My Friend Is Spending $175 Max on Fall Clothes—I Suggested These Nordstrom Items

Oversize button-up shirts are trending hard at the moment. I told my friend that the silhouette is worth a try to bring a modern spin to a wardrobe.

I suggested these faux-leather trousers because they look so high-end and could be dressed up with a blouse and a blazer or down with a tee or knit.

Sweater-vests continue to be popular among the fashion crowd, and so are cable knits. So this pick felt like a no-brainer. It can be worn like this or over a long-sleeve tee or blouse.

To complete my edit, I recommended a pair of sunglasses with a light lens for an of-the-moment vibe.

So sweet.

The split hem gives these trousers a fresh feel.

A sweater polo is a great choice for the season.

Cozy and chic.

This color feels particualrly right now.

Can’t go wrong with Levi’s.

A shacket to toss over just about any fall look.

Gorgeous hue.

Sleek loafers for under $100.

A tailored vest is another key piece for the season.

And another strong oversize shirt option.

Incredibly versatile.

The longline silhouette gets another A+.

The neckline is nice here.

Fun stirrup leggings to wear with so many pieces.

Make that statement.

A square neckline is always chic.

Wide-leg jeans are here to stay.

Quilted jackets are entering the spotlight in an even greater way.

No-fail sunnies.

Sophisticated pleated trousers.

Pretty everyday bag.

This top looks great with the coordinating pants, but also works with jeans or skirts.

These boots are water resistant, too.

Bring texture to your look.

Darling cropped polo.

For all your layering needs.

Elevated lounge pants.

Such a fun jacket.
