These Nordstrom Brands Are So Affordable—29 Expensive-Looking Styles I'd Buy

As a market editor, it's my job to know the ins and outs of the online retail world and share them with you. Lately, I've realized that many of my friends don't know that Nordstrom has its own in-house brands. Yes, you heard right. Not only are these brands chic and fashion-forward, but they're also surprisingly affordable. On one of my recent Nordstrom browsing sessions, I decided to curate a selection of pretty, expensive-looking styles from Nordstrom brands for under $150.
Ahead, you'll find the handpicked selection of Nordstrom-brand goods I'd buy right now from Open Edit, Halogen, and more. Keep scrolling to uncover everything from staple pieces like a luxe pair of black trousers to a stunning evening blouse with cutouts, and be sure to check out our Nordstrom promo codes.
