Bring On the Transitional Weather—29 Perfectly Chic Pieces From Nordstrom to Wear Straight Through Fall

I'm a person who loves cooler weather, so there is nothing more exciting to me than that transition from late summer to fall. For many, the switch has its challenges when it comes to their outfits, so I am here to put some standout pieces on your radar to help you ease into the new season in style. My retailer of choice for this assignment? The ever-versatile selection at Nordstrom.
What I look for when shopping for summer-to-fall transitional styles boils down to a few things: The pieces can be layered so you can add or remove them depending on the current forecast, the pieces can fit a variety of occasions, and most of all, the pieces are elevated and effortless to give you a boost of confidence whenever you wear them.
Below are 29 perfectly chic pieces that I highly recommend wearing straight through fall, including tops, sweaters, dresses, outerwear, shoes, and more. Many are even on sale. You're welcome.
