The Jeans, Tees, and Sneakers With Outstanding Nordstrom Reviews

If you’re looking for the best of the best in comfortable, low-key clothing, you’ve landed in the right spot. Yep, we highlight the top-rated fashion items across all categories, including this recent story on the best-reviewed loungewear. Today, we’re continuing with an edit of the top-rated pieces in a trio of categories that fits well within that casual-dressing range: jeans, tees, and sneakers.
Given that Nordstrom is a universal go-to for many of us, we decided to focus on the everyday items that have the best positive reviews at this retailer, specifically. What you’ll find below is a culmination of affordable basic tees, of-the-moment denim cuts, and classic sneakers that all have at least four out of five stars. We also share a customer review for each item to better inform your purchase, in case you're shopping right now.
"These are perfect, I have shopped for jeans for months and then decided to try Levis, again, wore them in HS! They are the best, just plain jeans as I remember them, great weight and style, nothing schmancy about them, but that's exactly what I wanted." — Kindin
"Super cute and fit like a dream! I love these jeans. They are very comfortable, but very long. I have a 32 inch inseam and I would say these are about 3 inches too long for me. Really great jeans for the price point so I don't mind having to pay to get them hemmed." — kclvsnordstrom
"This is the best little cropped T-shirt!! I seriously bought 2 in black and 2 in white just because I know I will be wearing these on repeat this summer! The perfect fit and length to go with leggings, joggers, shorts, skirts, everything! I would say this is a closet [staple] for sure!" — AshOt
"I have been waiting patiently for this shirt to be brought back! It is the perfect top for layering and looks [good] with skirts, pants, jeans, or whatever you pair it with. It is true to size and fits nicely. I’ve bought every color and will buy more if/when additional colors are available. This is a wardrobe staple!" — SusieQ858
"After trying several jeans with the high waist and cropped look to only have them hit the floor I finally found these!with a 251/2 inseam they are perfect. There have no stretch which gives them a good quality feel and yet are not stiff. The frayed hem is of good quality and doesn’t have an overly worn look." — MichelleKS
"I was looking for [a dressier] looking t shirt for the summer, and this fits the bill. I'm a small/medium, but chose the small based on the recommendation. It’s fitted, and the material is very nice. It’s a little sheer, but in black and animal print it doesn’t show much." — namaste26
"I looooove these. They aren't super stretchy. I am normally a 25 or 24. I bought [them] in a 24 and at first they were tighter than I'd prefer but after wearing them the loosened up little, the equivalent of like 1/2 a size. I have worn them many time and just love them!" — KTLALA
"I am a size 20, and these jeans fit perfectly! I've washed and worn them several times, and they come out looking nice except for a quick iron touch up on the hem. The pockets are huge, which I love, but can sag open at times. The legs are wide and create a nice line. The fabric is soft and gives just enough to be comfortable. It is medium weight, so good for year round wearing. The D rings on the belt work well. I live these jeans and wish I could wear them more often." — IdahoDee
