If a Parisian Shopped the Surprise Nordstrom Sale, They'd Go for These 40 On-Trend Items

Nordstrom just launched a surprise limited-time sale through October 1. The sale was a total surprise to me, so I curated a range of coveted discounted items that would be perfect additions to any fall wardrobe. Well, I thought I'd expand on that with another list of must-haves. I specifically focused on those elevated basics and on-trend pieces (forward selects with modern design details) that would fit the Parisian aesthetic—easy, elevated, and fuss-free. You know, very je ne sais quoi.
While Nordstrom doesn't technically exist in France, I bet that if a Parisian shopped the new Nordstrom sale, they'd be into the chic and relevant picks coming your way. Keep scrolling to shop beautiful outerwear, sleek flats, stylish denim silhouettes, and more from Nordstrom's latest sale.
