5 Chic Nordstrom Looks Under $450

Sure, the idea of a personal stylist seems great to take the guesswork out of dressing. But actually, there’s no need to shell out coins for one because, hey, you have me. As the shopping director at Who What Wear, I curate edits of fashionable pieces that I think you, dear readers, will enjoy. I also provide on-trend yet easy outfit ideas that, when tried, could make it seem to your friends like you hired a personal stylist. And that’s what’s coming your way below.

I specifically turned to Nordstrom (a retailer we all know and love) to curate stylish outfit ideas that are relevant for the season. Oh, and fun fact, each entire ensemble rings in under $450—with many of the individual pieces under $100. You’ll spot everything from a cool yet polished look featuring the sweater of the moment (like the above!) to a party outfit idea for any event you have coming up. Oh, and I love faux-fur items right now, so you’ll find plenty. Keep scrolling for more.

The elevated basic of 2026 is the quarter-zip sweater. It’s cool, tasteful, and chic. I’d style one similarly to the above with wide-leg trousers and loafers. Note, I also like a white tee underneath—especially if you get a slightly larger style to see the pop of white at the bottom of the sweater.

A monochromatic look is always chic—like the cream sweater and satin skirt here. The black lace-trim cami underneath the sweater adds contrast with the coordinating accessories.

I adore a faux-fur moment this year, particularly styled with dark-wash jeans (the key denim wash right now). For shoes, go for a simple pair of flats (with no extra bows or details).

This collarless jacket is elegant with the pleats in the back. A pair of sleek flares, heels, and a fun faux-fur shawl for texture works perfectly together.

You can’t go wrong with a statement coat for a well-styled look with tailored jeans, a mock-neck top, and cool accessories.
