If Adding Chic Items to Your Closet Is the Goal, These 30 Stylish Nordstrom Basics Will Do the Trick
Versatile and elevated staples.


When I'm shopping for something new to add to my wardrobe, there are certain criteria a piece must meet. Yes, it being chic and relevant are two important factors. As a result, it's often elevated basics—pieces that are forward, modern, and easy to style—that are of interest. You too? Wonderful. You're going to be quite interested in what's coming your way. I should also mention that Nordstrom is one of the key retailers that the editors here at Who What Wear (myself included) turn to for a top-notch assortment of basics.
I scrolled through the site one afternoon to curate an edit of the most fashionable basics that will elevate any closet. Below, you'll find everything from classic-feeling shirts to pretty skirts to cool pants that will carry you into fall.
