This most recent New York Fashion Week was truly one for the books. From the runway shows to the street style, I couldn’t have been more enthralled to see this season’s hottest styles!
Here are four fall fashion trends as predicted by Neiman Marcus, and spotted at NYFW by yours truly.
Red Hot
There’s no question that red is the color of the season. Whether you go with an all out monochromatic look, or just a pop of this bright hue, if you don’t have any of it in your closet currently, you’ll want to consider giving it a go!
Quite Luxury
Sophia Richie made rich girl chic a total vibe, and honestly this trend is one I absolutely ship. You don’t have to spend a ton to look expensive, just style chic basic pieces together in an effortless way.
Mini Skirts
Mini skirts are one trend from the 90s that I didn’t think I’d love a comeback from as much as I do. The shorter the better, we love a micro mini! In my opinion, this trend is the most versitile, seeing as how you can go grunge with a pair of lug boots and an oversized sweater, or preppy like I did here.
Fall Florals
Florals for fall may not be quite as common as for spring, but a dark floral dress gives autumn vibes in a way that nothing else can.
It’s fall once again, but it feels like we just got the option to wear dresses back and I’m not ready to give that up. Wearing a dress with tights is one of the easiest ways to keep your dresses in your outfit rotation. I personally prefer to go with dresses that look good with black tights, and since you can’t go wrong with an all black look, it’s good for spooky season and beyond!
Here’s how to wear tights with four different dress styles, to pair with four different styles of boots.
Just don’t forget to add tights!

If you’re like me and run a little more on the cold side, here’s a style tip! When it’s not yet cold enough for a coat, adding a jacket or sweater not only changes up the look of a dress you may have worn all summer. This also adds an extra layer of warmth for the cooler weather of the season.
Not into all black? Try nude sheers instead. If you have a dress with a little more color and black tights don’t really match, these are the perfect solution.
You know I love a good sale and the Nordstrom Anniversary sale going on right now is officially one of my favorites! I’m partnering with Nordstrom and ShopStyle to share the five fall fashion essentials that you need, which are all currently available at Nordstrom as a part of their anniversary sale.
This fall, I am all about staying warm and there’s a reason they call it sweater weather. I very much so plan to spend my days curled up and cozy on the couch. While layering is a must, if I’m staying in, the top layer will most likely be a versatile sweater, to wear with leggings, jeans, skirts, over dresses, the list goes on…
I could wear jeans always. That being said, I have been wearing leggings a lot more often. My personal favorite, are a good faux leather pair, but I have both quality athletic ones as well as soft comfy ones for lounging or running errands. You can literally wear leggings so many ways and I will be busy over here trying to style them in as many ways as I possibly can.
The one thing I was determined to find, and willing to splurge a little more on, during the infamous #NSALE was a pair of black over-the-knee boots. This pair of Stuart Weitzman otk boots are my actual dream boots and I’m so glad that I was able to get them on sale! I also scored a pair of Marc Fisher brown booties, which I’ll be sharing about later. Boots for fall are the florals for spring, in my opinion. The trend may not be groundbreaking, but it is timeless and I fully support it.
If anything was going to be controversial, it’d be dresses. But hear me out. You can pair it with an oversized pullover sweater, a cardigan, a jacket, leggings…
I live for a leather jacket, be it classic, faux, or suede. Everything from the smell, to the feel, to how much cooler they can make any outfit. Nordstrom has such an amazing selection, and I always love finding items I love, by brands that I love, like this BlankNYC jacket.
Here are my best jacket picks:
All five of these fall essentials are not only the perfect addition to any wardrobe, but also a really good base for a fall capsule wardrobe. So if you’re looking to shop and save, check out the Nordstrom Anniversary sale, now through August 30.
Don’t forget that Nordstrom has free shipping and returns as well as curbside pickup. And The Nordy Club, with which you earn points for every dollar you spend and get exclusive access to specific brands. I just got moved up to Insider status!
What is your top fall essential must-have for this upcoming season?
While I would trade fall fashion for summer weather in a heartbeat, I can’t help but find myself grateful for sweater weather. Especially after discovering the French brand Sézane.
My first of their sweaters was from the Madewell x Sézane collaboration. What I loved most about it was the back details. And the fact that it could be worn backwards for a completely different look.
After seeing other digital fashionistas in Sézane pieces, it was impossible to not fall even deeper in love!
These outfits feature two of latest sweater purchases. Even though I styled both of these looks with jeans, knitwear goes equally as great with a skirts, which is how I’ve been wearing them to work.
Which of these sweaters is your favorite and how would you wear it?
