If a French Woman Shopped the Nordstrom Sale, Here Are 35 Items She'd Add to Cart

A few of my favorite things are French style, under-$100 Nordstrom finds, and a good sale. Combine the three, and you get the Nordstrom End of Season Sale. From now until April 15, shop French-woman spring basics at up to 50% off, including cigarette jeans, slingback flats, and trench coats. There's no denying French women have a certain je ne sais quoi, whether it's their aura or chic outfit formulas. I've already put together my editor-approved list of Nordstrom End of Season Sale finds, but this time, I went back, looking through the lens of the French-girl aesthetic. Think Jeanne Damas meets Françoise Hardy.

Below, shop elevated basics like animal-print ballet flats, chic midi skirts, cropped trench coats (a trend Londoners are loving too), V-neck long-sleeve tees, and more standout Nordstrom sale finds I think Parisians would add to their carts.
