Nordstrom is one of my preferred retailers for finding elevated pieces that can easily be labeled as chic. In fact, it’s the affordable selection (those items priced under $100) that consistently catches my attention due to their appearance of luxury, attributed to innovative design elements and contemporary cuts. With that in mind, I have put together a collection of Nordstrom items under $100 that well-dressed fashion enthusiasts, including my colleagues at WWW, would consider chic for this season.
