I Studied Hundreds of Pages on Nordstrom, H&M, and Macy’s—These Picks Stood Out

If you’re looking to put the final touches on your summer wardrobe but are hitting dead-ends, you’ve come to the right place. Out of all the seasons, I find summer shopping the hardest. After checking multiple sites and scrolling through hundreds of pages, even I, a fashion editor, have thought about giving up. But since it is my job to bring you the best finds, I kept going. And after hours of browsing, I was able to find some incredible items at H&M, Nordstrom, and Macy’s. I do this fairly often, but I am always shocked at how many good items I can find among the many pages. Not only is the offering on-trend, but everything below also comes at a pretty price point.

While my search started off difficult, I actually found it even harder to cap my list at 35. Once you hit the jackpot, you don’t want to stop. If you’re in the mood to shop and want to see the picks that stood out to me the most, just keep scrolling.

The dress you’ll be living in this summer.

These will sell out fast.

I’ll always be on board with a ’90s-inspired piece.

I’ve been seeing these pajama-like shorts everywhere.

After reading through fellow editor Indya’s H&M story, I immediately added this to my cart.

Pack this for your next vacation.

If Y2K is your thing.

The use of terry and color in this is so fun. There’s also a neutral option if that’s more your cup of tea.

I’m really into the flowy shape of this blouse.

I want to lounge in this set immediately.

Bring on all the saturated shades.

An easy and fun summer tote.

I want everything in this color.

Tube-top season is upon us.

This tank is a best seller, and the deep circular neckline makes it stand out from other tanks.

I only own a black plissé set, but I think it’s time to change things up.

Wear this with your favorite simple top and heels. 

Just think about how much wear this will get.

I know these aren’t anything new, but I’m thinking about re-adding them to my wardrobe for the summer. My old, beat-up pair got so much love, so I know this one will too.

I love this length for shorts.

Birkenstocks are the current It shoes.

The most comfortable T-shirt I own has just been restocked.

While this dress is simple in design, I think it looks unbelievably chic. All it needs is strappy sandals and a woven bag to pair with.

The draping on this top is ridiculously good.

This truly does look expensive.

I’m really into vests right now.

This color will add a cool pop to any beach ‘fit.

This duo-printed poplin shirt just speaks to me.

Every time I see this bag on TikTok, I almost convince myself to purchase it. I think it’s time.

If you haven’t given into the micro-mini trend yet, this is your chance.

Linen is all I wear in the summer.

A frolicking kind of dress.

The cutouts are subtle but still make enough of a statement.

Classic.

You either love Bermuda shorts, or you hate them. I love them.
