I, like many, tend to read product reviews before I actually purchase something. Sure, I first ensure an item fits my personal style and will work well in my wardrobe, but if other shoppers have less than positive things to say about a piece, there’s a strong chance I’ll skip it. I also practice this same method when I’m recommending products to my inner circle. I recently scrolled through one of my go-to stores, Nordstrom, to uncover some fresh staples to suggest to a few friends. I ended up pulling out those particularly noteworthy pieces that were not only chic and versatile from my perspective but also had strong reviews with four stars and above.
Naturally, I wanted to share these supreme staples with you in case you’re interested in adding a few into your weekly rotation. Keep scrolling for a breakdown of top-rated pieces worth considering from Nordstrom, complete with actual customer testimonials.
