As a fashion editor, I know that I’m privy to the best up-and-coming brands before the rest of the world gets hip to them. However, I didn’t expect one of my all-time favorite under-the-radar brands to be hiding at Nordstrom. Meet Open Edit, the retailer’s affordable in-house label that has quietly become my go-to over the years.
Open Edit's offerings include mostly under-$100 elevated basics that you can wear to the office or on weekends. But the must-buy picks on this list don’t just end at Open Edit's clothing range—the brand also offers plenty of affordable sandals, heels, and more that you can easily incorporate into your rotation. Think of Open Edit as the easiest way to upgrade your summer work outfits for less.
