A chic designer handbag or a pair of on-trend shoes are great ways to ensure that your summer outfit feels high-end, but I think it's even more impressive when you can build a rich-looking fit using only under-$100 basics. The key is to prioritize quietly luxurious finds that feel forward yet timeless. Luckily, Nordstrom has you covered.
Sure, Nordstrom offers the latest designer summer trends, but I'd argue the retailer's affordable offerings are what really make it a fashion gold mine. To prove it to you, I tracked down affordable Nordstrom pieces that exude luxurious energy for your summer wardrobe for less than $100. From celebrity-favorite sneakers to linen separates and pretty summer dresses, the finds on this list all rival high-end options.
