We Wear These 5 Basics on Repeat, and They're All at Nordstrom for Under $50
There are a few key wardrobe basics that many of the fashion editors on our team wear on repeat due to their simple and easy-to-style nature. It’s these go-to items that more or less act as the foundational pieces to many of our favorite looks. And believe it or not, after scrolling through Nordstrom recently, it became very clear that many of said basics can actually be bought for $50 and under right at the retailer.
To showcase all of this further, we’re highlighting how we style the basics in question—pieces like easy knits and chic layering items. We also rounded up inspired shopping picks for each that can all be found at Nordstrom. Without further ado, keep scrolling for more. You just might find a new basic or two to add to your offering.
1. Chic Cardigans
Cardigans are a wardrobe staple at this point for many of us. That ideal silhouette can tie together basically any look.
2. Joggers
Joggers have become a go-to to complete those cozy WFH 'fits. They're a staple in our weekly rotations.
3. Leggings
Can't beat that flawless pair of leggings to either dress up or dress down.
4. Simple Sweaters
A simple sweater in a solid color is no-fail. That perfect pick can act as the perfect base layer to any look—including this denim-and-leather vibe.
5. Staple Tees
Nordstrom has quite the variety of simple tees and long-sleeved tees—ideal for layering and balancing out a chic 'fit.
