The editors here at Who What Wear consistently shop Nordstrom for top-notch basics. I routinely uncover fantastic picks that help balance out my wardrobe. Some of my recent finds (ahem, Levi’s jeans) have become new closet staples due to their versatility and stylish nature. With all of this in mind, I thought I’d curate an edit of the elevated basics from Nordstrom that stand out right now.
I believe any of the items coming your way would appeal to fashion people (they certainly got the seal of approval from my fellow fashion editors) because they’re easy to style and modern with forward design details. As a preview, I’m referring to finds like linen blazers, cool tees, easy dresses, and more.
Keep scrolling to shop the elevated Nordstrom basics that could certainly be in any fashion person’s wardrobe.
