Nordstrom is consistently a go-to for a range of fashion finds. In fact, we routinely cover the retailer's vast assortment of basics and trendier picks. Well, Nordstrom is also a fantastic resource for quality activewear. In fact, its in-house label Zella is a favorite for many, including our own editors. Whether you're looking for new leggings, workout jackets, or versatile tops, Zella is bound to have something to suit those needs.
With that in mind, we thought we'd curate Zella picks for you below for a bit of shopping inspiration. Specifically, we focused on those items that are top-rated, in that they have over four stars and positive customer reviews. Keep scrolling to check out the pieces. You'll also find an actual customer testimonial for each. Oh, if you go a bit further, there are also a few sneaker options that would pair nicely with the Zella items.
"Love the Renew fabric, this is my 3rd pair. The fit is amazing. Going to be a staple in my workout wardrobe!"
"Very comfortable and love the material. I also like how high it comes up in the neck (it isn't revealing). Can't wait to work out in it or wear it while running errands."
"Great pants! Warm for cooler weather, but they do not look like sweats, so they can be worn anywhere. Dress them up or wear them with sneakers. Very versatile. They fit perfectly."
"I love everything about this dress! The length, how it falls, the material! The fact I can wear a sports bra with it. I can play tennis in it or wear it to dinner. I'm obsessed!"
"Perfect T-shirt. Not the tight in the middle kind. Fits like the photo! Super cool too if you like clothes that don't stick to you when you sweat. Have it in all the colors!!"
"My first skirt ever, and I was very pleased. This item is super comfortable and holds everything in all the right places. This item is perfect for tennis or just to wear out for the day."
"I ordered this top for Pilates, and I really like it. Cute style, fits nicely, and does up well in the wash. True to size."
"This top is very flattering and will look great under a jacket or with an undershirt, as it is sheer. This can easily be a date night or a workday top."
"These are super comfortable, and the waist is high up so no rolling down during workouts."
"Love this bag for running errands, a quick gym visit, or a weekend hike! Perfect size, fits my 32 oz water bottle and essentials. The outside zipper pocket is great for phones and keys."
"An exercise pant that gives you comfort. You can also wear casually. Very good investment."
"Love such quality and flattering fit."
"These are the best no-show socks I've tried. Thin and comfy and perfect with my Converse Shorelines."
"Perfect for rain on a warm day."
"I bought these shorts, and it was the best decision ever. True to size. The quality of the material is amazing. Please bring more colors."
"Perfect transitional piece, love it—a classic, true to size."
"These are the best joggers. They're comfy, but the material holds a shape, so they look better than sweats. Super cute with trendy sneakers and a top."
"These are great shorts to wear around the house or with a cute top out. They are lightweight and not too high-waisted. The pockets are cut in a way that does not add bulk to the hips."
"You just get it home and prance around the house! Doesn't matter what you do, this skirt is a winner. It's everything! I wish they had more colors like blue and tan. Goes with everything and for any occasion! I just adore it."
"Very striking. My only wish is that it would be available in a V-neck."
