Pictured: Róhe Reimagined Cotton Banker Shirt ($450)
I'm the go-to style resource for those in my friend group. It comes with the territory given my job as a fashion editor. I recently sent a few summer Nordstrom items to one of my friends looking for shopping tips. Well, one of the others in my crew asked for a curated list of pieces I've been into this month. She specifically said she needed to "improve her closet" and wanted fresh items that are trend-driven but still versatile to go with her wardrobe made up primarily of basics.
I scrolled through Nordstrom and sent her 10 items that I think will elevate her current offering because they're modern and effortlessly chic. Keep scrolling to check out the tops, jeans, shoes, and more that I suggested. I also rounded up even more Nordy finds for further inspiration.
My friend mentioned that she wanted a pair of sophisticated shorts. I sent her these.
A perfect black button-down shirt is a must.
Sleek and polished for the season.
This shape is it right now.
Darling with sandals.
Beyond versatile.
Adore this cami.
This belt will elevate any look.
Another great pair of shorts.
Elegant. Period.
Perfection.

This satchel is timeless.
New going-out top, anyone?
Love the squared-off toe.
Go-to jeans for so many.
Pretty.
Picture these sandals with the above skirt.
The belt is actually removable.
The sneakers style-setters can't get enough of.
So chic and simple.
Another sweet tie-front option!
Wow. Just wow.
Modern.
You'll get so much wear out of these flats.
Adorable!
So into a linen blazer.
The draping is cool.
Plissé fabric for the win.
A gorgeous shirtdress.
