I Scoured All 99 Pages of Nordstrom's Plus-Size Section—55 Finds That Stood Out
A typical day in my life as a fashion editor looks something like this: Wake up at 6 a.m., work out at 7 a.m., eat breakfast at 8 a.m., and then from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. scour Nordstrom from top to bottom looking for standout fashion items that I can then share with all of you. Okay, fine, so I do more than just look through Nordstrom.com, but I'm not lying when I say that a significant part of my job consists of dissecting the store's downright massive offering. My best finds for this week, you ask? 55 seriously impressive items from the plus-size section.
From my research, I discovered that basically every trend that's buzzy right now has a place in Nordstrom's 99-page plus-size section, with brands like Afrm, Zelie for She, Open Edit, Skims, Reformation, Ganni, and more offering up leather blazers, sweater dresses, big collars, and miniskirts in sizes 14 and up. And that's not all. From outerwear to knitwear and everything in-between, I scrolled through every last page of Nordstrom's plus-size department and rounded up the very best of its contents below.
Coats and Jackets
Dresses
From the color to the piping details, this dress is downright incredible.
You heard it here first: 2022 is the year of the sheer dress.
This mini is begging to be worn on a Saturday night.
Jeans and Trousers
I've been seeing utility pants like these all over Instagram.
Windbreaker pants are one of 2022's most prevalent micro-trends.
Shorts and Skirts
Tops and Sweaters
Reformation knew what they were doing with this knit.
