I overheard a colleague jokingly refer to Zara and Nordstrom as Zordy, in regards to the duo’s popularity among fashion people, and it immediately dawned on me that I have a Zordy closet. It’s no surprise, really, as the two retailers are my first stops when shopping, thanks to their impeccable curation of classic and trendy pieces every season. I know I am not alone in this—the shopping-related texts in my group chat with other fashion friends is proof.
