As a Manhattanite, it's all about the street style. There's quite literally never a dull moment or a boring outfit to be seen here—the city is overflowing with creativity and personal style at every turn. Most days, all I need is a quick stroll around my block to get my fill of outfit inspiration, and I'm constantly keeping a mental tally of all the interesting styling ideas and pieces I see people wearing out and about. This season is shaping up to be a strong one style-wise. From the newest summer trends to the most coveted items, some of my favorite New Yorkers are already on top of 2024's must-haves, including trendy mesh flats and practical poplin pieces.
While New Yorkers tend to shop all over, I've curated a list of the most popular NYC fashion items from one destination: Nordstrom. I've said it before, and I will say it again. There's no place like the retailer when it comes to shopping for the latest pieces. Ahead, I'm sharing an inside look into the top summer buys NYC girls can't get enough of that can all be found at Nordstrom.
The two-tone look is so hot right now, and no one gets that quite like New Yorkers.
Sandals cute enough to wear to dinner but practical enough for the city.
Elegant and timeless but somehow still the moment.
This jewelry vibe only.
The piece they're wearing with everything from sandals to flats to boots.
Speaking of flats, mesh styles basically run the borough.
NYC has never been known for playing it safe. Naturally, the city is rife with capri looks right now.
This neckline is giving classic tanks a run for their money.
Whether or not they have a ticket booked to the South of France, NYC girls are still sporting retro scarves in their hair to channel the energy of a Euro summer.
Reformation's best-selling top looks so good on everyone who wears it. I'm honestly surprised that I haven't ordered it yet.
I spot barrel jeans out in the wild at least three times a day.
The outfit finisher you'll literally never regret.
It's a thong sandal summer. Tell a friend.
For the beach—or just your friend's rooftop.
House of CB dresses are a huge hit here, but especially this elegant bateau-neck style.
A no-brainer.
Nearly half our NYC office owns these. Plus, they're on sale. Need I say more?
Denim shorts aren't as popular this summer, but if I do spot them, it's always a Bermuda style like this.
This color basically runs the city.
The ultimate weekend vibe.
They're very into cord necklaces that are quirky but elevated.
These Samba colors just keep getting better.
The drop waist, the bubble hem—this dress ticks a lot of trendy boxes.
Every outfit looks better when these are involved.
No, I'm still not over longline vests and won't be for a while.
When I go into the office, I see so many tailored shorts.
How cute is she?
So sleek.
Compliments incoming.
I love the fitted waist on this skirt.
