If a Stylish Italian Woman Shopped the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, These 30 Chic Pieces Would Catch Her Eye

It's no secret that Who What Wear editors covet European style to the max, especially of the Italian variety. That's exactly why I often find myself pondering what the chic Italian women I follow on Instagram would buy when I do some shopping of my own. Such was the case when I was recently perusing the latest drops from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, and I made sure to take note of all the standouts.
To start, I kept my eye out for a variety of sleek and sexy pieces that Italian women are known for. Think elevated basics like blazers and button-downs as well as standout dresses, of-the-moment shoes, and so much more to wear now and straight into fall. Keep scrolling to shop my roundup of 30 chic finds from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale that would catch the eye of a stylish Italian woman.
