My Friend Asked for Chic Clothing Ideas—I Sent These Items From Revolve, Nordstrom, and Shopbop
One of my dear friends messaged me recently asking for my suggestions on, as she said, chic clothes for 2025. As a shopping director, I was ready to send many strong options. She likes Revolve, Nordstrom, and Shopbop, so I sent her picks from this trio of stores.
Below you’ll uncover the pieces I sent her (the first 10 pieces below) that feel modern, cool, elevated, and yes chic. I also rounded up more from each brand for further shopping inspiration. You’ll find everything from dreamy outerwear (ahem, like the suede trench above) to wear-everywhere sweaters to the best of the best jeans.
As my friend said, the scarf detail brings a fashion-forward spin to this cardigan.
I suggested this trench because it looks way more expensive than it is.
I noted that this powder pink hue will be one of the key color trends of the year.
