+When using a `<nav>`-based navigation, be sure to include `.nav-item` on the anchors.
+
+{% example html %}
+<nav class="nav nav-pills nav-fill">
+ <a class="nav-item nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>
+ <a class="nav-item nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
+ <a class="nav-item nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
+ <a class="nav-item nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
+</nav>
+{% endexample %}
+
For equal-width elements, use `.nav-justified`. All horizontal space will be occupied by nav links, but unlike the `.nav-fill` above, every nav item will be the same width.

+Similar to the `.nav-fill` example using a `<nav>`-based navigation, be sure to include `.nav-item` on the anchors.

+ <a class="nav-item nav-link" href="#">Link</a>

## Working with flex utilities
If you need responsive nav variations, consider using a series of [flexbox utilities]({{ site.baseurl }}/utilities/flexbox/). While more verbose, these utilities offer greater customization across responsive breakpoints. In the example below, our nav will be stacked on the lowest breakpoint, then adapt to a horizontal layout that fills the available width starting from the small breakpoint.
