Effortless elegance is my style mantra in 2025, and I'm determined to keep my shopping focused on pieces that reflect that sensibility. Think elevated basics, modern silhouettes, and quality pieces that are timeless in nature. One retailer I'll always make a beeline to when shopping for these pieces is Nordstrom, which carries a variety of elevated silhouettes at every budget. Below, I'm specifically highlighting elegant jackets, shoes, and dresses—three categories I like to update in my closet when a new season begins.
For spring, I have my eye on chic new trench coats, barn jackets, and blazers, along with suede sneakers and sleek sandals—ideal for the warmer weather upon us. And of course, there's nothing like a new dress or two to say spring has officially sprung. Elegant dressers, keep scrolling below for the very chicest spring jackets, shoes, and dresses for every budget at Nordstrom.
