A Gen Zer Walks Into Nordstrom—Here Are the 57 Trendy and Cool Buys They Find
As someone who falls into the category of Gen Z, I've always found it tricky to find pieces I really love when taking a quick look at the Nordstrom site. I always see other editors' great finds, so I decided to take a deep dive and ended up proving myself wrong. It's already been established that Nordstrom is a great shopping destination for basics, but if you scan the site on an editor level, there are plenty of fun and trendy pieces waiting for you to find them. Don't be fooled by the word trendy because any of the items below will get a ton of wear.
Nordstrom not only has its own brands like Open Edit and BP., but it came to my attention that it also houses some of WWW's favorites like Mango, & Other Stories, and Lisa Says Gah. Basically, it's a candy store for the fashion set, and I found all the full-size chocolate bars. I relayed all 57 items that caught my eye below so you don't have to do the hours of scrolling that I did.
You'll get a ton of wear out of this. The patchwork detail makes it cooler than your average button-down.
Instead of opting for a basic long-sleeve shirt, try one like this that is still simple enough to style in many ways but has a fun detail that draws attention.
Now that's a unique designer bag. (Plus, it's under $100!)
Be daring and go for the entire set or opt for the top as a statement piece.
This collaboration is everything.
The square toe make these ballet flats feel so much fresher.
Pantone announced that the color of the year was Very Peri, so I predict all shades of purple will be taking over in the near future.
I know these are pajamas, but is it bad I want to wear them to brunch?
YanYan makes me want to wear fun knitwear all the time.
There are butterflies on the back pocket, in case you needed more convincing.
I don't own a cable-knit sweater yet, but I'll be starting with this one.
The perfect pair of relaxed denim.
