Around May, I always start to reassess my wardrobe and slowly lug my heavier layers and staples to a different small closet in my house to make way for lighter warm-weather styles (does anyone else have a summer and winter closet?). Now that temps have risen above 65 degrees, I need to upgrade my everyday basics—think tank tops, tees, denim, and skirts with a fresh feel for summer 2023.
Since I'm on a budget, I spent hours scouring Nordstrom for chic warm-weather basics that feel on-trend and all clock in at under $90. From sleek sandals to pretty pointelle tank tops, keep scrolling for the Nordstrom basics that have my attention and might just capture yours too. Shop my favorites below.
