Fashion People Are Known for Wearing These Items, and I Found Them at Nordstrom

One of the first sites I hit up when scouring the internet for the latest and greatest fashion picks is Nordstrom. It's a no-brainer due to its excellent selection of essentials, trendy pieces, designer selects, and everything in between. Another plus is the great size availability and the range of price points. I know I'm not alone in this, as many in the fashion set have been spotted in Nordy finds as well.
Some of the items I see sported the most are elevated basics. These pieces are everyday classics with a trendy update or modern, polished twist. In fact, there are six particular items I see fashion people wearing the most that can be found at Nordstrom. I rounded up my favorites of each item to wear now and for many more seasons to come, from lightweight outerwear to cool sunglasses and standout knits. Many can even be mixed and matched. Keep scrolling to discover and shop each stylish pick for yourself.
1. Trench Coats
A trench coat is an easy way to look instantly polished—you can throw one on over everything from sweats to a gorgeous dress.
Shop:
2. Ribbed Dresses
Ribbed dresses are having a major moment right now. The simple texture elevates the feel of the dresses to give them a luxe vibe. That said, you can easily dress them up or down.
Shop:
3. Striped Sweaters
It's striped-sweater madness this season. Yes, it is a forever classic, but this time around, it's more about oversize fits.
Shop:
4. Rectangle Sunglasses
Cat-eye sunglasses will always be a go-to, but this season, a rectangular shape feels cool and more fashion-forward.
Shop:
5. Cutout Sweaters
Cutout sweaters are a major trend this season, and it's no wonder why. The style brings any outfit to the next level with very little effort.
Shop:
6. Straight-Leg White Jeans
Crisp white jeans are a mainstay, especially as spring and summer roll around. This season, opt for a straight-leg version that feels fresh and modern.
