I’m one of those shoppers who like to dive into the reviews before adding something to my cart. Sure, I’ll always make my own assessment on something based on personal style, but if others note poor quality and the like, I’ll often give said piece a second thought. On that note, I recently spent an afternoon scrolling through the pages of new arrivals on Nordstrom while researching for a story, and per usual, I read a bunch of reviews for the products I was interested in.
In the end, there were a good 26 summer items I noted as winners (with four stars and above) that I added to my cart. No, I wasn’t necessarily purchasing all of the pieces in question, but I added them to create a list of cool items to suggest to my inner circle if and when they ask for fresh recommendations to add to their wardrobes.
Keep scrolling to check out the chic items that made the cut. I also included one of the reviews for each to potentially inspire you if you’re shopping at the moment.
"This dress is exactly like it is pictured - long, flowy, lots of fabric. The fabric is also very soft, making the dress SO comfortable. It is kind of like a mumu but the sleeve detail and buttons down the front add some style. It’s great if you’re looking for a nice, comfortable spring/summer dress." — cfoster22
"Love this top! It looks great with shorts, jeans and skirts. I love the structure of the top. I honestly want to get the top in both colors because it is so versatile." — Biancatheshopper
