I Frequent the Basics Section at Nordstrom—Here Are the Best Items to Buy
I turn to Nordstrom on the regular for my personal shopping and when I’m sourcing top-notch products to recommend to you, dear readers. While the retailer stocks a wide variety of merchandise, it’s the basics section that’s always particularly intriguing. Basically, if you’re looking for a specific versatile find to help balance out your wardrobe, Nordstrom will probably have it. On that note, I recently found quite the smattering of next-level basics while perusing through the site while doing market research for various stories.
The simple picks—everything from classic layering items to those trendy basics like cropped cardigans—get an A+ because they're chic and can easily mix and match with other pieces. And given that the items in the assortment are quite stylish, I have a feeling that many will actually sell out pretty quickly. With all that in mind, keep scrolling to check out some of the cutest basics at Nordstrom right now.
Adorable (especially with the matching pants).
A super cute elevated basic to wear with jeans or the coordinating pants.
