By working in the fashion industry, I get an insider’s view of what people are interested in before trends take hold. And right now, my style editor friends and I are all reaching for beach-inspired pieces, like fish-inspired earrings, jelly flats and mesh tote bags.
While such standout pieces are often unearthed by consolidating dozens of stores, Nordstrom consistently offers a selection of outstanding finds, making it a go-to destination for fashion insiders. Naturally, I’m rounding up 15 summer picks that fashion editors are wearing right now, including picks from Free People, Madewell, Farm Rio and more.
15 Fashion Editor-Approved Summer Finds
1. What we like: I have been eyeing these Vince jelly mules for a long time. The nostalgic cage design takes you right back to the ’90s, while the deep blue hue is incredibly versatile.
2. Catch of the Day: Embrace your inner mermaid with these precious fish statement earrings from Baublebar. Liquid scales catch light and move with each step.
3. Tropical Chic: This Farm Rio cotton plunge dress is made for sunny days. A woven floral print and scalloped cut add a vintage charm, while a contrasting self-tie ribbon at the bust adds definition.
4. Cool-Girl Essential: You’ve seen these tortoise sunglasses all over town, and now it’s time to add them to your collection. Reality Eyewear perfectly captures a slim, round shape, delivering a timeless frame that you’ll reach for every time you repeat it.
5. Basic Clothes: Sometimes, less is more, and this white tank by Madewell will fix it. The cotton-linen blend upper feels fresh against the skin, and is finished with a soft ruffle hem.
6. New Silhouette: Add volume with these Free People leg shorts that feel fresh with minimal stress and a relaxed fit. Balloon-like pants also have a low-slung waist and utility-style pockets.

8. Playful But Polished: Steve Madden combines three head-turning trends into one summer design, offering a jelly kitten heel with a thong strap. Dress it up or down – the choice is yours.
