I’ve decided that this winter, it’s time to perfect my basics. On my list: a long-sleeve T-shirt, a cropped trench coat, a casual blazer, straight-leg jeans, suede booties, and well, that’s all I recall for now. My motivation is certainly there, but my budget isn’t. Thankfully, Nordstrom just dropped its new markdowns, and spoiler: it’s exceeded my needs. Even my most-trusted intimates are on sale (ahem, the Wacoal Comfort First Underwire T-shirt Bra, my all-time favorite bra). With big ambitions and a small budget, I’ve kept the price filter under-$75. This lets me focus on the true essentials for winter 2026, like a crewneck cardigan and chocolate-colored leggings.
With versatility and budget in mind, I’ve curated an edit of the best under-$75 basics from Nordstrom’s new markdowns. Scroll to find editor-loved Levi’s, Ugg winter essentials, and affordable Nordstrom basics from Open Edit, BP, and Caslon.
