Basics From Nordstrom That Would Be in Any Fashion Person's Wardrobe

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.
A striped shirt is a no-fail basic and can be worn with so many different outfits.
Wear this sweater as is or drape it over your shoulders for a layered look.
This denim maxi dress would be chic with flats, sandals, or sneakers.
The structured pleats here bring a modern twist to this elegant dress.
This dress could be considered a trendier basic, but it's still very versatile and could be worn for a range of occasions.
And one more great button-down shirt to round out the list.
