33 Rich-Looking Under-$100 Finds That Deserve Their Own Highlight Reel

At this point, it's a part of my job description to stay up to date on all things Nordstrom. I don't go a business day (weekends, too, if I'm being honest) without refreshing Nordy's under-$100 section. The minute I spot a chic and affordable find, I send it to our editor group chat to discuss. Think $60 lace-trim shorts that look very similar to a viral pair (ahem, the Dôen Iona Lace Trim Silk Satin Shorts), a restock on the thong kitten heels fashion people couldn't get enough of last year, new Adidas Tokyo colorways (I'm loving the latest black-and-white style)… The list goes on.

Luckily, I keep track of all my favorite Nordstrom under-$100 finds. RN, it's basically my spring 2026 wish list. From Caroline Bessette-Kennedy tortoise headbands to satin trousers, structured cardigans, balloon jeans, and quarter-zip sweaters, I'm prepping for the chicest spring yet. Below, see my affordable spring 2026 wish list. Shop standout under-$100 Nordstrom finds, It girl–coded new arrivals, and fashion-people staples. (You can never go wrong with a crisp button-down and a pair of Levi's.) Ahead, 33 chic under-$100 Nordstrom finds.
