The Nordstrom Brand Fashion Editors Secretly Shop for Trendy & Affordable Items

Nordstrom stocks hundreds of stellar brands. On the Nordstrom Made front (the retailer’s in-house labels), there’s actually one specific line that’s a go-to for many of the fashion editors on our team. The brand is honestly like our hidden little secret for finding some of the trendiest basics for $75 and under. I’m talking about Open Edit.
This brand launched last year and quickly became a favorite because of the consistent drops of affordable pieces that all have a forward twist. If we’re looking for cool knits that are highly versatile, yep, we find it in the Open Edit offering. What about those of-the-moment faux-leather pieces? Yep, those are there too. If you want to get in on the action or have already turned to this brand and need a bit of shopping inspiration, keep scrolling for some of the pieces we’re loving at the moment.
