An Italian Woman Walks Into Nordstrom—31 Chic Sale Picks She'd Be Sure to Buy

Imagine a world in which you couldn't stroll into a Nordstrom to shop the popular retailer's latest chic selection. This is the reality for the stylish Europeans out there. Thank the fashion gods for international shipping. Speaking of Europe, you already know about my affinity for French style, but Italian inspiration has been creeping more and more into my psyche lately. Sometimes, with my admiration for chic Italian style in mind, I like to play a game—what would a chic Italian woman buy at my favorite online haunts? This time around, I decided to focus on Nordstrom, specifically the store's Half-Yearly Sale, which ends Sunday, June 2.
Italians are known for their sleek take on elevated basics mixed in with edgier pieces and other standout options. That said, I kept an eye out for tops, denim, blazers, dresses, and shoes that would feel right at home in the stylish closets of Milan. Keep scrolling to shop 37 chic Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale picks that Italian women would swoon over this season.
