4 Specific Items You Should Seriously Consider Buying From Nordstrom Rack

As you may well know, we love a great Nordstrom find over here at Who What Wear. But what's even more thrilling is finding said Nordstrom find considerably marked down, which is exactly what you'll get at the retailer's off-price sister store—Nordstrom Rack. While scouring through Nordstrom Rack may feel overwhelming (and not nearly as glamorous as shopping at Nordstrom), the wonderful part about it is you can find many designer brands, cool labels, and quality pieces at more accessible prices.
Below, I'm sharing four categories I highly recommend buying from the discounted retailer as well as plenty of shopping picks within those categories. These include elevated basics and designer items that you can wear year-round and don't ever need to pay full price for. No need to spend hours scouring the site—I've gathered all the add-to-cart-worthy items below that no one will believe you actually found at Nordstrom Rack.
Blazers
When it comes to classic blazers, Nordstrom Rack has a great variety of contemporary and designer options at reasonable prices. I'll always make a beeline for the blazers when I'm on its site or in its stores.
Shop blazers:
Cashmere Sweaters
You don't need to buy high-quality cashmere and merino wool sweaters at full price! While its inventory may vary, Nordstrom Rack always has a good selection of classic cashmere sweaters that will serve you year-round.
Shop sweaters:
Designer Sunglasses
You can score such great deals when it comes to designer sunglasses. Nordstrom Rack tends to carry a large variety of different silhouettes and designers, so it's the perfect place to invest in a luxury pair.
Shop sunglasses:
Sneakers
Before you buy your sneakers full price, head over to Nordstrom Rack's sneaker selection, where you can find discounted prices on all our favorite brands such as New Balance, Adidas, and Nike.
