I’m a Senior Shopping Editor—These Elevated Yet Affordable Nordstrom and Old Navy Fall Picks Have My Attention

The current state of the economy has many, including myself, doubling down on our fashion budgets, so affordable finds that don’t sacrifice style are always welcome. Two retailers that have my full attention right now when it comes to elevated yet budget-friendly fashion are Nordstrom and Old Navy. I recently perused the site with this in mind and came up with a chic array of options that I am eyeing for fall 2025.

Below, I share 22 Nordstrom and Old Navy finds, including everything from sweaters to blazers to jeans, dresses, and shoes. You’ll also notice a lot of brown and suede pieces—two of the biggest trends of the moment. Most of my top picks come in at under $100, but you wouldn’t know it, because each piece has an elevated, wealthy feel.
