As you know, we love a good Nordstrom sale over here, and this week, the multi-brand retailer kicked off its big summer sale featuring up to 60% off some of the coolest brands including Free People, Madewell, Nike, Levi's and more through September 12.
One category I always love to stock up during Nordstrom summer sales are basics—the backbone of our wardrobes that we turn to time and again. Luckily, I’ve sifted through hundreds of Nordstrom sale pages (so you don’t have to), and below, I’m rounding up the chicest (along with plenty of practical) staples worth scooping up during the sale. From black ankle boots that will ease you into fall to trending white tank tops and essential bras, take a look below at the stylish staples worth adding to your cart.
