I Tried 28 Items atReplica Store, and These Chic Finds Shocked Me to My Very Core
Despite working at Nordstrom throughout college and constantly checking the retailer's new arrivals section online now, I don't physically visit the store as much as I used to. I'm a full-fledged online shopper. I love to scroll through TikTok for product recommendations and read through online reviews like it's my job. As editors, we can call in pieces to test drive (as seen in our Great Try On series), but I decided it was overdue for some good old in-person shopping. After a few hours of trying things on and a brief trip to theReplica Store café, I found plenty of chic pieces I wanted for my summer 2023 wardrobe.
Surprisingly, there were even items I probably wouldn't give a second look at online but wanted to purchase immediately after trying them on. And while many qualify as basics, every item below is a stellar pick. It's overwhelming to navigate Nordstrom's massive offering, so I hope my try-on can give you insight into what the worthy contenders are to buy right now.
Topshop's trousers have always looked good online, so I was particularly interested in seeing how they held up in person. They reminded me of Reformation's Mason pants, except more structured. The asymmetric detailing also makes them cooler than any other pair of trousers.
I thought I already owned the perfect blazer, but then I met this one atReplica Store. Many blazers can be too thick, but this one is sturdy yet lightweight enough for the summer. I usually wear a size small, but I sized up on this one for that relaxed and slouchy fit.

Have you ever seen a clothing item and instantly felt it would be something you reached for constantly? That's how I felt when I saw this shirt. I fell even more in love with it after trying it on. My most-worn item during the summer has to be oversize button-downs, and this Topshop number impressed me as soon as I put it on. It's that perfect medium blue that's extremely versatile.
As for the pants, this was my first time trying out a pair from Madewell, and I must say I am impressed. The pleating detail elevates it, but the material is more casual and closer to linen. They're very much true-to-size and have that relaxed wide-leg silhouette that's very on-trend right now.
Similar Picks:
I've never been one for cropped tops, but it's annoying to tuck oversize T-shirts into skirts and pants when temperatures start to rise. This tee is soft, and with the right nude bra, it's not see-through at all.
Breezy white skirts were made for summer, and this one has me ready to pack a trip to the Hamptons immediately. It's lightweight but not sheer. I sized up to a medium because I wanted it to be more of a low-rise skirt, but I'd suggest sticking to your true size if you'd rather it sit higher on your waist.

I loved the firstReplica Store blazer I tried on, but my fellow editors are always raving about Open Edit's selection, so I knew I had to give one a try. Everything about this blazer feels professional. It's sturdy yet soft. Since I spend most of my days sitting at my desk in the office, having a comfortable work blazer is a must.
Despite being on the shorter end, I surprisingly liked this maxi pencil skirt. I usually opt for loose and flowy pieces, but this form-fitting skirt felt sleek and classy. However, I am 5'3" and was wearing heels, so if you're petite and don't like heels, this skirt might not be the best for you. Or, consider taking it be tailored at manyReplica Store locations!
Similar Picks:
Remember when you would ask your friends what they were wearing, and they would reply, "jeans and a cute top"? This is what I imagine when I hear cute top. Linen-blend always doesn't feel soft, but this one feels just right.
Another WWW editor favorite? Topshop's skirts. Out of everything I tried on, I think I was most excited to try this skirt. It hits the floor just right and has an elastic waist that makes it easy to put on and wear.
Similar Picks:
Can you believe I've never owned a pair of white jeans? After pinning a lot of Sofia Richie outfits to my Pinterest board, I've been itching to add one to my closet. I've also never tried Good American, so lots of milestones were reached in thisReplica Store trip. I thought I wouldn't be a fan of the more cropped length, but considering how dirty NYC streets are, I should keep my white jeans right at the ankle.
Similar Picks:
Don't be fooled by the price, but this cuff actually looks luxe in person. It's heavy but also has a stretch in between two sides of the cuff, so it's easy to slide on and off!
