I'm a Fashion Editor Who Loves Nordstrom, COS, and J.Crew—These Items Are Elevated and So Chic

Pictured: COS coat
As a fashion editor (specifically the shopping director here at Who What Wear), I have a list of retailers I regularly source top-notch products from for you, dear readers. Said retailers are also go-to spots for my personal shopping needs. Yes, Nordstrom, COS, and J.Crew all fall on my priority list.
Each retailer has elevated basics and trend-forward picks that can take any wardrobe to the next level. I spent the afternoon scrolling through all of the new arrivals to uncover standout pieces that I think are elevated and impossibly chic. I’m referring to selects like gorgeous longline coats, dreamy sweaters that can be styled in so many different ways, and beautiful boots for winter.
Keep scrolling to shop the most fashionable pieces at Nordstrom, COS, and J.Crew.
