I'm Shouting About These 30 Anti-Trend Items I Found in the Nordstrom Sale
In case you haven't heard, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is well underway, and we have plenty of insider intel on the best discounts to take advantage of, from top-rated denim deals to shocking designer discounts. Since the sale spans many categories, I don't recommend diving in headfirst without a road map unless you want to waste several hours scrolling through hundreds of product pages.
Instead, shop my fashion editor-vetted guide to the best on-sale fashion items to save time and effort. Classic, refined, and elevated style seems to be a growing theme as we head through the summer, thanks to influences like the quiet-luxury aesthetic and Sofia Richie's wedding wardrobe. If you're also after the simplicity of the anti-trend aesthetic, you'll find this Nordstrom edit to be everything you're looking for. I spent the morning combing through the sale, and the trove of cool anti-trend items I found is so good I'm not just quietly telling everyone about them—I'm positively shouting.
With endless ways to style it, a striped shirt isn't just a good basic—it's a wardrobe nonnegotiable.
Reviewers love them. Fashion editors adore them. Find out why.
