Every fall, I get giddy at the thought of pulling out my jeans from storage and embracing my favorite worn-in pairs. Although the New York heat makes me lock my beloved denim away for months, I dust off my tried-and-true silhouettes every September to wear them for the rest of the year. Recently, I was shocked to find out how many of the pairs I had no longer worked with my closet, from ultra-trendy jeans to those I’d practically worn into the ground. My denim drawer was in need of a serious makeover. Like most closet dilemmas, that’s where Nordstrom came in.
After digging deep into the brand’s top-rated denim section, I found six can’t-miss denim styles you’d be silly to miss out on ahead of the fall. From French-girl classics to the ultimate pair of dark-wash denim, these six styles are chic, comfortable, and shockingly still in stock. Run, don’t walk, to buy these up before they sell out by October 1.
