There are a few words I typically use to describe my personal style, and "simple” is one of them. Essentially, while I will go for it with statement-making finds from time to time, my day-to-day looks typically consist of those versatile pieces that are easy and no-fuss. To find said items, I typically shop at a range of stores, but Nordstrom is definitely one of the go-tos. Although, that probably doesn’t come as much of a surprise given that the retailer really does stock quite a smattering of items, including those stylish basics.
On that note, I recently took a scroll through the new arrivals section to uncover some of the items I’m loving that would work for anyone that has more simple style like me. Intrigued? Keep scrolling to check out 25 fall pieces that are chic and easy, including everything from sleek tailoring to comfy knits to classic shoe styles.
