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.
