I honestly can't believe I'm writing the word fall, but here we are. Yes, fall fashion is officially top of mind as those pre-fall pieces are starting to trickle into the stores. The Nordstrom new-arrivals section is filled with transitional pieces like lightweight knits and versatile tops that will be perfect as the temperatures start to dip. But here's the thing: Some of the best stuff at Nordstrom often goes quickly (you can also see how many fellow customers are viewing each product), so if there's something you're eyeing, there's a chance it won't be in stock by the time the first official day of fall hits.
Below, you'll find a list of pre-fall Nordstrom items that I don't think will fully be in stock by September 1, because of their already popular nature (re: sizes starting to sell out) and overall chicness. Keep scrolling to shop cool pieces—many of which you could wear now as well.
This brown sweater is so versatile.
Perfect jeans.
A lightweight cardigan is essential for transitional weather.
A poplin skirt can work for early fall with loafers or flats.
