If You Love Simple Basics, These 24 New Nordstrom Items Will Work Best for You

As I highlighted recently, Nordstrom is one of my go-tos for those classic and next-level basics. Honestly, if you’re looking for a cool ribbed tank, a fresh denim cut, or a pair of neutral slides, this mega-retailer will most likely have what you’re looking for. So if someone that has simple style asks me for shopping recommendations, I almost always tell them to hit up Nordstrom to see what’s up.
On that note, I recently spent some time scrolling through the new arrivals tab to uncover some gems to highlight in various stories. What I found is that there’s currently quite the range of solid basics that could definitely pique your interest.
Intrigued? Keep scrolling to uncover an edit of a few Nordstrom staples that may just become your new go-tos thanks to their inherently versatile and simple yet chic nature.
