I Tell All My Friends to Try These 6 Brands at Nordstrom for Chic Staples

Nordstrom is one of my go-to stores for a range of items. You too? Excellent. You might be quite interested in what's coming your way. This mega-retailer more or less stocks something for every style. So when my friends ask me for advice on which stores to check out for new wardrobe staples, I routinely suggest Nordy. In fact, there are a few key brands sold at the retailer that I specifically recommend to many.
It's this curation of labels that consistently stocks the items that catch my attention. Here, I'm talking about pieces like trendy basics (reworked shirting and oversize blazers), quality denim silhouettes, and versatile layering pieces. On that note, I thought I'd share just a few of my favorite brands at Nordstrom right now. Keep scrolling for more of a debrief, including shopping picks if you're interested in adding something new into your rotation.
Open Edit
This is the latest in-house brand in the Nordstrom Made offering. The line features those forward staples that are incredibly modern, including everything from chic knits to of-the-moment tailoring picks.
Levi's
What can I say—you just can't go wrong with that perfect pair of Levi's. Luckily, Nordy always has a smattering of the current cuts that just may pique your interest.
Treasure & Bond
If it's a trendy basic one of my friends needs, I usually suggest turning to Treasure & Bond for stellar options like easy dresses and sleek sandals.
4th & Reckless
This brand is another go-to for those trend-driven items. The blazers are A+ in the slouchier fits, and the simpler items like oversize tees are great as well.
BP
Another favorite in-house Nordstrom brand, BP stocks a smattering of cute items that feel very current.
Who What Wear
Okay, okay, I may be totally biased here, but the Who What Wear selection currently offers adorable shoes and bags that are perfect for the season.
