The Affordable Nordstrom Brand Editors Love Just Dropped Expensive-Looking Items
In reality, there are many brands at Nordstrom that the WWW fashion editors love. But there is one in-house label that's a unanimous front-runner because it stocks affordable items that look quite expensive. I'm referring to Open Edit.
The designs in the offering are also consistently trend-forward in modern cuts and of-the-moment colors and prints. Oh, and a fun fact: Nordstrom just dropped a smattering of Open Edit spring items.
Below you'll uncover a curation of the under-$100 elevated selects that are getting a yes from our team. Keep scrolling to check out beautiful dresses, strong tailoring silhouettes, and gorgeous shoes.
