When it comes to my wardrobe choices, my tight-knit circle of fashion friends is the first to hear. Like all 20-somethings, we have a chaotic group chat used for weekly happy-hour planning, venting about dating, and naturally, thoughts on impulse shopping. This week's topic of discussion was fall wardrobe selects from Nordstrom.
I always joke that being Gen Z is my style North Star when it comes to choosing my clothing, but it couldn't be any truer. Now that the temperatures are cooling and I've already turned over my entire wardrobe, my friends are my go-to sources of inspiration to talk me into or out of purchases. If you can't trust your besties to talk you out of buying a questionable outfit, what can you trust them with?
Naturally, Nordstrom's fall arrivals and new offerings were more than cool enough to satisfy my shopping craving and the taste of my friends. Below, shop all of the items that got glowing reviews and heart reactions from my picky editor friends. Trust me—you'll thank me later.
Unlike the maximalist Tommy bag, Staud's Moon bag is a fan favorite among Gen Z, who prefer a more minimalist, chic silhouette for their everyday looks.
Gen Z, myself included, have been leaning into the cropped-capri-pants look for our fall outfits and beyond.
Coach's can't-miss Brooklyn shoulder bag has been going viral on social media as of late, which means nearly everyone I know 25 and under is yearning for it.
This wouldn't be a proper Gen Z list without these beloved, affordable leopard-print pants.
The loafers worn by many a superstar and niche internet celebrity.
Celine's iconic Triomphe glasses are still the number one luxury choice for stylish teenagers and young adults online.
Cozy up for the cold weather with this adorable Ganni sweater-vest.
Another can't-miss Ganni favorite: the brand's classic, moto-detailed slingback ballet flats that everyone in Copenhagen is a huge fan of.
Yes, your suspicions are confirmed: Gen Z is still into the barrel-leg jean trend.
For everyday, wearable jewelry, our younger audience loves Jenny Bird, a female-founded, Canadian label that comes at an intro-level price point for contemporary jewelry.
Reformation's cashmere cardigans and knits are best sellers each season.
Spotted: the Sandy Liang scrunchie that nearly every cool attendee was wearing at the brand's S/S 25 show.

Another day in the life of a Gen Z editor, another new Sandy Liang piece to obsess over.

Okay… My Sandy Liang obsession is getting out of hand, as you can tell by now.
