21 Chic Top-Rated Staples Monopolizing Nordstrom Right Now
If you were to rattle of a few of your go-to store, there’s a high chance Nordstrom would rank top on that list. And for good reason—the mega-retailer basically carries everything you need (basics, trend-forward items, and the like) all at a variety of price points. But what’s interesting is that many of the top-rated wardrobe staples (featured in the "sort by customer rating” filter) all actually happen to skew on the affordable end.
That’s right: From the perfect straight-leg jeans to wear-everywhere ankle boots, many of the fall essentials monopolizing Nordy are under $200. But rather than send you on a wild goose chase scrolling through pages and pages of said merch, we curated an assortment of the chicest bargain items right here. Keep scrolling to shop 21 affordable, must-haves with four stars or higher, and read some of the glowing customer reviews for each as well.
