The Nordstrom 6 June Drop Has All 3 Things Every Capsule Wardrobe Needs
Since I founded the Nordstrom 6 six years ago, the Nordstrom 6 June Drop is one of the strongest Nordstrom Drops we have done. Six pieces curated by professional stylists over 45, no filler, every piece chosen because it works as part of a real wardrobe. This month’s Nordstrom 6 Drop includes the Paige Anessa wide-leg jeans we made viral, an embroidered print blouse, a Rails striped dress that doubles as a skirt, a white maxi skirt, the Marc Jacobs Tote Bag, and Vince sandals. Together, they build one of my Trademark Capsule Wardrobes™ with 100+ summer outfits.
WATCH THE NORDSTROM 6 JUNE DROP LIVE RECAP
This month’s Coffee in My Closet LIVE covered the full Nordstrom 6 June Drop. Highlights included the Vince jelly sandals, jelly sandals for grownups, four pieces that are also on my European Carry-On Capsule checklist, and the Marc Jacobs Tote Bag that was in our very first Nordstrom 6 Drop six years ago and keeps making the list.
THE 3 THINGS EVERY CAPSULE WARDROBE NEEDS THE NORDSTROM 6 JUNE DROP HAS ALL OF THEM
After 26 years as a capsule wardrobe stylist, I’ve found that every capsule wardrobe that actually works has three things in common. A color story. Pieces that mix and match no matter what you grab. And outfit multipliers. I wrote about all three in depth HERE. This Nordstrom 6 Drop checks every box.
The print blouse is your color story. Every other piece in this drop connects back to it. The red cardigan, the green dress, the white skirt, the light-wash jeans. Pull any combination
Every piece in this Nordstrom 6 Drop works with every other piece. No orphans. No one outfit wonders. That is not styling luck. That is a style strategy I’ve perfected over 26 years.
The Rails striped dress is an outfit multiplier. Wear it as a dress or layer the blouse, cardigan, or vest over it and it becomes a skirt. One piece, multiple outfits. Add the cardigan worn four ways; as a top, a layer, over the shoulder, or tied at the waist. That is how six pieces from this Nordstrom 6 Drop, plus five extras I added, become 100+ summer outfits.
THE PAIGE ANESSA THE JEAN THAT MADE ME REPACK FOR ITALY
I’d been packed for Italy and this Paige jean from this Nordstrom 6 Drop made me unpack.
Paige flatters every body type and shape. One brand obsesses over pocket placement more than any other. Higher, closer together, scaled to your size. Combine that with their Transcend fabric, the fabric that doesn’t stretch even after 100 stairs, 7 miles, and scorching heat, and you get the only jeans I travel with. These aren’t the $250 sweatpant jeans other influencers are recommending. These are real jeans with real pockets that just feel like pajamas.
After 20 years in a Nordstrom fitting room I’ve seen every jean brand up close. This is why we keep choosing Paige for the Nordstrom 6 Drop.
THE MARC JACOBS TOTE BAG AN OG N6 PICK
The Marc Jacobs Tote Bag was in our very first Nordstrom 6 Drop six years ago. It has appeared in my Carry-On Capsule and my European Travel Capsule. This designer bag is under $500.
I recommended the stripe colorway this month because stripes are my favorite neutral print for summer. They look fresh and work with any style aesthetic. A superstar in a sea of solids or best supporting actress to another bold print.
VINCE SANDALS | JELLY SANDALS FOR GROWNUPS
Vince makes clothes we already trust. The sandals are no different. Modern, timeless, and exactly the style we look for when we add a shoe to the Nordstrom 6 Drop. A grown up take on a summer staple that works with every piece in this capsule.
A NEW TRADEMARK CAPSULE WARDROBE™ INSPIRED BY THE NORDSTROM 6
The six Nordstrom 6 Drop pieces are the foundation. I added a cardigan, button up, jacket, vest, and striped pants to build the full Trademark Capsule Wardrobe™. The result is 100+ summer outfits.
Six years. Six stylists. Six pieces every month. No filler.
I started the Nordstrom 6 in 2020 because fitting rooms closed and women needed help. Six years later we are still picking six pieces you need now, month after month. This Nordstrom 6 June Drop is one of the best we have done. One piece made it to Italy with me. The rest made it into my summer wardrobe the minute I got home.
