My Friend Asked for Chic Clothing Ideas—I Sent These Items From Revolve, Nordstrom, and Shopbop
Pictured: Ducie Corrin Suede Coat ($1240)
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 like the suede trench above to "wear everywhere" sweaters to the best jeans.
