29 Cheap-But-Chic Nordstrom Buys That Will Overhaul Your Wardrobe
Do you ever feel like, no matter what you do, your clothes and accessories just aren't working for you? It could be that you weren't prepared for the new season or your style changed or the trends changed or all of the above or none of the above! Regardless of the reason, I think we can all agree that it's a feeling that makes one dread getting dressed in the morning. With as much as we have going on in our days, nobody has time for that.
On that note, with the new season on the horizon, I recently did a closet cleanse and now feel like I have space in my wardrobe for new pieces that will make my everyday outfits feel upgraded and a lot more current. I turned to our beloved Nordstrom to find 29 affordable items that fit the bill, from basics to trendy pieces. In other words, wardrobe rut begone! If you're ready to shop my edit of cheap-but-chic buys that will upgrade your wardrobe on a budget, just keep scrolling.

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
