My Fashionable Friend Asked What to Buy at Nordstrom —I Sent Her These Items That Are Beyond Chic

I spend many hours per week creating shopping lists and offering style recommendations as an editor (specifically, the shopping director here at Who What Wear). One retailer that’s my consistent go-to is Nordstrom. Whether I’m looking for affordable items that look expensive or actual designer pieces, Nordstrom brings it with the options. On that note, one of my most fashionable friends knows my adoration for Nordstrom and asked if I’ve recently seen anything I liked. Yes, of course.
I suggested five pieces I knew she’d love, including a dreamy longline coat and an oversize sweater. I sent her these finds ahead of Cyber Week (which is only a few weeks away now) because I have a feeling the pieces won’t be in stock when the big holiday shopping week comes around. Keep scrolling to shop the items (the first five in the group below) and other Nordstrom items I love to buy now or to bookmark for Cyber Week or any of your holiday shopping needs.
This is one of my favorite sweaters of the season. It looks so expensive, and my friend loved it.
The whipstitch detail takes this sweater to the next level.
