Casual Elegance Is My Vibe—These 34 Nordstrom Finds Hit the Spot

When it comes to getting dressed, casual elegance is my motto. I'm leaning into outfits that look polished and ooze an air of wealth and sophistication yet feel relaxed and effortless. For me, this means opting for elevated basics, sleek silhouettes, and casual-chic fabrics like linen and crisp cotton.
After perusing Nordstrom's site this week, I found a whole host of separates, dresses, shoes, and more that embody the effortlessly chic aesthetic perfectly. Below, I'm sharing 34 pieces that are the epitome of casual elegance, from mesh ballet flats to relaxed button-downs and poplin dresses. The best part is that you can mix and match practically everything on this list to your heart's content!
Keep scrolling for the versatile Nordstrom finds that you'll be reaching for all summer.
