6 Spring Fashion Essentials Will Make You Look Younger and Thinner | The Nordstrom 6 May Drop
The Nordstrom 6 just chose 6 new spring fashion essentials from Nordstrom and we agree that adding them to your summer wardrobe now will make you look younger and thinner. Most women like us over 40, tend to feel a little more self-conscious in the summer. The Nordstrom 6 May Drop might be the shopping fix you need to turn your summer pity party into a pretty party. This is how these 6 pieces can change your personal style perspective.
6 Exceptional Spring Fashion Essentials
1. Veronica Beard Blazer
I know in the summer you think less about layers and more about climate control, but this is a summer fashion essential you don’t want to live without. This versatile piece makes a casual or dressy outfit better.
The “Miller” blazer is the most flattering blazer style for all body types. This style comes with shoulder pads, an exaggerated cutaway, a deep stance, and perfectly placed pockets that all help to define your waist and slim your silhouette.
My 2023 Classic Fashion capsule wardrobe includes a navy blazer. There are so many ways to wear one this time of year. My favorite is over a dress.

A year-round fabrication like this is great, but if you run warm consider a linen fabrication instead.

2. Graphic Tee
Sometimes looking younger is as simple as dressing younger and choosing ageless closet essentials like a graphic tee. The styles from MOTHER are well made and kiss but don’t cling to the body. Swap out your solid tee in a summer outfit you already wear. I promise you’ll look and feel younger right away.

3. White Skirt
One thing that probably won’t make you feel skinny is a pair of white jeans. Last month’s drop included a universally flattering style from MOTHER, but those can be hard to come by. This summer try substituting a white skirt instead. Our pick this month is under $60!
My pick this spring is a style like this that has a little texture to it, which helps camouflage any lumps and bumps.
Take a white skirt like the one in this drop on your next vacation and wear it during the day with sneakers and a graphic tee at night with a crop top, tank, and a crochet dress or cover-up over it.
4. Neutral Shoes
This is the only shoe you need this spring. If you can find a shade close to your skin tone it will help slim and elongate your legs. A neutral shoe goes with any outfit. Add one with a heel. Extra height always puts your proportions in check and creates the most slimming shape.

5. Tank Dress
This dress from Nordstrom for under $60 comes in 4 colors. It runs long through the body so if you’re long-waisted you’ll love her. The rushing around the waist and down the sides will make your waist look smaller. The rushed on this style will creates an hourglass shape if you don’t have one. If you do, and you’re looking for a fitted column of color that doesn’t hug your hips try our pick from last month, because everyone needs a slimming sundress.
Here are 4 outfits you can make with a slimming sundress. I shared a few more this week during Coffee In My Closet on Instagram.
1. Black and White Cardigan and Sandals
2. Cool white blazer and platforms
3. Raffia accessories and a colorful button-up
4. Neutral brown shoes and bag
6. Top Handle Bag
A secret to looking younger is to stay stylish. Keeping up with trending styles and brands will keep you looking young. The Nordstrom 6 chose this Tory Burch top handle bag this month. Top handle bags are all the rage right now and one of the key pieces on my “It Girl” checklist for summer. Tory Burch seems to be making a comeback too.
