Yes, elegance is trending, but does looking “pleasingly graceful and stylish” (the Oxford definition of elegant) ever really go out of style? I think not. We usually equate elegance with luxury: heritage design houses, perfectly coiffed ladies who lunch in Chanel, Grace Kelly! However, elegance doesn’t have to mean unattainable. When I’m looking for items to help me achieve that sort of look, I don’t only go to brands that require me to check my credit card balance before clicking “add to cart.” A surprising brand that I’ve had some great luck with in this department is Nordstrom’s Open Edit.
I recently spent an afternoon looking at what Open Edit has to offer and found a dozen under-$75 top-of-the-chart hits. I’m talking a sleeveless ’90s column dress, a sheer mesh midi skirt, and a Johnny-collar sweater in this season’s chocolate brown. So if holiday shopping has your purse strings feeling a little tight, I’ve got you covered. A roundup of affordable yet elegant buys you can feel good about purchasing is ahead.
Such a good "throw it on and look chic" sweater.
Diversify your black blazers with this very good beige one.
Very 1990s Calvin Klein.
Wear these with an oversize cream sweater and you're good to go.
So sleek.
I love the drape of this button-up.
I would love to see this skirt paired with a white baby tee.
The above skirt with said baby tee and these shoes?!
A closet staple that stands out from the rest.
File under "tops that elevate my jeans."
Leopard heels are always a yes.
Streamlined workwear meets Y2K nostalgia.
