No closet is complete without having a good mix of everyday essentials. Whether thats the perfect t-shirt, sandals for the season, every day jeans, or even undergarments to pair back to said perfect t-shirt. That’s why when I’m looking for basics that can take my wardrobe one step further, I always look to Nordstrom. Nordstrom is a key shopping destination for affordable basics. Every item featured in today’s post is under $100! Keep reading to get the list of 8 basics you can build your wardrobe with from Nordstrom.

Step out in this breezy, comfortable dress with a flowy silhouette perfect for layering and changing up your everyday style. The dress features adjustable straps, pockets, and I love the gauze fabric to give a little more detail to a essential summer dress. Fits TTS.

Linen Blend Trouser Shorts
I’m so happy to see trouser shorts on the rise again. I’ve always been a fan of non-denim shorts that can immediately elevate an outfit. Relaxed yet polished defines these trouser shorts cut from a lightweight linen blend and offered in eye-catching or neutral hues. Keep it casual with a tank and sandals like I styled, or dress up with a blazer and heels for date night. Super comfortable and fit TTS.

Slide Sandals
These under $70 sandals look way more expensive than they are! A true spring/summer staple. I love the interlocking straps white create visual intrigue on a stylish leather slide sandal fashioned with a contemporary square toe. The soles are padded which provide enough comfort to wear all day. Fit TTS.

Sunglasses
I’ve actually had my eye on these sunglasses for a little while and thought they would be so good for spring/summer. A slight departure from my go-to blacks sunglasses styles, but I love the pop and can’t wait to style them more this season.

Triangle Convertible Strap Bralette
These are my favorite t-shirt bras (and have been for years) but I never realized they have a V-neck convertible option. This buttery-soft convertible bralette is designed without wires, elastic or seams for a completely smooth fit that’s invisible under clothing. Fit TTS

Rib Tank

Long Sleeve Layering Tee
Ok wow. These long sleeve tees are SO good. They are tissue light, so yes you can wear them in spring, and they are incredibly soft. For casual days pair with jeans and sneakers, but you can easily layer (hence the name) under your favorite blazer or jacket for the office or date night. FYI I did buy the white but ended up returning because it was a little sheer which made the white feel dingy. But highly recommend the black & grey! Fit TTS.

Wide Leg Jeans
I’ve always been a big fan of Madewell denim and this pair is another to be added to the list. The wide leg styling is a fresh take on the 90s fit without being too over-styled. I will say they run slightly small. I took my true size and they are definitely more fitted, so I plan to exchange for 1 size up to get that cool relaxed style fit. Overall though, I love these jeans.
