What to Buy From Nordstrom If Your Vibe Is "Rich" But Your Budget Is $100
It's no longer a secret that the key to looking rich has actually very little to do with how much you spend. Rather, your sense of style and the way you put yourself together hold so much more power and can yield an expensive-looking aesthetic at truly any budget. If you ask me, the fastest route to achieving that goal is by sticking to simple, elevated basics that look high-quality and timeless but with a forward touch. From sweaters to skirts to belts, there are so many pieces out there that feel both forever and right now, and if this all starting to sound like word vomit, I’ll get straight to the point. I recently combed through Nordstrom to bring you the absolute best, rich-feeling pieces under $100 this season, and my findings were even better than I was expecting. To see what made the cut, simply keep scrolling.
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
