Everybody I Know Wants an Elegant Wardrobe—These 33 Chic Nordstrom Items Are Perfect

When someone asks me for shopping or style guidance, I often ask them what type of silhouette or vibe they want. Recently, my friends and family have all included the words "elegant," "sophisticated," and "chic" in their lists of desirable aesthetics. I certainly understand why. Elegant outfits created with classic yet modern pieces always feel fashionable and timeless.
Nordstrom is filled with pieces that skew on the elegantly chic side, so yes, I scrolled through the offering, including picks that are on sale, to create an edit of fashionable items that would perfectly fit into an elegant wardrobe. Below, you'll find everything from beautiful blouses to sleek trousers to stylish flats.
