If you've ever wondered what makes it out of a fashion editor's cart and into their closet, this shopping guide is your answer. I've been tasked with curating a list of Nordstrom items that our editors are actually purchasing this fall, and what my coworkers shared with me was nothing short of perfection. For tops, cashmere and cable knit sweaters are at the forefront, with Reformation and Ralph Lauren being their go-to brands. For bottoms, it's all about dark washes, barrel-leg jeans, and to my surprise, bermuda shorts. After they told me to style the shorts with an oversize sweater and kitten heels, I totally understood the vision. To finish off their fall looks, they're reaching for brown suede shoes and oversize leather tote bags—specifically, the viral Coach Brooklyn Shoulder Bag that has taken the internet by storm. All these chic items and more can be shopped on Nordstrom, so keep scrolling to dress like a fashion editor this season.
