My Mom and I Like Classic Fashion—These 35 Early Fall Items From Nordstrom Excite Us

My mother and I adore shopping together. While we certainly have our own styles, we gravitate toward the classic fashion aesthetic. You know, those special pieces that feel modern yet timeless. They're beyond chic.
As I've highlighted before, Nordstrom is a go-to store for both of us, and the retailer consistently stocks those classic fashion items in addition to trendier items, of course. Below, you'll uncover all of the early fall items we both like after scrolling through Nordstrom together one morning.
Keep scrolling for elegant sweaters, sleek trousers, slingbacks, and more.
