Every Summer Item You Should Consider Buying at Nordstrom, Revolve, and J.Crew Currently
Living in NYC, a significant part of the year is dedicated to layering and bundling up against the cold. However, when summer arrives, I prefer to wear simple, comfortable pieces that are suitable for the heat. With summer finally here, I decided to check out three popular retailers to identify which items are worth purchasing: Nordstrom, Revolve, and J.Crew.
At Nordstrom, my first stop is always SPACE, the boutique-style section featuring emerging designers. I noticed several items from Paloma Wool that I really liked: the Suni Drawstring Organic Cotton Knit Midi Dress, the Patinela Sheer Organic Cotton Blend Cardigan, and the Dimi Organic Cotton Blend A-Line Skirt. I was thrilled to find that the New York brand Coming of Age is now available on the site, including its Gingham Tote. For footwear, if you're in search of an extremely comfortable ballet flat, I suggest Camper's Casi Myra Ballerina Flat. If you’re a fan of the jelly shoe trend, there are options from brands like Tory Burch and Ancient Greek Sandals.
On Revolve, I have a few favorite brands I regularly check out, such as Enza Costa, Geel, Miaou, Rue Sophie, St. Agni, and With Jean. My wish list currently features dresses, knee-length skirts, and a classic Hunga G bikini.
At J.Crew, I began my search in the summer section called The Vacation Shop. This selection includes items like the under-$100 1998 Small Montauk Tote, a sheer lace dress, cotton voile sundresses, a scallop-trim crochet mini dress, drawstring cotton poplin shorts, and swimwear. Keep reading to shop for all of these plus additional summer items for 2026.
