I always find amazing basics when perusing through Nordstrom. The retailer consistently updates its new arrivals section, so there's always a fresh batch of fantastic things to discover.

I went through Nordstrom's basics yesterday to curate an edit of items I think you'll love. And when I refer to "basics," I'm talking about highly versatile pieces that can be styled with a wide range of other items.

What will you find included in the edit ahead? There are several easy dresses, A+ denim silhouettes, and cool jackets to top off your spring looks. Keep scrolling to check out the best basics from Nordstrom right now.
