Without a doubt, shopping for all your groceries—not just a smoothie or a combo plate—at Erewhon is peak luxury. The grocer is known for its extravagant prices, selling single strawberries for an astonishing $14 and water for $25. While many of us may not have the budget for such indulgences, we can certainly fake it by dressing in elegant outfits that give off an air of sophistication and wealth. This summer, I’m focused on achieving that polished look by enhancing my wardrobe with upscale warm-weather pieces from Zara, Nordstrom, and Mango.
These three retailers are my go-to destination each season, and for summer, they’ve truly outdone themselves. For example, Zara’s collection of skirts, blouses, and shorts seamlessly blends modern styles with timeless designs, ensuring you’ll look and feel like a true fashion insider. At Nordstrom, you’ll discover lightweight elevated basics that are perfect for everyday wear—think linen drawstring pants, capri leggings, elevated flip-flops, and classic crew-neck tees; these are the types of pieces you won’t tire of easily. Meanwhile, Revolve offers trendy finds, such as drop-waisted dresses, jelly sandals, and lace-trimmed tops, that will keep your summer wardrobe fresh.
So, whether you’re aiming to channel the vibe of a wealthy Erewhon shopper, an elite guest at a luxurious European resort, or a stylish Hamptons mom, keep reading to discover the 45 most elegant summer clothing and accessories from Zara, Nordstrom, and Revolve.
