After a record-breaking heat wave in Los Angeles, the temperatures have cooled and the first signs of fall are here. Though we don't typically get the changing of the leaves (there's far too many palm trees for that), fall in L.A. is one of my favorite times of year. Contrary to what everyone thinks, it does actually get cool here—especially at night—so it's exciting to start layering again and actually wear the boots that have been tucked away in the back of my closet. However, with every new season, it's a time to reevaluate your wardrobe and add a refresh. That's why I spent hours scrolling on Nordstrom to pinpoint the best fall finds that I can see myself incorporating into my seasonal looks.
From versatile cardigans and skirts to classic ballet flats and Levi's jeans, the 35 items below are easy and stylish, all the while giving off cozy fall vibes. The mix of materials in this season also adds so much interest to an otherwise simple ensemble, like chunky knits, leather, suede, corduroy, houndstooth, cashmere, and so much more. If you're looking for an autumnal closet reset, this is your sign to browse the forthcoming designs and start your fall fashion journey.
