Nordstrom Is Having a Massive Fall Fashion Sale—Here’s What to Shop

4 min read

There’s a subtle coolness in the air and a satisfying crunch of leaves underfoot that signal it’s time to start transitioning out of our summer wardrobes. To make the shift into autumn a little smoother, Nordstrom is hosting a major seasonal savings event, making it easy to fill the gaps in your closet or invest in fresh pieces that will make you look forward to getting dressed for even the shorter days ahead.

SHOP NORDSTROM’S FALL FASHION DEALS

Now through September 23, the retailer is offering up to 25 percent off thousands of wardrobe essentials, from sharp outerwear and coveted denim to sleek leather boots and designer handbags from brands like Frame, AllSaints, Tory Burch, and Stuart Weitzman. There are more than 47,000 deals, to be exact, across nearly every category, and we parsed through them to bring you the highlights—from this season’s biggest trends to the editor-approved staples we reach for year after year. Scroll on for all the details, and be sure to check out the sale’s smaller—but still worthwhile—selection of beauty deals, which are discounted by up to 15 percent off, before the event ends next week.

If you’ve been waiting for a good excuse to upgrade your handbag collection, well, here it is. Right now, you can score a range of designer bags from brands like Tory Burch and Coach for a fraction of the cost. After all, the right bag can make every fall outfit, so don’t hesitate to add the perfect finishing touch to your cart below.

Peak sweater weather is just around the corner. During Nordstrom’s fall sale, you can save on everything from a vibrant red crewneck by Reiss to a preppy-cool striped cashmere knit from Reformation. Already looking ahead to winter? Joe’s sophisticated Fair Isle turtleneck is the kind of festive piece you’ll reach for all season long.

When it comes to your dress lineup, a dip in temperatures calls for a moodier palette and a little extra coverage to keep you comfortable even after the sun goes down. At the top of our list is Ramy Brook’s elegant plaid midi, along with Staud’s pretty pleated cobalt-blue number for a welcome dash of color. In the market for a fall wedding guest dress? Alice + Olivia’s dark floral ruffle-hem frock is a surefire pick for any cocktail or formal dress code.

A khaki trench is one of the most quintessential pieces of fall outerwear you can own. Mango’s sleek version is conveniently 25 percent off right now, as are other timeless staples like Favorite Daughter’s barn coat and Vince’s layer-with-everything cashmere-blend shawl coat, which you’ll be grateful to have on hand once subfreezing temperatures officially arrive. Fresh spins on the classics—like Paige’s vintage-inspired faux leather jacket, Ralph Lauren’s punchy yellow windbreaker (similar to the one Jennifer Lawrence was recently seen wearing), and Barbour’s waterproof funnel-neck raincoat—are equally worthy additions that feel both modern and timeless.

Don’t forget about your base layers, either. Nordstrom’s sale offers a prime opportunity to refresh your collection of staple white tees and button-downs while adding a few more playful pieces to the mix. Think: dainty prairie tops that pair effortlessly with wide-leg jeans and clogs, CBK-inspired boatneck tops, and long-sleeve styles with gathered details that put a fresh spin on the layering essential.

Whether your well-loved straight-leg jeans have seen better days or you’re looking to invest in a bolder silhouette this season, Nordstrom has all your denim bases covered. In the former category, consider our senior fashion commerce editor Dale Arden Chong’s go-to elongating pair from Madewell or a sleek yet relaxed dark-wash style from Agolde. We also found trending white jeans inspired by styles spotted on our favorite celebrities, embellished pairs, and even the viral trompe-l’œil sweatpant jeans from brands like AG, AllSaints, and Rag & Bone.

As polished and comfortable as some jeans can be, sometimes the occasion just calls for a great pair of trousers. Among the retailer’s discounted selection, we’re spotting a slew of office-friendly classics starting at under $100, easy pull-on styles that are surprisingly simple to dress up or down, and even trending kick-flare pants that add a literal flair to any outfit.

Though slightly more limited, Nordstrom’s discounted boot section still has stellar finds. Among them, we’ve got our sights set on Stuart Weitzman’s block-heeled knee-highs and Tory Burch’s western-inspired boots, done in an au courant snake print that’ll practically act as a neutral.

Some of this fall’s buzziest footwear trends, including dainty bow flats, jazz shoes, and burgundy sneakers, are ripe for the taking at the retailer. You’ll also find plenty of traditional staples worth stocking up on if that’s more your speed, including G.H. Bass’s glossy leather penny loafers.
