I Tried On the 20 Best Basics at Nordstrom—These Are the Ones I Bought
Let me preface this by saying I'm not a big fan of dressing rooms. The lighting is horrendous, I overheat, and the pressure of the store attendant asking me for the fifth time if "everything is fitting okay" is enough to make me swear off the experience altogether. That's why when I volunteered to hop on the 1 train all the way up to Nordstrom's new store in Columbus Circle to try on a whole bunch of separates, even I was confused.
However, suffice it to say, no one overheated, the clothes were cute, and I was only mildly stressed out after the whole thing was over. More to the point, the purpose of this endeavor was to unearth the best basics at Nordstrom right now. Because it's almost the New Year, it's a glorious time to take inventory of what essentials your closet is lacking so you can start 2020 on the right foot.
Ahead, see my dressing room snaps of 20 standout basics I can vouch for, and if any of them could be of use in your own life, add to cart.
This turtleneck was wildly soft, flattering, and the perfect amount of oversize. The jeans? Can't beat the Wedgie fit by Levi's—truly.I have way too many basic button-down shirts, which is why I went for this ruffled iteration instead. It looked quite cute with these wide-leg slacks as well.Remember the turtleneck and plaid trousers from before? Toss this Levi's jacket on top, and you've got a cool, casual look you'll wear all the darn time.Anyone who spends time with me knows how much I Iove wearing white-on-white. This green jacket helps translate the aesthetic to colder weather.When I saw this fleece, I made an audible "eep!" sound because it's so cozy but also feels polished. I'll be wearing it with a striped tee and camel-colored trousers.Confession: I didn't buy this coat, because I still haven't bought my mom a Christmas present, and it's just not in the budget. But if you can swing it, buy it. It's beautiful and made even this simple tee-and-jeans combination look incredibly chic. Plus, it's really comfortable.Not sure if you need another black T-shirt, but if you do, make it this bad boy right here.The winter version of a perfect little black dress. I like how this one has buttons up the neck plus slits and a removable waist tie. Versatility, folks.As I mentioned before, I wear white year-round, and these stiff corduroy pants are the perfect wintry approach to the light hue. A soft sweater swung around the shoulders is one of my go-to styling tricks—steal it for yourself.I didn't expect to love this sweater as much as I did. It's not scratchy, the color is very pretty, and it drapes my body nicely. Also, it's under $100.

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
