I Styled 7 Transitional Fall Outfits From Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale
Here's every single piece you need to recreate the best street-style looks of the season.
As fall weather approaches, it's important to master the art of transitional summertime attire before fully transitioning to sweaters and boots. But this doesn't mean abandoning warm-weather staples altogether—a few easy wardrobe additions can easily get the job done.
Everything you need is secretly hiding in Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale—which wraps up on August 4—and I found enough early-fall finds to make seven chic looks that will become your default best autumnal outfits—all at a discount.
These looks use your summer essentials, like tank tops and linen pants, as a base, but with the addition of a few fall staples. Think leather jackets, a perfect pair of jeans, and the types of boots that warrant a dedicated shoe closet.
To get you excited for fall, I've pinned the best street style inspiration and scoured through thousands of products to find the exact pieces you need to recreate the look.
Jean With a Bold Button-Down
If you have a printed button-down shirt in your closet, team it with a pair of blue jeans and a little top-handle bag to instantly make it more fall-appropriate.
A Double-Denim Ensemble
When Sydney Sweeney and Beyonce both co-sign a trend, you know it has to be worth investing in. That's how I feel about Canadian Tuxedos this fall.
An All-White Suit
Don't worry about wearing white after Labor Day—with a suit this chic, no one will check the date. These white trousers or the coordinating blazer can be worn together or as separates for the perfect end-of-summer work outfit.
A Denim Dress With a Leather Bomber Jacket
I love how an easy denim dress looks when I mix in a cropped leather jacket over the top. Combat boots are a perfect fall footwear option here.
White Linen Pants With a Knit Polo
Upgrade your linen outfit game for fall by styling your white linen pants with a preppy knitted blue polo shirt, paired with your freshest white sneakers, If you like the look and feel of linen, there are so many other linen pieces on sale at Nordstrom right now.
A White Tank and a Floral Skirt
This classic summer combo can be adapted for fall with a pair of black boots in lieu of your warm-weather sandals. A chunky designer belt adds some edge.
A Mini Dress and Knee-High Boots
A mini dress is one of my favorite summer pieces because it's easy to style. While I love to wear my mini with sneakers in the summer, black knee-high boots are an easy swap.
