My Chic L.A. Aunt Is Shopping These Fall and Winter Fashion Essentials From Nordstrom

My aunt has always been the epitome of effortless style—in fact, she was my first fashion muse. She can make basic leggings and a T-shirt a statement outfit, and she’s a master at sourcing the best pieces you’ll want to wear again and again. As I’ve refined my own wardrobe over the years, her staples have become my own, and I make it a point to check in with her every season to see what she’s buying. And this year, she’s doing most of her fall shopping at Nordstrom, picking up these eight styles from Free People, Reformation, AllSaints, Steve Madden, and more. I guess I will, too!

8 Aunt-Approved Nordstrom Fall Fashion Picks: 

AllSaints Briar Crewneck Cotton T-Shirt

My love for styling simple pieces came from my aunt, and it’s because her basics always look so high-quality. She said her favorite brand for basics is AllSaints, and she’s had her eye on the Briar Crewneck Cotton T-Shirt. It’s made from 100-percent cotton and features a crewneck, short sleeves, drop shoulders, and a boxy shape. What’s more, it’s available in sizes XS to L and staple colors, black and white.

Commando Control-Top Faux Leather Leggings

Leggings always read casual to me, but my aunt opts for styles like these Leather Leggings from Commando to elevate her looks. She styles them with knee-high boots and an oversized sweater for an outfit that can easily go from day to night. They come in a shiny black, tan, red, and burgundy, as well as sizes XS to XL. They also feature a compression waistband that sits high on the waist, partial lining, and a glove-like fit.

Steve Madden Lorinda Over-the-Knee Boot

My aunt has a thing for head-turning boots, and she has her eyes on these Steve Madden Lorinda Boots. They feature a nearly four-inch heel, over-the-knee shaft, and inset side zipper that makes them easy to put on and take off. The boots sit snug to the leg and come in black, gray, and red, plus sizes 5.5 to 10.
