It’s almost time to say farewell to sweet, sun-filled days. As I prepare for the shift in seasons, I’ll be boxing up all my warm-weather wardrobe staples like breezy summer dresses, barely-there tank tops, and gauzy linen shorts to make room in my closet for the best fall fashion trends.
Among the countless styles that graced the Fall 2024 runways, a few took center stage in particular. Some designers made a strong case for capsule wardrobe staples like faux fur coats, tailored separates, and leather outerwear. Others experimented with more playful designs like fringed fabrics, punchy leopard prints, and rich pops of burgundy.
Eager to get my hands on every single one of these fall trends, I turned to Nordstrom to see what I could find. To no surprise, the fashion-forward retailer has everything you would want to build our your fall fashion wardrobe. Plus, Nordstrom is currently hosting its annual Anniversary Sale alongside its regular sale, so there are a ton of markdowns to enjoy. I discovered a faux fur jacket priced at $80, a leopard print midi dress that’s 40 percent off, and a fringed skirt that’s under $100.
Find all that and more ahead. If you see something you like, act quickly. Nordstrom’s Anniversary sale ends on Sunday, August 4.
Frisky Fringe
What's the best way to make a statement on the runway? Bottega Veneta, Stella McCartney, and Dior will say that the answer has something to do with fringe.
Whimsical fringed clothing dominated the Spring 2024 runways, and it’s back for another spin around the trend cycle. Bottega Veneta, Stella McCartney, and Dior embraced the trend with floor-sweeping skirts, tassel-adorned jackets, and sequined dresses. If these looks pique your interest, keep scrolling for Nordstrom’s selection of similar styles. All Saints and Sam Edelman have a selection of edgy fringed jackets, while Vince Camuto, Ganni, Karen Kane, and Steve Madden interpret the trend through dresses and skirts.
Corporate-Inspired Separates
LaQuan Smith, Schiaparelli, and Sergio Hudson took the "she means business" approach during their Fall 2024 runway shows.
LaQuan Smith, Schiaparelli, and Sergio Hudson conveyed a corporate message by way of slightly padded blazers, structured skirts, and floor-sweeping tailored trousers. Implement these looks into your workwear collection with streamlined pieces from Nordstrom's in-house lines, & Other Stories, and Veronica Beard. If you really want to zhuzh up your office-friendly wardrobe, opt for more colorful versions from Open Edit, Mango, and Reiss.
Loud Leopard Prints
Why not add a bit of leopard print to your fall wardrobe? Alaia, Celine, and Marni will tell you to do so.
Leopard prints were a favorite amongst labels like Alaïa, Celine, and Marni—each showcased their creative take. For those of you who want to infuse your fall wardrobe with bold statement pieces, you can do just that with fierce options from Topshop, Avec Les Filles, and Favorite Daughter. If you prefer to dip into the trend, opt for subtler pieces in the form of accessories from Coach, Kate Spade, and Stuart Weitzman.
High-Toned Leather Outerwear
Hermès, Victoria Beckham, and Isabel Marant celebrated the perennial appeal of leather outerwear.
Leather outerwear always enters the fashion chat during the fall season, and this time around is no different. Hermès, Victoria Beckham, and Isabel Marant expressed their fondness for the timeless style in various silhouettes, from cropped versions to A-line trench coats. Take a peek below for an assortment that’s just as enticing. Discover knee-length trench coats at BCBGMAXAZRIA and Open Edit, billowing bomber jackets at Free People and Sam Edelman, and sculpted moto jackets at Levi's and Treasure & Bond.
Shades of Rich Burgundy
Ferragamo, Gucci, and Saint Laurent encourage you to dive into shades of deep red.
According to Ferragamo, Gucci, and Saint Laurent, the red color trend isn’t slowing down anytime soon. These legacy fashion houses championed the fiery color by showcasing all types of designs drenched in deep burgundy—from figure-hugging pencil skirts to chunky loafers. Look toward Reformation, Ralph Lauren, and Dries Van Noten for the red wine shade. Sam Edelman, Tory Burch, and Madewell offer bags and shoes of the same color palette.
Fuzzy Faux Fur
Faux fur coats were practically everywhere during the Fall 2024 runway season. Miu Miu, Saint Laurent, and Loewe presented some of the most opulent styles.
