Just call me your local Italophile because Italian style is just about all I can think about at the moment. There's no question that Europeans in general have an A+ sense of style, but it's the Italians that seem to posses an effortless glamour that's having a huge influence on what I wear and how I shop right now. I grew up surrounded by a big Italian American family and have spent a significant amount of time living and visiting our family in Italy, so I consider myself to be well-versed in their particular brand of elevated polish.
Since shopping is just what I do, I thought it would be fun to put my knowledge of Italian style to use and imagine the types of fashion items they would put in their carts when shopping on Nordstrom. With their epic Cyber Monday deals in full force, there's a dizzying number of discounts to take advantage of, so if you're anything like me and want to shop like a chic Roman or Milanese, then you're in for a treat because the e-tailer is home to tons of Italian style staples right now.
Behold—the ultimate guide to shopping Nordstrom like a true Italian fashion person.
One thing about Italians? They're serious about the classics.
The kind of dress that would look just as good with boots as it would with sandals.

So polished.
What Italian women wear instead of jeans 99% of the time.
Wearing this is like a shortcut for looking expensive.
The cut and color remind me of a similar Prada style.
Irresistibly pretty.
Loafers that will last you a lifetime.
I'm in such a halter-top mood right now.
It's impossible to look anything other than polished in this.
Chic with dresses or skirts.
This dress was made to be worn while strolling down a cobblestone street with a gelato in hand.
Walk around Milan for an hour and you'll see at least 100 top-handle bags like this.
I've noticed how European women tend to be pickier when they show skin. They'd be into this sophisticated top.
Take it from me: Pinstripes are coming back.
To elevate the everyday details.
This croc-effect finish is so luxe.
Yes, even their pajamas are chic.
Italian women have an appreciation for pretty lingerie. Hello to this lace bra.
They wouldn't dare skip the chance to make it a matching set.
Sleek, cool, and chic.
Well, duh.
Trousers should be a wardrobe staple no matter where you live.
A regret-free purchase.
A coat with an outfit idea to match.
Pretty.
Sophisticated.
Love this with skirts, trousers, or jeans.
