I'd Describe These 29 Nordstrom Items as New Modern Classics

I'd describe a "modern classic" as a special piece of clothing that isn't fleeting and will remain a relevant constant in your wardrobe for years. Given that Nordstrom stocks a wide array of items—including a range of basics—the retailer is often a go-to to uncover pieces that fall in the category of modern classics.
Below, you'll find a list of the current Nordstrom items that have the potential to become new modern classics in your wardrobe because of their highly versatile and wearable nature. I'm referring to items like striped shirting, relaxed knits, denim skirts, and so on. Keep scrolling for more.
You could wear this dress with sneakers, flats, boots, or heels.
