I’ve decided that it’s time to perfect my winter basics. On my list are a long-sleeve T-shirt, a cropped trench coat, a casual blazer, straight-leg jeans, suede booties, and… Well, that’s all I can recall for now. My motivation is certainly there, but my budget isn’t. Thankfully, Nordstrom just dropped its new markdowns, and it’s exceeded my needs. Even my most trusted intimates are on sale (ahem, the Wacoal Comfort First Underwire T-Shirt Bra, my 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-brown 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.
