When a friend or loved one comes to me to ask for some advice on revamping their current wardrobe, I always point them in the direction of elevated basics. These easy pieces are always a surefire way to bring any outfit to the next level, so they are a great place to start. At the end of the day, I am all about transforming closets into a chicer version of themselves—especially if it can be done in a chic, straightforward way.

With a little bit of contemplation and a year-round approach at the top of my mind, I narrowed down five simple yet striking basics to shop at the moment and wear forever. These range from transformative blazers to effortless black shoes, classic jeans, and more. Ahead, I break down each basic with some visual outfit inspiration on how to wear each piece, plus a solid roundup of Nordstrom finds that fit the bill perfectly.
