Fashion people, including the editors at Who What Wear, routinely gravitate toward Nordstrom for its top-notch assortment of merchandise. The offering of elevated basics is particularly noteworthy with a range of options to suit a variety of styles and budgets. On that note, I asked some of my fellow team members about the items they recently added to their wardrobes. And yes, new wardrobe staples like Levi’s jeans, Open Edit separates, and Topshop pieces from Nordstrom topped the list.
With this in mind, I thought I’d pull together an edit of Nordstrom pieces that I think are fantastic in case you’re looking for a bit of shopping inspiration. The items coming your way could have the power to become new wardrobe staples for you because of their fashionable and highly versatile nature. Keep scrolling for more.
