8 Brands I Shop From Nordstrom for an Elegant-Looking Wardrobe
Of all of the topics on the planet one that I know *almost* everything about it’s anything Nordstrom shopping-related. After all not only am I a shopping editor who covers everything Nordstrom from the best buys for spring, shopping out different trends, or rounding up the best affordable items and more but before my days as an editor I worked for Nordstrom as a stylist. So it’s safe to say that I know a thing or two when it comes to talking about Nordstrom.
This year I have been focused on making sure my wardrobe is as elegant as possible. Of course, on this journey, I have been shopping at Nordstrom nonstop to get as many elegant-looking pieces as possible and found that I keep returning to 8 brands in particular. These brands are a mix of affordable brands I shop monthly and some more luxury brands that I save for. After all the goal is looking elegant, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you need to spend a lot to get the look.
Keep scrolling to see which brands are my go-to when wanting to get an elevated, elegant piece for my closet.
