These Are the Anti-Trend Nordstrom Items Fashion Editors Love
Elevated picks.


As a fashion editor, trend-spotting is a key component of my job. And I love sourcing the latest in fashion and sharing the said looks with you, dear readers. That said, I also love the more low-key items and often wear these elevated basics in my everyday life. One store where I always find a smattering of these "anti-trend" items? Nordstrom. Although, the retailer always hits it with trendy picks as well.
Below you'll uncover my edit of the simple yet chic items I'm vibing with. I'm talking about everything from elevated denim selects to polished shirting silhouettes to throw-on-and-go dresses. Keep scrolling for more. You may end up finding a new go-to essential included in the mix.
A shorts set to live in.
Shop the matching Cover-Up Button-Up Shirt ($135).
Ballet flats are trending right now, but they're also a classic choice.
Maxi skirts are very right now, but this neutral pick also feels low-key and easy to style with a simple top.
This statement-making dress is low-key enough that you can throw it on and go.
