Wait, I Found the Top-Rated Jeans and Basics at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

I recently scrolled through all of the pages of discounted merchandise on offer during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, which opened to the public on July 17. In fact, I shared a curation of A+ pieces right here. While creating that edit, I noticed so many top-rated jeans and basics. Yes, some are included in that mix, but I wanted to expand further with a full list of the not-to-miss jeans and basics.
All of the items coming your way—including straight-leg jeans, distressed denim, simple knits, and versatile tops—have positive reviews with four stars and above. This is what gives the pieces that top-rated ranking.
Keep scrolling for a shopping list from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. You'll also find an actual customer testimonial for each piece.
"Love these jeans!! So comfortable."
"I'm loving this bootcut fit and grayish-black wash."
"I absolutely love these bike shorts. They are super comfortable. Love the look and ribbing."
