I've said it before, and I'll say it again: My aunt is one of my biggest style inspirations. In my 28 years as her niece, I've never seen her looking anything short of ultra chic and pulled-together, so it should come as no surprise when I tell you that it's basically her job to help people find their personal style. Practically everyone in our family goes to her for style advice (myself included), and since we both work in fashion now, I'm constantly texting her about everything from the coolest trends to know to what I'm considering buying.
Right now, my aunt is just as infatuated with the quiet-luxury aesthetic as my fellow editors and I are. When we compared shopping lists, both of ours were littered with classics like tailored trousers, chic flats, and bold cuff bracelets that are especially buzzy right now (despite ultimately being timeless). So I thought it would be fun to put my editor skills to the test and curate a Nordstrom shopping list for my aunt of all the "rich-looking" items that will help her goal of achieving a luxurious wardrobe.
Instead of keeping them to myself, I'm dishing on all the Nordstrom items that I sent my aunt. Not to brag, but these are giving wealth.
A tweed jacket will enhance any wardrobe, whether you're 25 or 55.
Can't forget the matching miniskirt.
Flawless.
For Bottega taste on a Nordstrom budget.
Boatneck tops are the ultimate quiet-luxury basic.
My fellow editors and I are swooning over everything Tory Burch right now. I know my aunt would adore this sophisticated handbag.
Sharp.
Adding a bold cuff to a simple outfit feels very right now.
Absolutely dripping in wealth.
An all-around regret-free purchase.
The wearer of this jacket looks like she has a diversified investment portfolio and likes to vacation in Monaco.
Slouchy shapes like this are the new It style for an everyday bag.
Can you say "rich mom?"
Nordstrom's in-house brand is getting really good.
Very The Row–esque flats.
I own these and wear them almost every day. I know my aunt would love them too.
A-line dresses are everywhere right now, and we're about to see so many poplin styles like this for spring.
Need I explain?
If you're going to wear a miniskirt, make it a tailored one.
If you're a Chanel girl at heart.
Simple but far from basic.
Every closet needs one.
My aunt is looking for new office attire and I'm telling her to prioritize pinstripe styles like this.
These remind me of a similar Prada pair but at about one-tenth of the price.
WWW readers can't get enough of this chic skirt, and I know my aunt would feel the same.
Hello, beautiful jacket.
The everyday watch you were looking for.
Funnel necks are very right now.
So sophisticated.
Dreamy.
