The Nordstrom Made Department Has My Favorite Trendy Staples—I Like These Best

It’s no secret that Nordstrom is a go-to retailer for many of the editors on the team (myself included). After all, we cover our favorite buys on the regular. You may remember this piece on the chicest under-$100 items or this one on quality basics. And, fun fact, there’s actually one department I personally turn to quite often when I’m looking to uncover some of the freshest picks. Yep, I’m talking about the Nordstrom Made section.
This group of in-house lines stocks a variety of covetable pieces. Many of the items from labels like Open Edit and BP could easily fall into that "trendy staples” category—you know, finds that are fashion-forward and highly versatile in that they have the potential to be routine fixtures in your rotation. Below, I thought I’d round up some of the trendy staples I like best, including unique knits and cool outerwear silhouettes. Keep scrolling for loads of shopping inspo.
Next, check out more chic pieces to consider for the season.
