42 Fall-Ready Finds Hiding in Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale
Crisp weather will be here before you know it.
Here’s a secret about me: Fall is my favorite season. I love spring and summer, but fall has my heart. Because it’s never too early to start thinking about the upcoming season, I scoured through thousands of deals in Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale for the best autumnal finds.
If you missed it, Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale runs until August 4. Products on sale include vacation essentials perfect for your next beach trip, travel must-buys that will keep you looking stylish at the airport, enough luxe loungewear to get you through the winter, and a selection of cute shoes on sale. But if you're here for fall dressing, you're in the right place.
This list of crisp-weather essentials includes everything you need to stock up on, from chunky sweaters to every type of boot you can wear all season long. I also found the perfect pairs of jeans in the most classic rises and washes and enough cashmere scarves to keep you warm in the office or on the first truly chilly day of the year (which always seems to sneak up on you). And, if you're ready to swap out your sandals for something else next season, I even included a trendy pair of sneakers.

Fall tops can be difficult to find—some days are hot enough for a T-shirt or tank top, while others leave you shivering. Opting for lightweight sweaters like the ones on this list is an easy transitional dressing hack.
Available in a few colors, this slouchy Free People sweater is perfect for those in between days. Style it with a pair of white jeans now and trousers later.

This is the perfect blend between a trench and a raincoat. Both are wardrobe staples, and this one has the makings of one.
An oversized blazer is a fall and winter office outfit essential. This one comes in a few color combinations.
Another day, another leather jacket I love. This one has a shearling lining for added warmth.

Best Fall Shoes Deals at Nordstrom
Fall weather is often defined by being wet, slushy, and hard on exposed toes. That's why I'm using the changing season as the perfect excuse to upgrade the black boots in my collection. This time around that means picking up knee-high boots and rain boots. I also have my eye on a new pair of black sneakers I can wear to the office and chunky loafers that will keep me comfortable.
If you want a pair of waterproof boots that don't look like rain boots, consider this pair from Vince Camuto.
Swap your white sneakers for black sneakers this fall. This chunky pair is perfect for the office.
Hunter's best-in-class rain boots are on rare sale right now—snag them to stay dry.
Fall is boots season. Get ahead of the curve with this pair from Vine Camuto. It comes in wide-calfed sizes, too.
Frye's harness boots are going viral online right now. The coolest girls on the internet are wearing them with sweet-feeling skirts and dresses.
There are so many foldover style boots on the market right now, but this pair is one of my favorites.
I can't help but picture this pair of Dr. Martens with a pair of chunky cozy socks and black cropped trousers.
Ballet flats are a year-round essential, but this pair from Schutz has a higher vamp (so it has more coverage on the toe), so you won't have too much skin exposed in the colder months.
Remember those chunky loafers I mentioned? These are them—a best-selling pair from Franco Sarto on sale for less than $100.
It doesn't get more classic than these Chelsea boots from Nordstrom's own brand.
Best Fall Accessories Deals at Nordstrom
Dressing for fall isn't just about bundling up in sweaters—the make-or-break moments are often made by the cutest accessories. These include warm socks and scarves that add just the right amount of warmth on in-between weather days.
Keeping warm starts in the details. This cashmere scarf from Nordstrom's own brand is lightweight and cozy.
How cute would these socks look with a pair of chunky loafers. Hint: There are plenty of cute options on this list (keep scrolling).
Found: The coziest, fuzziest socks on the internet. This set is perfect for lounging around the house.
Or, try this striped one from Vince. Follow Kaia Gerber's lead and style navy and black together this fall.
Thanks to its leather detailing, this is by far the chicest baseball cap on the market—it looks like it could be worn by a cast member on Succession.
