Celebrities are all in on cobalt blue, street style is transfixed by leopard print and faux fur, and sneakerinas aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. From where we’re standing, it’s shaping up to be a personality-driven spring, with clothes and accessories that leave room for creativity without getting in the way of wearability. But that’s just our side of the story. The rest of the picture is filled in by retailers: What pieces are the industry’s top fashion buyers and directors earmarking as bestsellers for the season? And who are the names leading the conversation?

“Spring 2026 feels like a genuine reset,” Nordstrom fashion director Rickie De Sole tells Vogue. “You can sense the creative energy as houses reintroduce themselves through new designers while reworking their heritage with fresh confidence. What excites me most is that this season isn’t about rigid trends—it’s about personal style, and the conviction to wear pieces entirely your way.”
Linda Fargo, SVP, fashion office & store presentation at Bergdorf Goodman confidently echoes this sentiment: “This will always be remembered as an unforgettable season! History happened with an unprecedented number of fashion revolutions and evolutions.” Summed up in a few words, spring is defined by “color, movement, drama, and craft!”
With the mood established—ebullient and optimistic—and the spring collections trickling into stores, what has us rapt is what will go first. Prada’s frothy skirts? Celine’s silk scarves? The Row’s Peggy clutch? We’ve hedged our bets, now let’s hear it from the retailers, below.

An energized color story drives the narrative at Nordstrom this spring, “with bold, optimistic pops coming through that feel perfectly timed for warmer months and a lighter mood,” De Sole shares. “From a shopping perspective, accessories lead the conversation—kitten heels, oversized totes, handheld clutches, and designs that marry ease with impact are what people will be reaching for first.” A trio of investments stand out: Elegant yet wearable pumps from the likes of Prada and Saint Laurent, It-bags revisited from the archives, and luxe leather jackets (collarless and with funnel necks) that slip easily into any transitional wardrobe.
