I’m Tired of Shopping the Latest Trends, So I’m Checking Out These On-Sale Basics at Nordstrom Instead

Welcome to Black Friday weekend.

I don’t know about you, but I’m dealing with some mid-season winter trend fatigue. So, instead of shopping the most of-the-moment finds on sale at Nordstrom, I’m pivoting and shopping for the chicest basics in the retailer’s Black Friday sale instead.

Select styles will be marked down up to 60 percent, starting on Wednesday, November 19, and rolling into Wednesday, December 3. (That's two full weeks, for those keeping track.) Within the sale's assortment, you'll find everything in a reliable capsule wardrobe: sneakers, boots, work bags, cashmere sweaters, and trousers galore.

Ahead, I've pulled together the best of the best—high-quality basics you'll wear for years on end. And now, without further ado, I cordially invite you to shop Nordstrom's best Black Friday offerings, before they're gone.
