When I’m shopping some of my go-to stores either for my personal wardrobe or as I’m doing market research for various stories, I typically hit up the new arrivals and sale sections first. In addition, many retailers like Nordstrom and H&M also have "trend” sections. These curations are special because they focus specifically on those more trend-forward items that feel particularly relevant for the season.
To showcase some of the top-notch finds, I scrolled through the trend sections at Nordstrom (called "Topshop & Trend") and H&M (the "Trend Edit") and pulled out the pieces that could be worth it if you’re shopping at the moment. Here, I’m talking about items like modern blazers, versatile tees, cute dresses, adorable shoe silhouettes, and chic layering pieces. With all that in mind, keep scrolling for more.
