I'm a Shopping Director—These 40 New Nordstrom Fall Items Get a Yes (Cool and Chic)

A scarf coat will make any ensemble feel even chicer. You could literally wear one with sweats and look polished, but to stay on the elegant train, consider styling this Barbour coat with a gorgeous plaid skirt and knee-high boots. A suede shoulder bag completes the look.

I literally won't stop talking about these Nordstrom loafers, and I've included them in many of my fall stories. The ruched toe is relevant, and the entire silhouette looks very expensive (despite ringing in under $100). The brown suede is lovely to try with trousers and a sweater. Bonus point if you opt for a lace-trim top or dress to poke out underneath the knit.

Argyle is having a huge moment. This dreamy Reformation cardigan is preppy yet cool, especially styled with tried-and-true Levi's jeans and a no-fail trench coat. Clogs are also having a moment and would work flawlessly with this ensemble.

Here I am again, chatting about another pair of shoes from the Nordstrom label. Similar to the loafers above, these knee-high boots are stunning and premium looking. Show them off with a skirt. (Note the lace detail again!) Side note: Aside from this suede option, these boots come in brown and black leather.

Rag & Bone's Miramar jeans have a cult following. Many of my co-editors live in them because they're legit sweatpants that look like jeans. And yes, they actually look like jeans. This updated style with the drawstring waist is fun, and I'd pair them with an of-the-moment plaid shirt and retro-feeling sneakers.

I couldn't produce a fall shopping list without profiling low-profile (get it?) sneakers. This specific sneaker trend is the favorite among the fashion crowd. There is honestly a range of styles I'm into, including these metallic Adidas Tokyo Sneakers. Get them before they sell out!

As you've seen a few times already, fall 2025 is leaning heavily into checks and plaid prints. This Veronica Beard blazer is sharp for a workwear look. I paired it here with a gorgeous short-sleeve knit, editor-favorite trousers from Open Edit, and sleek slingbacks.

I keep coming back to this under-$200 coat when producing content because it looks luxe with that chocolate-brown hue and contrasting black trim. You could really wear this style over any of your fall looks, but I provided a versatile dress option here to wear with a belt and trendy sock booties.

I really hope this sweater isn't sold out by the time you're reading this. Rugby knits and shirts are becoming increasingly popular and have preppy vibes like the argyle sweater above. This $90 version comes in a few colors—solids included—and could be dressed up with trousers or down with jeans.

This Toteme tote is on many of our editors' wish lists for its classic yet modern shape. It's large enough to fit your daily essentials but not too big where it could become cumbersome.
