Best Dresses for Fall from Nordstrom

Hey friends! If you know me well, you already know I love wearing dresses more than anything else. They make getting ready so easy… one piece, and you’re done. My closet is probably 90% dresses and maybe 10% pants, tops, and skirts (haha!). So, of course, I’m always drawn to them.

This dress is by Alice and Olivia, and it’s unfortunately already sold out. I found a few other styles that aren’t exactly the same, but they have that similar fitted look and overall fall vibe I love, some more structured, some more relaxed. Just that effortless mix of cozy and chic that I always go for this time of year.

I’m also sharing a few cozy coats and jackets from Nordstrom. A mix of long sleeves, short sleeves, and easy-to-layer styles, all the effortless pieces that make fall dressing so fun, and they are all under $200!!!

Chic Fall Dresses to Take You from Day to Night

I love those dresses you can wear during the day, add a jacket and different shoes, and they instantly work for dinner or a night out. I’ve been into all the new fall dress trends at Nordstrom lately, especially the easy midi and maxi styles that feel comfortable but still look put together. Some of my favorites are cozy knit sweater dresses; they work for everything from brunch to date night. These are the kind of dresses that don’t take any effort but still make you look like you planned your outfit. Perfect for those days when you want something simple, cute, and easy to wear.

The Cutest Midi Dresses for Effortless Fall Style

These dresses are so easy to wear and, honestly, perfect for this time of year. The long-sleeve red dress has that classic fall look, simple, flattering, and great for just about anything, from lunch to a night out. The faux-suede mini has this soft texture that feels cozy but still looks so elegant, and I love how you can easily dress it up or down. Both look so cute with ankle boots.

You can go with a heeled pair if you want to make it dressier or keep it more casual with a flat boot. And then there’s the black velvet dress with the jewel neckline, which has such a timeless, slightly dressier vibe. It’s one of those pieces you can wear to dinner, a special event, or even a fall wedding, depending on how you accessorize it.

What I love most about these dresses is how effortless they feel. Just add your favorite shoes and a light coat, and you’re done. They’re comfortable, chic, and exactly the kind of fall styles I reach for over and over again.

Capes, Puffers & Faux Fur — Fall’s Coziest Layers

Capes, puffers, and faux fur coats are pieces that instantly make any outfit look more stylish. I love how a faux fur coat can make jeans and a simple top feel dressed up, or how a sleek cape adds that effortless, chic touch without even trying. Puffers are perfect for those days you just want to stay warm but still look put together.

You can layer any of these over a dress, a cozy knit, or your favorite tops and pants, instantly making your outfit pop. I’ve been loving the neutral colors and soft textures this season; they’re easy to style with any outfit and work with so many different looks. Whether you’re into bold fashion trends or keeping things classic, these pieces are worth checking out while they’re still on sale.

Chic Party Dresses You Can Wear All Season

Chic party dresses are always a good idea, no matter the occasion. I love having a few pieces in my closet that work for everything… a night out, a date night, or even a wedding guest look. A fitted mini with elegant details or a flowy midi dress always looks good paired with ankle boots or a strappy heel.

You can go for a darker color like black, or try something with a bit of sparkle if you’re going to a black-tie event. The best part is how easy they are to style. You can dress them up with accessories and heels, or keep them more relaxed with simple shoes and a light coat. These are the kind of dresses that always make you feel confident and ready for whatever’s on your calendar.

Faux Fur & Leather Jackets That Make Any Outfit Pop

Faux fur and leather jackets are pieces that can completely change an outfit with little effort. You can wear a simple top and pants, throw on one of these, and it instantly looks like you styled the whole thing. I love pairing a soft faux-fur jacket with a cute midi dress or sweater dress. Leather jackets are always a classic, too.

You can pair them with jeans and boots for an everyday look or wear them over a dress for a night out or date night. I’ve been loving all the new styles in rich fall colors, soft beige, deep green, and classic black; they go with everything. These jackets are the kind of pieces that never really go out of style. They’re fun, a little edgy, and make even a simple outfit look amazing!

Elegant Fall Coats with a Classic Twist

There’s something about a beautiful wool coat that just makes any outfit look instantly refined. I’ve always loved coats with a bit of detail a belted waist, a removable faux-fur collar, or that perfect, structured fit that pulls everything together. These coats look just as good over dresses as they do with your favorite tops and pants, and they’re easy to dress up or down depending on where you’re going.

You can throw one over a sweater dress with ankle boots for a daytime look, or pair it with heels and a clutch for a more polished look. I honestly think one good coat can completely change how your whole outfit looks, simple, elegant, and effortlessly put together.

Cool-Girl Jackets That Go with Everything

These are the kind of jackets I reach for all the time… The easy, cool-girl styles that just work with everything. I love a good cropped jacket or a classic bomber because they instantly make any outfit look cute without even trying. You can wear them with jeans and boots, over a dress, or with a simple top and pants.

They just add that little something extra. Some days I’ll just grab one when I’m in a rush, and it somehow pulls the whole look together. They’re comfortable, easy to throw on, and the kind of jackets you’ll end up wearing on repeat all season.

Final Thoughts!

Fall fashion is always so much fun because it’s all about mixing comfort with style. I love finding those easy pieces… a good midi dress, a cozy sweater dress, or a classic wool coat — that you can wear on repeat and still look put together. Whether it’s a wedding, a black-tie event, or just brunch with friends, the best outfits are always the ones that feel like you. Add a cute pair of shoes, some simple accessories, and you’re done.

Everything I’ve shared is from Nordstrom and still part of their latest sale, so it’s a good time to grab a few things you’ll actually wear. Fashion should always feel effortless, and these pieces make that so easy.

Love,
