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.
