10 Nordstrom Wardrobe Staples You'll Wear on Repeat This Fall

Miah Water Resistant Chelsea Lug Boot ($60, originally $100)

You'll be surprised by how much use you can get out of a pair of classic Chelsea-style boots. The lug sole adds a little '90s-era edge — not to mention, extra traction — while the water-resistant material is perfect for rainy days.

Open Edit Blousson Sweater ($70)

When you want to wear a comfy sweater without looking like you're drowning in knitted fabric, this slightly cropped and subtle balloon-sleeved sweater will do the job. Throw it on with a pair of high-waisted cords or denim for a chic and cozy look.

Nordstrom Gathered Popover Top ($90)

The silky pleated material of this blouse drapes beautifully, and the colors — which also include black, mauve, and ivory — couldn't be prettier. It's the type of top that can carry you through a day of meetings and hold up for dinner and drinks.

Free People Frankie Cable Cotton Sweater ($98)

Pay homage to the season of fallen leaves, pumpkin spice lattes, and a drop in the temperature with a chunky, oversize sweater like this option from Free People. A modern twist on a classic fisherman sweater, we're all about the balloon sleeves and blown-up scale of the cable-knit pattern.

Dolce Vita Reyes Mary Jane ($120)

We can't get enough of Mary Jane ballet flats, and this style from Dolce Vita is a new favorite. The square toe and slim buckle strap add sophistication while the adjustable strap and soft leather material score points for comfort.

V-Neck Cashmere Sweater VestMadewell ($128)

Whether you decide to wear it with a T-shirt or button-down blouse underneath, this sweater vest is a layering essential for fall, and even winter. The slightly slouchy style and warm cashmere keep it comfortable but polished, and the sleeveless design fits beautifully under a fitted blazer.

Madewell Emmett Patch Pocket Wide Leg Jeans ($138)

These high-waisted, wide-leg jeans are perfect for anyone looking for an on-trend style that can also stand the test of time. They're made from a stretchy material that helps make the high waist comfortable and the legs aren't overly baggy. Our editor tested them out and says that they "feel like shapewear" — in the best way. For more details, read this Madewell Emmett Patch Pocket Wide Leg Jeans review.

Editor quote: "The material is mostly cotton with a smidge of recycled polyester and elastane, so they feel especially soft and stretchy. The top of the jeans hit just above my belly button and almost feel like shapewear. As a mom of two, I prefer high-waisted jeans that offer plenty of belly support without feeling like I'm counting down the minutes until I can unbutton them. They mold to my curves and I can squat, bend over, and run around all day without the dreaded droopiness that sometimes happens towards the end of the day." — AE

Birkenstock Boston Genuine Shearling Lined Clog ($170)

A coveted shoe, Birkenstock's Boston Clog is known to sell out. Even our editor can attest to its comfort and versatility — just read her detailed Birkenstock Boston Clog review to know the hype is real. So what could make this beloved clog even better? Shearling lining, of course. Soft and cozy, you can wear them barefoot or double the warmth and pair them with cute socks.

Sam Edelman Sylvia Knee High Boot ($200-$250)

Nothing makes us root harder for a skinny jean revival like a sleek and sexy pair of knee-high boots. Pair these suede beauties with all your skirts and dresses to make them fall-ready. You can choose from eight different colors in suede and leather.

Rag & Bone Leyton Corduroy Straight Leg Pants ($278)

Made from a soft cotton-blend corduroy, these pants are the perfect denim alternative for fall. They have a medium to lightweight feel, so they aren't stiff, and are comfortable and easy to wear. The slightly oversize cut that tapers ever so slightly at the ankle is a fresh take if you already own slim-cut or flared versions.
