Nordstrom has fantastic basics. In fact, I routinely turn to the retailer for my personal wardrobe needs. In addition, I curate edits when my friends need shopping advice and when I’m pulling standout items to recommend to you, dear readers. And that’s what’s coming your way below.
I scrolled through the entire Nordstrom site to find the best basics that are under $50. Given their versatility, I think the pieces coming up in the curation ahead could actually become new wardrobe staples. I’m talking about everything from amazing T-shirts that have tons of positive customer reviews to quality leggings to easy sweaters that could be dressed up or down.
