I am all too familiar with Nordstrom's new-arrivals section. It's a place of refuge that I often turn to when I'm in need of some fashion inspiration to liven up my closet situation. You can spend hours scrolling through the seemingly endless pages of all things new. The most impressive thing, though, is how many brand-new items have already achieved a coveted five-star rating. Usually, that caliber of success takes time to build, but not for these items.
I've never been one to leave reviews, so the fact that people take time out of their days to rave about these finds gives them a lot of merit in my eyes. There's a ton of range in the styles that just hit the site, like top-rated summer wedding-guest dresses and designer heels to Bermuda shorts and casual denim. Below, shop 32 Nordstrom items with a 5-star rating. Perhaps you'll feel inclined to leave a review of your own when you find one that's worth the hype.
This SKIMS lounge dress comes in so many new colors.
You always need a go-to tee, and this lilac one will add some pretty color to any outfit.
These bootcut jeans are ideal for showing off a gorgeous pair of heels.
A little black bathing suit always goes on my list when summer rolls around. The subtle shirring and adjustable straps on this one will feel extra comfortable.
Can you say wedding season? Dazzle everyone (without overshadowing the bride, of course) in this stunning, pink midi from House of CB.
A sporty running jacket is one you can wear while hitting the pavement or just out and about when the weather calls for a light layer.
Wear this skirt over your bikini to the beach or on a night out—or both! It's truly so versatile.
An easy breezy halter dress is such a great summer buy, especially in this eye-catching shade of red.
Bermudas are back! This pair is top-rated thanks to its lightweight fabric and the comfy elastic waist.
If highlighter yellow is calling your name, this body-con maxi is for you.
Skarlett Blue's balconette bras are popular for a reason. This style is so pretty, you'll probably want to wear a sheer shirt just to show it off.
How sweet is this light-blue cropped cardi?
A swingy, floral skirt with a pair of white sneakers is a classic summer look that does not miss.
I'm such a fan of skorts. No wardrobe malfunctions here!

I don't know if I've seen a button-down look *this* crisp.
Barbie's ultimate summer dress is this pink, linen one from Madewell.
Grab a pair of these relaxed cargo pants to add into your wardrobe rotation.

On sneakers are everywhere. This pair just hit the new section, and people are loving them.
A thick T-shirt with some heft to it is my version of a weighted blanket.
I'm such a sucker for nautical, navy-and-white stripes. With a twist and a small slit at the hem, this will be a warm-weather staple.
Yes, it's a splurge, but the 5-star rating makes it worth it.

Perfect for styling those sometimes tricky double piercings.
