39 Chic Nordstrom, H&M, and Zara Items Fashion People Would Buy

Because of my job, I spend a lot of time with the exceptionally well dressed, whether at runway shows, new-season previews, or brand dinners. While it’d probably be more polite of me to just mind my own business, rarely is that the case. I’m an observant person by nature—I can’t help that—so yes, I pay close attention to what types of items said skillful stylists outfit themselves in on a regular basis. As such, I have a pretty good idea of what the fashion crowd’s chicest members will and will not like.

Rather than gatekeep all of the style information I have etched forever in my brain, I figured I’d spend my afternoon sharing my well-researched insights with anyone who’s interested in the sorts of pieces fashion people gravitate toward. In this case, they’re from Nordstrom, Zara, and H&M specifically. There are elegant flats and heels, low-key luxury handbags, and elevated basics as well as statement silhouettes and edgy outerwear. Leather, cashmere, sequins, and satin will all make an appearance. Basically, everything that would be alluring to a style-minded consumer from Nordstrom, H&M, and Zara can be found below. Go forth and do with it all as you please.
