We Asked, You Answered: The 40 Best-Selling Nordstrom Items of This Year
For the last few weeks, I've been on a mission to find the best-selling Nordstrom items of 2024. At Who What Wear, we write about Nordstrom nearly every day, so naturally, I was curious to see what products you, dear reader, loved, bought, and shared the most this year.
To answer that burning question, I turned to our resident data gurus, who, frankly, are much better at crunching numbers than I am—to dig through the stats and find out which products actually sold out this year. Thanks to their tireless efforts, I’ve compiled a list of the top 40 Nordstrom best-sellers of 2024, with heavy hitters from brands like Topshop, Madewell, Levi’s, and Adidas. Chances are, you’ve had your eye on a few of these but never quite pulled the trigger. Hey, the numbers don’t lie. If I couldn’t convince you, maybe the fact that our readers have wholeheartedly backed these products will do the trick.
Let’s face it: We’re all just trying to figure out what’s truly worth our hard-earned cash and what deserves precious space in our closets. So, are you ready to see what’s actually worth it this year? Keep scrolling to discover the best-selling Nordstrom items of 2024, all vetted by you.
Tops
There's nothing more classic than a white T-shirt. Over 230 people bought this timeless staple this year.
Reformation's boatneck tank came in as a strong third for the best-selling Nordstrom top of the year.
These cashmere sweaters were our bread and butter for the fall and winter of 2024. Plus, they're on sale now for less than $100. No wonder they sold out multiple times over!
This silky, slinky shirt was on the list, too. Just wear it with black jeans for a polished yet casual look.
Nordstrom's in-house cashmere knit didn't do too bad either, with more than 100 of you adding this to your carts this year.
Jackets
Clearly, this blazer is the gift that keeps on giving. More than 175 people ordered this timeless staple this year, with the black colorway being the go-to choice for many of you.
French-girl staples stole our hearts this year, with several trench coats making the top 50 best-selling Nordstrom products of the year, according to our books. This affordable Petal & Pup trench was a clear winner.
If you're looking for a cropped trench, perhaps the third-place jacket of the year is more up your alley.
While there were several blazers in our top 10, this thick boyfriend blazer was a fan favorite thanks to its interesting texture.
I gasped when I first saw this jacket this year, and yep, it's still just as good as I remember.
Can you tell our editors—and clearly, our audience—have a thing for blazers?
Even though I'm trying hard not to play favorites, this affordable It-girl bomber jacket from Topshop might be my favorite item on this list.
Bottoms
For that iconic Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy look, this chic pencil skirt does the trick. In fact, 200 of you ordered this in 2024.
This affordable, classic pair of jeans took home the grand prize of the best-selling Nordstrom jeans in 2024. It's easy to see why, given their ultra-low price point, I'm not shocked they landed in so many carts this year.
These luxe-looking linen pants were a hot commodity in the summertime for back-to-work office outfits.
In case you couldn't tell, Levi's was our top denim brand sold at Nordstrom in 2024. Yep, they're that good!
Open Edit's wide-leg pants were also a go-to silhouette this year. (I have three pairs myself!)
If bootleg jeans are on your 2025 mood board, may I present the best-selling pair from this year?
Another list, another pair of Levi's our shoppers just can't resist.
Accessories
This cashmere scarf was the most bought accessory in 2024— it's so chic, versatile, and easy to throw on any outfit. What's not to love?
Another Madewell belt that captured our attention (and yours!) in 2024.
This witty hat from Favorite Daughter easily landed in the best-selling accessories list.
Shoes
These Adidas sneakers were, by far, the best-selling Nordstrom shoes of 2024, with nearly 170 of you (and Bella Hadid!) buying and wearing these this year.
Nordstrom's Carolina slide sandals solidly took the number two spot this year.
Our editors love Sam Edelman's slingback pumps given how versatile and chic they are— wear them with jeans, your favorite mini skirt, or a slinky little black dress.
Although Samba-mania was 2023, this year, sleek Gazelles in different colors took the cake for some of the most fun trainers of 2024.
This wouldn't be a Nordstrom best-selling shoes list without mentioning the viral Rhinestone flats!
