I'd describe a "modern classic" as a special piece of clothing that isn't fleeting and will remain relevant and a constant in your wardrobe for years. And given that Nordstrom stocks a wide array of items—including a range of basics—the retailer is often a go-to to uncover pieces that fall in the category of modern classics.

Below you'll find a list of the current Nordstrom items that I think could have the potential to become new modern classics in your wardrobe because of their highly versatile and werable nature. I'm referring to items like striped shirting, relaxed knits, denim skirts, and so on. Keep scrolling for more.
