I spent January thinking about what I want my wardrobe to look like in 2024, and now, I've realized that I need to stock up on some fresh basics. I've always been inclined to make more eclectic purchases and have slightly neglected to invest in staple pieces that will act as the foundation of most of my outfits. It's never too late to fix your mistakes, so I'm starting anew by doing a deep dive on Nordstrom to find fresh T-shirts, staple loafers, everyday bags, and more. These items may be basic, but when styled correctly, they'll be anything but boring. Learn from my mistakes—these basics are the most important buys your wardrobe is looking for.
From the 100% cotton T-shirt with the perfect relaxed silhouette to the designer wool coat you'll cherish for years, I've found the key buys available at Nordstrom right now. With these in your closet, you'll be prepared to put together some stellar outfits all year round.
I still can't believe these loafers aren't designer. They just have that Jil Sander look to them.
Throw it over your shoulders or layer it over a crisp white T-shirt.
