Just My Opinion: I Think These Affordable Nordstrom Sale Items Look Designer

There are so many gems included in the Nordstrom limited-time sale. I highlighted a few on-sale standouts for you already, but I thought I'd take another scroll through the discounted offering to bring you an edit of the more affordable pieces ($100 and under) that look way more expensive than they are.
Below, you'll uncover the Nordstrom sale items that are priced at $100 and under but honestly look designer because of modern and forward design details and silhouettes. I'm referring to pieces like sharp tailoring, oversize knitwear, bold outerwear, and more.
Keep scrolling to check out chic affordable items from Nordstrom's Half-Yearly Sale, which ends on January 2.
