I'm a Former Nordstrom Stylist Turned Forever Nordy Shopper—I Love These Basics
Before my days as a fashion editor, I worked as a fashion stylist for Nordstrom. I loved spending time with my favorite brands, getting to see all of the new arrivals in person, and trying on everything we had that came in so I could recommend the best options to my clients. When they would ask me, "What’s the most important thing I need to know about updating my wardrobe?” The answer was always the same: "You need great basics.”
As an editor, my Nordy loyalty is still just as strong as it was when I was a stylist. And my theory on investing in great basics holds true. On that note, keep scrolling to check out the current basics at Nordstrom that I'm obsessed with at the moment.
This button-up comes in so many colors and can be styled in so many different ways.
The utility trend is here, and these pants are perfect.
Dress this up with strappy heels or down with a pair of sneakers.
