When someone asks me for shopping or style guidance, I often ask them what type of silhouette or vibe they want. Recently, my friends and family have all included the words "elegant," "sophisticated," and "chic" in their lists of desirable aesthetics. I certainly understand why. Elegant outfits created with classic yet modern pieces always feel fashionable and timeless.
Nordstrom is filled with pieces that skew on the elegantly chic side, so yes, I scrolled through the offering, including picks that are on sale, to create an edit of fashionable items that would perfectly fit into an elegant wardrobe. Below, you'll find everything from beautiful blouses to sleek trousers to stylish flats.
A pair of black wide-leg trousers is inherently refined and elegant.
Picture this sleek jersey top with the above trousers.
This Reformation linen vest is incredibly popular.
Expensive-looking flats.
As one reviewer said, this dress is "classic and fits like a dream."
Soft and dreamy.
One of my favorite bags right now.
A modern classic.
This sweater tank is such a chic fall layering piece.
Absolutely divine.
Wear this maxi skirt with a tank or a sweater.
A pretty poplin shirt to wear forever.
This bag looks like it would be 10 times the price.
Such an elegant jacket with a white shirt.
Another lovely top.
I adore the length here.
This shape is spot-on.

Not your average blazer.
Get ready for fall.

Gorgeous neckline.
Such a great deal!
A ribbed V-neck sweater is an essential.

You'll get so much wear out of this shirt.
Yes to these drop earrings.

And a pair of under-$100 sunnies to round out the list.
