Nordstrom Basics Are My Jam, and These Under-$55 Picks Are Bringing Me Joy

@sophiabrennEveryone plays favorites with where they shop for certain fashion items. Maybe your ultimate destination for cute shoes is Shopbop (it's ours too) or you go ham on H&M's pretty dresses (same, again). Well, when it comes to basics, I'm a die-hard for Nordstrom. No matter what time of year it is or which direction my style is leaning toward at the moment, I can usually be found eyeing the retailer's winning selection of wardrobe staples and, on occasion, adding them to my cart.
Since I consider myself an expert in this arena, I've taken it upon myself to showcase all the useful clothing items that are filling my cart (and my heart) right now. Naturally, everything I'm loving at the moment is affordable, too, with nothing topping $55 in this roundup. So continue on to see all the best affordable Nordstrom basics, which I've helpfully broken down by category.
Tanks and Tees
Even better than a racerback tank since you'll always have the perfect tuck.
You'll definitely need this in a few months.
Dresses
Have you heard? Knit dresses are going to be big for fall.
Jeans, Pants, and Shorts
A little distressing goes a long way.
I'm envisioning these as part of a chic monochromatic look.
Activewear and Loungewear
Nordstrom shoppers love these affordable leggings.
I'm a sucker for anything with "cozy" in the name.
Fun fact: These were made from recycled plastic bottles.
I don't usually wear prints when I work out, but I can make an exception for this.
Shoes
I'm leaning into the '90s and never looking back.
Accessories
I'll always have room for another fun (fall-friendly) scrunchie.
These are über-useful since they minimize creases in your hair.
There can never be enough Nike crew socks.
