I overheard a colleague jokingly refer to Zara and Nordstrom as Zordy, in regards to the duo's popularity among fashion people, and it immediately dawned on me that I have a Zordy closet. It's no surprise, really, as the two retailers are my first stops when shopping, thanks to their impeccable curation of classic and trendy pieces every season. I know I am not alone in this—the shopping-related texts in my group chat with other fashion friends is proof.
For fall 2025, I rounded up the Zara and Nordstrom standouts that I have my eye on at the moment. Think chic outerwear, cashmere sweaters, cool jeans, brown dresses, effortless boots, luxe suede pieces, and more. Keep scrolling to shop 31 stylish fall finds that come together to create a solid rotation of chic outfits that are guaranteed to get you compliments. Speaking of which, I sprinkled in three stellar fall outfit ideas to get you inspired.
