New Year, New Basics: Every Key Buy From Nordstrom That Your Wardrobe Needs
I spent January thinking about what I want my wardrobe to look like in 2024, and now, I've realized that I need to stock up on some fresh basics. I've always been inclined to make more eclectic purchases and have slightly neglected to invest in staple pieces that will act as the foundation of most of my outfits. It's never too late to fix your mistakes, so I'm starting anew by doing a deep dive on Nordstrom to find fresh T-shirts, staple loafers, everyday bags, and more. These items may be basic, but when styled correctly, they'll be anything but boring. Learn from my mistakes—these basics are the most important buys your wardrobe is looking for.
From the 100% cotton T-shirt with the perfect relaxed silhouette to the designer wool coat you'll cherish for years, I've found the key buys available at Nordstrom right now. With these in your closet, you'll be prepared to put together some stellar outfits all year round.
I still can't believe these loafers aren't designer. They just have that Jil Sander look to them.
Throw it over your shoulders or layer it over a crisp white T-shirt.
Speaking of crisp white T-shirts, this 100% cotton option has the ideal relaxed fit.
If you're working an office job, this is the skirt your corporate wardrobe is missing.
Dressed up or down, these trousers will easily be the most worn item in your closet.
Yes, I know these are very trendy at the moment, but give them a chance. This pair in black will become a staple you'll reach for often.
Madewell has seriously upgraded its game in the handbag department.
When in doubt, throw on a little leather jacket. It'll pull together any ensemble.
I have yet to find the perfect pair of low-slung jeans. I'm predicting this pair will be it.
A striped sweater is an easy fix for those days when you have no idea what to wear.
If you're going to brave the cold, you might as well do it in this chic coat.
I have yet to meet someone who doesn't own and love these Reformation pants.
Everyone needs a good white tank in their closet. I prefer mine high-neck, like this one.
I love trendy shoes more than the next person, but there's something about penny loafers that polishes up an outfit so effortlessly.
I'm usually not for jeans that hit at the ankle, but they just pair so well with boots in the wintertime.
The ribbed detail on this will make it easier to dress up than just a regular tank. Pair with a blazer and trousers and you're ready for a day at work. Pair with jeans and a button-down and you've perfected a casual yet elevated outfit.
Hurry—this cashmere sweater has been flying off the shelves in all colors.
If you want your wardrobe to scream elegance in 2024, a shirt like this should be on your shopping list.
Almost every editor on our team owns this top. It's a must-have.
Rather than black, the neutral I gravitate to more is brown. If you're in the same boat, these chocolate ballet flats are right up your alley.
