I’m a Frequent Nordstrom Shopper—These 30 Winter Basics Are Legit

Here’s a shocker to no one: I’m a frequent Nordstrom shopper. During my weekly—often daily—visits to the retailer’s site to shop for products I want to feature in my stories (or even treat myself to), I’ve become well-acquainted with their wardrobe basics. So well-acquainted, I might add, that I tend to pick favorites so I decided to put all my knowledge of the current best winter basics at Nordstrom to work in this roundup. To no surprise, they all happened to be the ones that come highly rated by Nordstrom shoppers, proving that they really are quite versatile and—above all—affordable.

Based on my findings, I thought it would be silly not to share these popular pieces with you. You might even recognize a few of the T-shirts, sweaters, and jeans you see here since I also have the intel that many WWW readers have bought them, too. The order histories and amazing reviews don’t lie. These 30 basics are legit. But don’t just take my word for it—scroll through the below list to discover them all, and then click in to read the reviews and you might just find yourself so inclined to place an order, too. Happy scrolling (and shopping)!
