Nordstrom Fall Capsule: We Styled 20 Perfect Items Into Endless Outfit Combos

There are a lot of stellar fall items to consider this season, including new trends and updated takes on classics. Nordstrom, in particular, is filled with these standout pieces. While there's a range of top-notch selects to consider, an edited group of items is of utmost interest because of their versatility—thus, the Nordstrom fall capsule wardrobe was born.

If you're not familiar with a capsule wardrobe, it's a mini wardrobe made up of versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched to create different outfits. I pulled 20 fall Nordstrom items that could become staples, highlighted in the chart below. I then asked my fellow editors to identify their favorites by selecting one item from each row to create their idea of the perfect fall outfit.

"I wear some version of a pair of jeans, a top, and flats nearly five times a week, and I love adding a little spice to the tried-and-true combo through on-trend accessories. This fall, I'm zeroing in on key pieces like a cool barn jacket and polished vanity-case bag to make my looks feel fresh and current for the season."

Associate Editor Nikki Chwatt's Outfit

"In my opinion, a chic fall outfit should typically start with a trench coat because it effortlessly elevates any look. While you can't go wrong pairing it with jeans, I prefer styling it with a turtleneck sweater and midi skirt for a chic Parisian feel. Mary Janes, a French favorite, make the most sense for footwear along with an on-trend east-west bag for the finishing touch."

Associate Editor Sierra Mayhew's Outfit

"Fall in New York is the weird time of year when the mornings and evenings tend to be brisk, but the middle of the day can get quite hot. Layers are key. I think this is the perfect look for fall because you can remove layers to cool off and even add a T-shirt underneath for more flexibility."

Shopping Director Bobby Schuessler's Outfit

A, E, L, P, Q

"I love a layered look for fall, so this is one outfit formula I'm recommending to my friends—a blazer over a dress, a knit tied around the shoulders, and chic boots and accessories to finish off the look."

Shopping Updates Editor Jennifer Camp Forbes's Outfit

B, H, I, N, T

"Fall is my favorite time of the year—not only because of my love of cool, crisp air but also because of my appreciation for chic layered looks. With that in mind, this casual denim take is likely going to become my go-to outfit formula for the season, incorporating classic, elevated basics like a striped button-down, a simple leather bag, and straight-leg jeans alongside of-the-moment pieces like the barn coat and two-tone loafers."

Senior Editor Allyson Payer's Outfit

B, F, I, N, Q

"A barn jacket is at the top of my fall wish list, and more often than not, I'll be wearing it with jeans. The loafers and sunglasses dress the outfit up a bit. I live in the South, and this is the perfect outfit for the somewhat mild fall climate here."
