One of the first sites I hit up when scouring the internet for the latest and greatest fashion picks is Nordstrom. It's a no-brainer due to its excellent selection of essentials, trendy pieces, designer selects, and everything in between. Another plus is the great size availability and the range of price points. I know I'm not alone in this, as many in the fashion set have been spotted in Nordy finds as well.
Some of the items I see sported the most are elevated basics. These pieces are everyday classics with a trendy update or modern, polished twist. In fact, there are six particular items I see fashion people wearing the most that can be found at Nordstrom. I rounded up my favorites of each item to wear now and for many more seasons to come, from lightweight outerwear to cool sunglasses and standout knits. Many can even be mixed and matched. Keep scrolling to discover and shop each stylish pick for yourself.
1. Trench Coats
A trench coat is an easy way to look instantly polished—you can throw one on over everything from sweats to a gorgeous dress.
Shop:
The back buttons on this pick make it a standout.
This light-colored option has a great oversize fit.
This classic coat makes any outfit look more put-together.
I would have guessed this trench was designer with the color and cut.
Lately, longer trench coats have been top of mind.
Stay dry without sacrificing style with this knee-length pick.
2. Ribbed Dresses
Ribbed dresses are having a major moment right now. The simple texture elevates the feel of the dresses to give them a luxe vibe. That said, you can easily dress them up or down.
Shop:
This neutral dress is a great find at under $100.
The trendy cutout detail and the vibrant green make this a top pick.
I'm here for the asymmetrical design of this black dress.
Hello, yellow. This is a nice break from neutrals.

Shop:
I can picture this option with everything from classic jeans to leggings.
The collared design feels very spring and summer.

Under $20? Yes, please.
White frames often give me '90s nostalgia.
These sporty shades have a fashion-forward feel.
Hello, statement sunglasses.
Here's a pair of black sunglasses that would give a cool touch to any look.
5. Cutout Sweaters
Cutout sweaters are a major trend this season, and it's no wonder why. The style brings any outfit to the next level with very little effort.
Shop:
Love that the top layer of this pick can be removed so it can be worn as just a tank top.
A neutral brown is perfect for a variety of looks.
This twist of the cutout is what makes this piece stand out from the rest.
An asymmetric style makes a major statement.
The subtle color and lightweight feel of this sweater are what grabbed my attention.
This has the same cutout on the back.
A beige version pairs so well with just about any other piece.

Crisp white jeans are a mainstay, especially as spring and summer roll around. This season, opt for a straight-leg version that feels fresh and modern.

Here's another affordable pair to wear all season long.
These have a cool raw hem.
This pair claims to be "zero see-through."
