A French Woman on a Budget Walks Into Nordstrom—29 Items She'd Buy Tout de Suite

Ah, two subjects we love to talk about: French-girl style and Nordstrom! While the two things don't usually coincide (as of now, there are no Nordstrom locations in France), we like to keep things hypothetical and fun over here. Today, we're bringing you a French-inspired guide of what our Parisian fashion friends are likely to buy should they ever find themselves across the pond, on a budget, and wandering into a Nordstrom.
Keep scrolling for plenty of shopping inspiration if you're curious or simply love Nordstrom and French-girl style like we do. You'll find everything from sleek staples to must-have Mary Janes and Parisian-inspired basics that are ideal for the current season.
Button-downs are an integral part of every French woman's wardrobe.
French women love their straight-leg jeans. Wear with heels and flats alike.
Relaxed and fitted cardigans are a favorite among the French during the cold-weather season.
A knit midi dress you can style with sneakers and boots alike.
There's something about a luxe navy sweater that feels so French.
Mary Janes might be trending, but they've always been a staple in a French woman's wardrobe.
The cool French crowd loves a vintage-inspired leather jacket.
