The Nordstrom Sale Is Epic—I'm Telling My Friends About These Under-$100 Items

The Nordstrom summer sale is officially here to enjoy during Labor Day Weekend (and beyond). The discounts will actually be live through September 12! There are so many amazing items on offer during this sale event, and the fashion items under $100 are particularly noteworthy.
Below I rounded up the affordable items I spotted while scrolling through the sale that I think you'll love because they're chic and quite expensive-looking thanks to modern design details. I'm also sending many of the picks over to my group chat because my friends are always on the hunt for elevated pieces that skew on the more affordable side.
Keep scrolling to check out cool jackets, forward shirting, must-have denim, and so much more from the Nordstrom summer sale.
