Die-hard Nordstrom shoppers know the site’s drop-down menus can transport you to all sorts of highly specific product curations (“Cabincore“, anyone?). If you’re anything like me, you’re maybe after something a bit less… specific. More casually dialed in. “Gently on-trend”, if you will—the kind of clothing and accessories that feel intentional and nod to the current state of fashion, only without completely smashing you over the head with it.
Nordstrom is currently overflowing with such quietly cool pieces—more than enough to warrant a spot on Nordstrom’s homepage, but in lieu of that, I’m giving them their own story. If you’re also interested in just nudging some of winter’s top trends such as velvet, patent leather, and metallics in an effortless, easy-to-wear way, but otherwise sticking to the quiet luxury vibe that’s defining 2023 (and, it’s fair to say, 2024), these low-key cool picks are definitely for you.
Cozy faux shearling with a wide collar and cropped fit is just the right nod to the ’70s.
It’s the slightly square toe.
With tights and Mary Janes.
Classic.
The perfect mock neck.
Khaite’s Fair Isle pieces are the knits of the season.
A little more wallet-friendly. (Also, elephants!)
Ultra-soft and the perfect injection of red. (It comes in seven other colors, if you prefer)
A little more subtle than the silver jeans that have also been trending.
This blazer is incredible value.
Mary Janes might just be the most wearable trend of the year.
Just a shadow of cable knit texture.
Metallic flats are a thing I can get on board with.
Take her everywhere.
A little oversize is key.
The shape feels so modern and elegant.
The crinkle effect.
Extremely into the texture of this winter-weight blazer.
Patent leather and kitten heels are both having a moment.
Some low-key velvet paired with relaxed denim is a mood.
Team these with the above.
A muted red touch.
The shape of this bag.
Cashmere-blend pants, you say?
Feels luxe.
A more low-key Prada moment, if folds and embellishments aren’t your thing.
