Parisian style is synonymous with words like chic, modern, and effortless. As a result, elevated basics (pieces similar to the items pictured above) are often go-to selects for this set. On that note, we bet that if a woman in Paris made a fall shopping list, those versatile and modern basics would make the cut. One retailer that stocks a range of A+ elevated basics? Nordstrom.
While Nordstrom doesn't technically exist in France yet, we bet a Parisian would be very into the fall shopping list ahead because the items fit within that Parisian aesthetic. Included in the edit? There's everything from beautiful sweaters that could be styled with many different items to gorgeous jackets to get through the season. Keep scrolling for all of that and more.
