Though it's now a part of my job, I was aggressively checking the new arrivals at all my favorite retailers long before I was a fashion editor. Since I could shop, I've been enthralled by the rows and rows of never-before-seen items that arrive in droves every season at stores like Zara, H&M, and Nordstrom. That fascination came in handy this morning when I set off to round up the best summer pieces that dropped this week at all three retailers above.
Given that I've practically trained my entire life for this type of task, you can rest easy knowing the list of 40 just-debuted pieces from H&M, Zara, and Nordstrom that I meticulously curated below includes only items worth saying "yes" to. But don't take my word for it. Keep scrolling, and you'll soon see proof.
