I Spent Hours Combing Through Nordstrom—These 37 Summer Finds Stole My Heart
There are two things New Yorkers can expect to see year after year for the summer season: The first is an eye-watering electric bill thanks to increased use of air conditioning. The second is shorts and crop tops, which we often haven't worn for months.
Every summer, I go through piles of clothes that haven't seen daylight in half a year and question what I was thinking when buying them. My style changes with my mood, so naturally, now that warm weather has boosted my serotonin and put a pep in my step, I'm changing up my summer clothing catalogs to reflect this year's sartorial tastes. My first stop? Nordstrom. Long before I started working at Who What Wear, I'd browse the retailer every month to stock up on a few timeless basics, which I rotated in my closet. Now, as a shopping editor, Nordstrom has basically become an extension of my personality.
After a four-hour deep dive through the retailer's fun summer offerings, I'm divulging all the finds I can't stop thinking about. Below, find 37 of the best summer tops, swimsuits, accessories, shoes, and more available now at Nordstrom. No gatekeeping here!
Farm Rio's summer dresses are some of the best on the market.
This flowy white dress is perfect for any summer soirée.
This COS dress has lived in my head rent-free since I saw it in-store last week.
Paloma Wool's gauzy knits are such a staple among the fashion crowd that I wouldn't be surprised if this top goes viral this summer.
Summer is the perfect time to experiment with fun statement jewelry, and this flowery chain from Éliou let's you do just that.
Simone Rocha's micro pearl bag is at the top of my luxury wish list. The subtle sheen makes it perfect as a statement accessory for Sunday brunches.
Although Zimmermann is mainly known for its cult-favorite summer dresses, the brand's adorable swimsuit line is nothing to laugh at.
I'm expecting these yellow jeans to blow up on TikTok.
Sophie Richie Grainge has a knit dress, so I had to buy one too.
A breezy and oversize linen shirt goes with everything.
