When you're on the hunt for a new pair of boots, how do you decide which ones to buy? Perhaps you consult your friends, browse Instagram, or head over to Who What Wear (good idea). All of these are excellent approaches, but there's one method I especially swear by: shopping based on reviews. I'm the type of person who doesn't see a movie without checking out its Rotten Tomatoes score, so you can bet I don't buy clothes or shoes without peeking at online reviews.
I singled out Nordstrom because it happens to have one of the most robust review systems out of my favorite retailers. Thousands of shoppers have taken the time to comment on their purchases, giving future buyers an idea of what to expect when they spend their hard-earned cash. Below, I've rounded up the sweaters, jeans, and boots with the most positive reviews to make your next purchase easy as pie.
