The 2025 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale just opens for cardholders tonight at 9PM PST, and I’ve already combed through the racks to bring you the pieces I think are going to fly.

Fall 2025 Trends I’m Loving
The pieces this year tell one story: timeless with edge and the selection is paired down. Here’s what’s showing up strong: This year’s pieces are speaking the language of quiet luxury meets fall layering. Think:
Quiet Luxury – Clean lines, rich textures, and forever pieces
Wide-Leg Everything – From denim to trousers, volume is it
Tonal Layering – Creams, cocoa, soft blush, and olive
Texture Play – Bouclé, ribbed knits, faux leather, wool blends
Sculpted Accessories – Structured bags and boots you’ll wear all season
Wellness-Focused Beauty – Think radiant skin and recovery at home
This is the year to invest in pieces you’ll wear over and over again.
Denim I Love
Nothing reinvents your wardrobe like the right pair of jeans—and this year is all about the silhouette. I’m seeing wide-leg cuts, raw hems, and soft structure in all the best washes.
Top Picks:
Veronica Beard | Kasey Raw Hem Wide Leg Jeans; I have these in blue and you ALWAYS ask about them. They’re a splurge so now is the time to snag them for less!
FRAME | The Bubble Jeans; my #1 pick this year if i could only choose one!
→ Add to wishlist now—sizes in these go fast.
Coats & Outerwear
A great coat makes the outfit—and the NSALE never disappoints. I tried on cropped trenches, long belted silhouettes, and wool-blend vests that elevate even a tee-and-jeans moment.
Top Picks:
Shrunken Button Wool & Cashmere Blend Vest
One Button Long Coat; this one is SO chic, looks very designer!
Beauty
This is the year to invest in skincare that actually works and scents that elevate your everyday. I love mixing in beauty tech with luxe classics.
Top Picks:
Valaya Eau de Parfum Set; discovered this new scent a few months ago and bought the 1oz because its pricey now I’m buying the full size because I LOVE IT! Lasts all day and i always get so many compliments!
HigherDOSE Infrared Sauna Blanket; I do this at least 4 times a week while listening to a podcast and it’s my favorite and so many health benefits!
Accessories
An instant wardrobe refresh starts here. This year’s picks feel refined but wearable—perfect to pull together every fall outfit.
Top Picks:
AllSaints Alba Suede Hobo Bag; so roomy, understated, the color is so rich!
Ray-Ban Kai Oval Sunglasses, I really wanted the Celine version but these are under $100, SOLD!
Home
Cozy finds, beauty tech, and small luxuries you’ll reach for daily. These are the stay-at-home upgrades worth adding to cart.
Top Picks:
Organic Hydrocotton 6-Piece Towel Set $144 Value; I replace my towels EVERY year on the sale! Plush and luxurious!
Pura Smart Fragrance Diffuser & Refill Set; if you want you house to smell like an expensive hotel!
Bowie Big Accent Pillow; these are huge and make such a statement! Everyone always asks about them when they come over.
Travel
For airport outfits, quick getaways, or cross-country plans—these pieces are light, packable, and totally functional.
Top Picks:
Cloudnova 2 Sneaker; SO EXCITED for these and don’t be scared of white seneakers. This is my secret weapon to keep them bright and like new.
Relaxed Fit Pima Cotton Crew Tee; i bought these in every color. They’re that perfect relaxed tee fit, fabric is nice and thick and goes with everything.
Away Flex Bigger Spinner Carry On; I have this and its the best luggage I own!
Athleisure
I’m loving this clean and classic moment for activewear. Easy neutrals, flattering fits, and sets you’ll wear everywhere (even if the only plan is coffee and errands).
Top Picks:
Zella Seamless Mixed Media Bomber Jacket; for walks and even with jeans!
Workwear
Workwear is looking polished and wearable this year—these are the pieces I’d style for coffee meetings, presentations, or casual-chic dinners.
Top Picks:
Reiss Simone Cowl Neck Trapeze Top; gorgeous color and the back is such a moment.
Knits
The knitwear in this year’s sale has range—bouclé textures, sculptural crops, and polished polos that feel anything but basic.
Top Picks:
Open Edit Luxe Sculpt Rib Sweater Tank; closet staple you need in every color. Under blazers for the office or with jeans for nights out. Fabric is SO nice and thick.
Shoes
If you need a reason to invest in new fall footwear, this is it. I found versatile boots, designer-inspired heels, and comfy sneakers I’ll be styling all season.
