If I’m being honest, I think I speak for all of us when I say the wardrobe goal of 2022 is a closet full of simple yet elevated clothing that you can mix and match throughout the seasons. Great basics are essential to a sustainable and cost-effective wardrobe, and when I’m looking to add more Nordstrom is my go-to.

As a former Nordstrom stylist, I remember spending time with clients emphasizing the power of a great basic—blazers you can style with jeans, dresses, and miniskirts; racerback tank tops and bodysuits you can pair with trousers; low-rise denim; and high-slit midi skirts. Jeans you can wear forever, I could go on and on.
