Without needing to buy things for weddings, parties, and trips this summer, the segment of my wardrobe that's grown exponentially as of late is the basics one. Casual dresses, pull-on shorts, tank tops, and sandals are filling my cart this summer, and of course, one of the easiest places to find these warm-weather basics is Nordstrom and its vast array of in-house brands. Whether or not you realize it, if you're a Nordstrom shopper, you're probably already familiar with them. Among the offerings are BP., Treasure & Bond, Leith, and Chelsea28.
So what's my point, exactly? So glad you asked. From now until August 3, Nordstrom is having a big sale on its in-house brands, and there are tons of summer basics to choose from, and they're even cheaper than they already were. Upon perusing the 700+ items included in the sale, I found most prices to be marked down by a whopping 40 to 60%. Exciting, right? in case you don't have time to look through more than 700 Nordstrom items (understandable), I did so for you. Keep scrolling to shop your best basics bets while they're majorly marked down.
Oversized button-downs like this plus elastic-waist shorts is my summer 2020 uniform.
The perfect black swimsuit can be yours for $32.
As versatile as a plain white T-shirt, but obviously better.
These would be cute with the following bodysuit.
Such a good color to have on hand.
I consider a cute casual dress to be a basic, even if it's printed like this one.
I'm tempted to wear this with Converse high-tops now.
Expect to hear the words "cool tank" a lot when wearing this.
Additional sizes available here.
You can never have too many of these.
This should make that awkward transition to fall a bit easier.
If you want to start wearing the aforementioned blazer now, you should probably get the shorts too.
Another good thing to wear with the aforementioned blazer (and shorts).
Additional sizes available here.
Summer is for wearing things like this.
Even the waistband on these is cute.
Just in case you need a new high-quality white tee.
I don't know about you but I can only wear cropped leggings in the summer.
There are so many ways to wear this (including over a swimsuit).
The perfect cardigan to wear in the summer if you just can't part with the trend.
Additional sizes available here.
As comfortable as sweatpants, but without the "sweat" part.
This will keep you cool on even the most sweltering days.
Minimal effort for maximum chicness.
Basics don't have to be neutrals.
I'm not usually a fan of bodysuits, but this one is so good.
The perfect cropped black pants, if you ask me.
As flattering as white shorts get.
