Basics are the true backbone of a wardrobe. I really couldn’t imagine my personal closet without those staple items to serve as the foundational pieces in my everyday looks. Given my adoration of simple basics (and those trendier, next-level basics), I’m always interested in the new assortment of pieces at some of my go-to retailers. On that note, I took a gander through Nordstrom, H&M, and Shobpop to uncover fresh basics that I wanted you to see.
I focused on elevated winter pieces that are highly versatile. You may already have a range of winter go-tos, but if you’re looking for a bit of a refresh, there’s a ton of shopping inspiration coming your way.
Keep scrolling to find 11 basics along with the top pick from each of the three retailers that fits within the category. Happy shopping.
