I love a good trend as much as the next fashion editor, and I'll always incorporate an of-the-moment piece (or two) into my wardrobe at the start of a new season. However, I generally err toward the classics when shopping for everyday pieces—items that are timeless, elegant, and will last so much longer than just one season.
Nordstrom is one of my go-to retailers to shop for elevated basics, and I've waded through tons of products on its site to bring you a list of easy-to-wear, classic pieces that will remain eternally timeless. If you're indecisive about what to buy this fall, my edit of Nordstrom finds below will keep you looking perennially chic.
Keep scrolling for elegant sweaters, sleek trousers, slingbacks, and more.
