11 Winter Basics You Should See From Nordstrom, H&M, and Shopbop

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.
