As the fashion person in my friend group, regularly offering product recommendations comes with the territory. On that note, one of my friends has self-described classic style (leaning into timeless pieces) and asked for pieces to help make her looks feel even chicer this spring.
I turned to Nordstrom (one of her favorite retailers) to find options. Given her classic approach to dressing, I focused on items that have longevity but also have a slightly trend-forward twist to achieve that modern look. Below you’ll uncover the list I sent her, along with other pieces I found for inspiration. You’ll notice items like stylish jackets, gorgeous skirts, and more.
