I recently shared my adoration for more low-key fashion items. While I enjoy testing new trends, simple items often become everyday staples in my wardrobe. In other words, basics are my front-runners. Who What Wear editors refer to these pieces as "anti-trend” items, meaning they’re not tied to fleeting trends but will remain relevant for seasons to come. And yes, Nordstrom consistently stocks a wide variety of these closet workhorses.
Below you’ll uncover the recent Nordstrom items that piqued my interest and that I think you’ll love if you also turn to easy clothing in your day-to-day. The finds in question could also be used as foundational elements to balance out any of the trendier picks you may incorporate from time to time. Keep scrolling to check out fantastic jeans, shirting, dresses, jackets, and more that I think are excellent and chic.
