7 Brands at Nordstrom That Somehow Always Have 5-Star Reviews

Our readers have made it clear that they love shopping at Nordstrom, so I'm always trying to think of new ways to curate the retailer's selection from a fashion editor's point of view. Today, I'm writing about brands that somehow always have five-star reviews on Nordstrom's website.
So what brands made the list? There's a healthy mix of high (Gucci) and low (Ugg), with everything in between. For starters, there's a brand that has cornered the market when it comes to activewear, a label that's known for its cozy robes and cardigans, and a company that can't ever seem to produce enough T-shirts. Scroll down to shop the seven brands that Nordstrom customers love and see what I'd buy from each.
Zella
Gucci

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern in 2011—back when the site only published a single story per day. (We have since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
