As much as I love to try my hand at one of the many trends we write about atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , I'm an elevated-basics girl through and through. I live for straight-leg denim, crisp white T-shirts, and slouchy blazers that transform any outfit into something a bit more special. It's not boring—it's just classic. If you're looking to upgrade your wardrobe to a no-think chic capsule collection, you've come to the right place.
Although elevated basics rely heavily on their simple colors and timeless silhouettes for wearability, there's nothing wrong with pairing them with trend-forward pieces to make them feel a bit fresher. Now that fall is around the corner and I'm embracing the chillier weather, I'm itching to wear things that are beyond effortless. Thankfully, Nordstrom came in clutch, delivering tons of expensive-looking style inspiration I was able to add to my closet without having to pay designer-name prices.
Ahead are all of the Nordstrom elevated basics I'm eyeing to wear this season and beyond.
No words necessary—this item is one of the first things you should buy if you want to create a long-lasting capsule wardrobe.
