My Mom and I Shopped the Nordstrom Holiday Sale Together—31 Elegant Finds We Both Love

My mom and I love shopping together—it's always been one of our favorite pastimes. And for me, it's a big part of my job as the shopping director here at Who What Wear. We both turn to Nordstrom for many of our wardrobe needs (my mom has always loved the shoe department). When I told my mom that the retailer was having a holiday sale, she wanted to scroll through the discounted offering together.
I should also mention that we're both very into elevated basics and elegant-feeling items that always feel chic and sophisticated. Several elegant finds piqued our interest—you'll find that list below for shopping inspiration.
Keep scrolling to shop sleek tailoring silhouettes, stunning sweaters, beautiful coats, and more from the Nordstrom holiday sale.
