"Timeless" and "forever wardrobe" are the phrases on every fashion person's lips right now. No matter if you're 23 or 63, I'm going to take a wild guess and say that a certain anti-trend, quiet-luxury aesthetic is probably also resonating with you at the moment. I think we're all a bit trend-fatigued and looking for items that will not only look elegant and chic, but that will truly the stand the test of time.
Well, one everyone's favorite go-to retailer Nordstrom is clearly taking notes on the growing interest in paring things back and has been acting accordingly. I searched all up and down the site and found a trove of items that were so chic, so luxurious, and so wealthy looking they shocked me to my very core. From the languid cream-toned trousers you'll want to skip your jeans for to the striped knits that will make you look like you just spent time on a yacht, I'm uncovering the best classic Nordstrom shopping to buy now and wear forever.
