As a fashion industry veteran of over 15 years, I am rarely impressed when it comes to affordable fashion beyond the obvious favorites like Zara, Mango, and H&M. So imagine my delight in finding a hidden gem with a plethora of stellar under-$100 finds at Nordstrom, one of my main go-tos for shopping. The brand? Open Edit. Every piece clearly reflects the most current trends, especially those that have more of an elevated, timeless feel, which is exactly why fashion people are shopping it more than ever.

I set out to round up my latest top Open Edit picks with some visual outfit inspiration to act as a styling guide for the season. Most can easily be mixed and matched to create a capsule wardrobe of sorts. Some of the standouts are linen pieces like drawstring pants and polished vests, of-the-moment heeled flip-flop sandals, and pretty skirts that are guaranteed to get compliments. Scroll on to discover them and shop the best of the best Open Edit pieces right now.
