I Studied Nordstrom for Hours—These Are the 35 New Basics You'll Wear the Most

Whenever I visit pretty much any online retailer (including Nordstrom), I head straight for the new arrivals section. That's where you'll find the most well-stocked pieces and the most seasonally appropriate basics, so I know that it'll be time (and money) well spent. I tend to stock up on basics year-round, but I seem to be busier than ever this fall and winter, and I'm finding myself in need of lots of outfits that require lots of—you guessed it—basics.
I really commend Nordstrom's buyers because they continue to churn out a fresh supply of new basics on practically a daily basis. Whether you're in the market for jeans, outerwear, base layers, or versatile accessories, you're likely to find it there. And if you don't really know what you need but you know you need basics, I put together a thoroughly researched list of some of Nordstrom's best new ones that you'll wear the most. Scroll to discover.
These have been a Reformation best seller for a long time—and for good reason.
I've yet to try these, but they appear to be perfect.
These look like pants I had in high school, which is oddly comforting.
Is it just me or is everyone wearing faux-leather pants this season?
