One of my dear friends is inspired by the Parisian aesthetic. She has an Instagram Saved folder filled with outfit ideas from French women, many of whom are showcased above. It's also worth noting that she often taps me for shopping advice (it comes with the territory as a fashion editor) and recently inquired about what types of items she should look into to emulate that Parisian-chic vibe. Nordstrom is one of her favorite stores, and the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is currently live. So I sent her a list of chic items to consider from the retailer.

Women in Paris are often known for their effortless sense of style, so elevated basics that don't feel fussy were at the top of the shopping list. Keep scrolling to check out easy and chic Nordstrom items if you, too, are into the Parisian aesthetic. The first 10 below are the exact items I sent to my friend. I also rounded up other standouts, like cool shirting, pretty skirts, tailoring, and more.
