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.
