It’s not surprising that Nordstrom seems to be our go-to retailer we turn to time and time again to purchase our trusty staples. Curious to find out the absolute best basics to buy at Nordstrom, I tapped into my fellow editors to see exactly what they love to purchase from the multi-brand retailer. From bras to leggings, scroll below as we share the versatile items we can’t live without.
