Many of us, myself included, enjoy reading product reviews before purchasing something. Because in reality, if others have less than desirable things to say about an item, said piece may not be the best fit. And one comment section that has very active reviewers? That's right—we're talking about those fellow Nordstrom shoppers.
On that note, after scrolling through a range of Nordstrom's new arrivals for some research, there was a smattering of under-$100 summer items that shoppers seem to be loving at the moment. Yep, meaning each of the said pieces has positive reviews with at least four stars. Intrigued? Keep scrolling to check out top-rated affordable summer staples. In addition, you'll also find an actual customer testimonial for each of the items below if that's of interest.
