to be popular with spring brides-to-be looking for a comfy bridal shoe.
Sam Edelman Michaela Buckle Ballet Flats, $, available at Free People
This is not technically a newbie, but Free People’s cult-fave athleisure set is back in new shades. Our fave? This light, dusty pale pink which just screams springtime.
FP Movement Hot Shot Crossover Set, $, available at Free People
Though we’re desperate to throw on a summer dress, the weather won’t play ball for a few more months. To satisfy that itch, we’ll be styling our minis and tunics over jeans — also a great styling tip for lacey, barely-there slips like this.
Intimately Selia Slip, $, available at Free People
One thing that Free People does best is convertible clothing, like this skirt, which can also be pulled up and worn as a bandeau dress. Ideal for spring vacation packing.
Free People Prairie Convertible Skirt, $, available at Free People
These high-waist, wide-leg Seventies-style jeans work extra hard so you don’t have to. Not only do they make your legs look miles long and hug your bum in such a satisfying way (trust me, I own two pairs), they are also structured and sleek enough to be dressed up for work or a smart casual dress code.
We The Free Libre Wide-Leg Jeans, $, available at Free People
Whether you’re a weekend hiker or a daily dog walker, this lightweight, packable jacket is your new best friend. It’s designed to be rolled up in a bag when not in need but is sturdy enough to keep you warm and dry when the April showers surprise you.
FP Movement Singin' In The Rain Packable Jacket, $, available at Free People
Soft, slouchy, and asymmetrical in fit is the M.O. for tops this season. This perfectly fitting tee ticks off all those boxes — simply throw it on with your favorite jeans for an effortlessly cool look.
We The Free C'est La Vie Tee, $, available at Free People
Spring is the season of new beginnings and, according to the pagan calendar, is the true start of the new year — which is why you may be feeling inspired to sign up to a new workout class now, rather than in January (aka the midst of winter). And so, what better way to get yourself ready than with a brand-spanking new gym bag? This balletcore pink number doesn’t just look good, it’s also super practical, coming with multiple exterior and interior pockets, a shoe compartment to keep your sweaty gym sneakers separate, and a buckled strap to hold your yoga mat.
FP Movement Class Optional Tote, $, available at Free People
ICYMI, jorts are back and a bigger trend than ever this season. If you’re a bit nervous about dipping your toe into the proverbial denim pool, Free People’s offering is a great place to start. They have a slightly relaxed, slouchy fit but aren’t too oversized to look sloppy; and they’re available in so many different shades and washes (nine to be exact), it’s easy to find your perfect fit. Whether that’s a faded, vintage blue, icy white, khaki, or classic true-navy.
We The Free Montana Shorts, $, available at Free People
Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?
Spring, and the trends that come with it, are the ultimate reset — golden-hour strolls, that first jacket-free afternoon, and the undeniable urge to swap neutrals for something brighter. But the yo-yo weather that comes with the season has me frozen trying to figure out how to dress, let alone what new pieces I should add to my rotation. Maybe it’s the fashion editor in me, but I’m also already deep in the throes of analyzing the freshly debuted fall 2025 collections, making pinpointing what feels new right now trickier than usual. Yet, somehow, Nordstrom’s Spring Sale always helps me refocus and zero in on the staples and playful pieces I know I don’t want to be without — all while avoiding the dreaded overspend (which, I’ll admit, I’m incredibly guilty of).
So, what’s on my list? Minimalist flats — my go-to for stylish practicality. A light layering jacket, a.k.a. the holy grail of spring dressing. And, while I’ve always considered myself a "dress girl," lately, I’ve been craving more mix-and-match separates, from the latest trending denim to unfussy tops and knits I can put my own spin on with fun bags, sleek jewelry, and bold sunnies. Of course, loungewear remains a staple — for working from home, running errands, and traveling. (Come to think of it, I do need a new swimsuit for my upcoming vacay in Aruba!)
Click through for my seasonal picks, all available to shop for less right now (while stock lasts!). Nordstrom’s Spring Sale runs from March 12 to March 24, so get moving to scoop up to 50% off your favorite brands.
