My Friend Has Classic Style and Wants to Look Even Chicer—I Suggested These Nordstrom Finds

As the fashion person in my friend group, regularly offering product recommendations comes with the territory. On that note, one of my friends has self-described classic style (leaning into timeless pieces) and asked for pieces to help make her looks feel even chicer this spring.
I turned to Nordstrom (one of her favorite retailers) to find options. Given her classic approach to dressing, I focused on items that have longevity but also have a slightly trend-forward twist to achieve that modern look. Below you'll uncover the list I sent her, along with other pieces I found for inspiration. You'll notice items like stylish jackets, gorgeous skirts, and more.
