There are a few words that many of the fashion people in my circle use to describe their style. And yes, the term "elevated" certainly makes the rounds. Elevated style is desirable because your looks feel sleek, polished, and elegant. One way to achieve this idea of having elevated style is by opting for pieces that have that same aesthetic. Nordstrom is filled with these types of refined items.
Below you'll find a curation of pieces to consider if elevated is how you describe your style. The chic items feel modern yet classic, including sophisticated tailoring, delicate knits, simple yet striking flats, and more.
Keep scrolling to shop the best elevated fashion items to buy at Nordstrom this season.
