When a Fashion Person Says Chic, They're Referring to Nordstrom Items Like These
I’m a fashion girl through and through, and while I love higher-ticket items like designer bags and shoes, the chicest items in my closet are actually all items I consider to be affordable. Basics don’t always have to be basic, and trendy pieces don’t necessarily stay in my closet for just one season. In fact, there are some chic Nordstrom items I love at comparatively reasonable prices. Whether you’re going for something a bit avant-garde like a uniquely shaped bag or a piece to transition you from season to season such as a button-up shirt or Mary Janes, Nordstrom has tons of chic options I just know you’re going to love.
I’ve been writing about fashion for years, and the one piece of advice I have for people trying to find their own personal style is to not follow the trends. Of course, it’s fun at times (who doesn’t love a rosette?), but the best outfits are the ones you’ll be able to look back on in a few years and still love. If this logic resonates with you in any way, you’re going to want to stick around.
I’ve curated a list specifically for you, dear reader, and after scouring for chic Nordstrom items for hours and hours, I’ve come up with my top 32 picks below. Psst—almost everything is under $300.
The sheer skirt plus cozy knit top make this dress a standout pick.
This blazer dress is beyond chic. It's giving The Row.
It's statistically impossible not to wear this sweater at least several times a week.
