10 Fall Staples You Can Get on Major Discount at Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is about as close to Christmas as it can get for fashion people outside of actual Christmas. This two-week event brings with it markdowns on clothes, shoes, accessories, bags, beauty, and even home goods. As of 12:30 p.m. ET today, the notorious Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is finally open to the general public.

As the sale has been open to Nordy Club members since last Friday, some items are already beginning to sell out. Shop our top picks for fall that you can get on major discount today today before they run out of stock, and see the full sale live on Nordstrom.com.
Topshop Supersoft Deep Hem Crewneck Sweater

This plush longline crewneck by Topshop is a versatile addition to any transitional wardrobe, and comes in three baby-soft colors, Pink, Gray Marl, and Camel.

Levi’s Ribcage Super High Waist Ankle Straight Leg Jeans
Let me pivot into first person real quick here because I need to tell you something about these jeans. Not only are these the best new style on Levi’s lineup, beating out even the ever-popular Wedgie cut, they’re secretly actually the ‘Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants’ for how damn universally flattering they are. The proportions are so on point I barely even reach for my other denim since adopting these, and every time I wear them, friends and strangers ask me where I got them. Do yourself a favor and don’t sleep on the Ribcage cut, especially not at 30 percent off.

Vince Camuto Nestel Knee High Boot
Heed the yeehaw agenda this fall with a pair of python knee-highs. A far cry from Britney-era snake charmer print, this sophisticated black-brown-tan scale-textured leather operates as a neutral with a twist, adding an interesting twist to your look without overpowering. What’s more, these Camuto boots are supremely comfortable, thanks to their chunky heel and softened leather.

Max Mara Mantide Pleated Silk, Linen & Wool Crop Pants
A solid pleated pant is a wardrobe necessity year-round, but it’s in the fall that we most feel their power. After months of flowy and mini things covering (or not covering) our legs, we’re ready to step out in a power trouser. Thankfully, this pair is still lightweight enough to carry us from late summer through at least late-fall, and their blush tone promises to take the edge off of bulkier ensembles.
