Your Editor-Approved Guide to the 14 Best Brands to Always Buy From Nordstrom
Okay, I just need to start by saying that this story was nearly impossible to get done, but it was not because I didn't know what to write or include. While refamiliarizing myself with all my favorite Nordstrom brands as well as my order history, I realized that there are too many that I wanted to include, and I literally could not fit them all! When I tell you that narrowing the list down to 14 nearly took me out, I mean it...
Nonetheless, in the name of journalism, I got it done. Below, you'll find 14 of my go-to brands I always filter to when shopping on Nordstrom.com. From Mango, & Other Stories, and Open Edit to Reformation and Staud to the Pradas and Miu Mius of the world, it's truly a mélange because that's what the retailer does best! Nordstrom mixes high, low, and in between, all while making it incredibly easy to shop, check out, and even return if you must. Simply keep scrolling to read a little bit about each label that made the cut and shop my fall picks along the way.
WAYF
Think affordable, elevated basics mixed with trendy (but not too trendy) pieces.
Reformation
What's better than buying all your favorite brands in one place?
& Other Stories
I love this brand's knits, jackets, accessories… and basically everything else it makes.
Miu Miu
You know the latest Miu Miu accessories everyone's always scrambling for? They're usually hiding at Nordstrom.
Paloma Wool
This Barcelona-based brand is a true hidden gem that's probably one of the coolest out there right now.
Nordstrom
At the risk of sounding obvious, I can't forget about the actual Nordstrom brand, which is rife with sophisticated basics and accessories at accessible prices.
Staud
Staud girls, unite! It's time to stock up on fall's coolest sweaters, coats, boots, and bags.
Madewell
Our readers love to buy Madewell from Nordstrom, and when you see its new arrivals, it's pretty obvious why.
Open Edit
Coming in hot with a newer Nordstrom brand, I have the slightly trendier and more affordable Open Edit.
Toteme
I know what you're thinking. Nordstrom carries Toteme? Yes—not only does the retailer carry it, but at nearly 300 pieces, its offering is also robust.
Mango
Often overlooked, Mango has a slew of trendy items and basics each season that rival their fast-fashion and designer counterparts.
Sandy Liang
If fun and fresh is your thing, Sandy Liang is your brand.
Loulou de Saison
One of my favorite brands on the rise, Loulou de Saison is my go-to for upgraded essentials like jackets, sweaters, and dresses.
Prada
I'm closing it out with a little selection of Prada It shoes because, yes, Nordstrom carries those too.

Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
