We've talked a lot about stealth-wealth fashion here at Who What Wear, and if dressing like the 1% is your vibe—i.e. wearing outfits that have an expensive, luxurious look—but you don't want to spend a small fortune on your wardrobe, then you've come to the right place! Today, I'm sharing 35 seriously chic-looking finds from Nordstrom that exude effortless elegance and are classic yet trend-forward. Think relaxed tailoring, minimal accessories, and elevated basics.
