I spend a lot of time perusing through a range of online shops as I’m doing market research for various stories. Three stores I scroll through consistently every week would be Nordstrom, H&M, and Madewell. It’s this trio that really stocks a range of items—whether that’s a staple basic, a trendy pair of shoes, or a seasonal standout. On that note, I thought I’d share with you some of the items I think are best from each of the brands in question right now.
Interested? Wonderful. If you keep scrolling, you’ll uncover a smattering of finds that I think are truly top-notch at the moment. I’m talking everything from gorgeous knitwear to no-fail denim cuts to chic boots. Okay, enough chatting. Go on to find a curation of fall items—separated by category—that I think you’ll love.
