Now that fall is in full swing and winter is just around the corner, I’m feeling inspired to get creative and muster up a whole host of chic, layered, and cozy outfits for the cold-weather months ahead. For me, there’s nothing like the thrill of assembling a great outfit. Whether it’s effortlessly layering the perfect pieces, playing with volume and lengths, or merging two colors in fashion harmony, the way we style our staples and statement pieces can make a world of difference in our ensembles.
If you’re looking for some fall and winter outfit inspiration, then you’ve come to the right place. After spending the week looking at Nordstrom’s latest offerings, I’ve put together eight ensembles from the multi-retailer that feel fresh and fashion-forward and will see you through the season in utmost style. Whether for festive night outs, meetings, or cozy weekends, the outfits below will take the guesswork out of styling this winter. Keep scrolling to shop the looks.
Look 1
For a look that will take you from day to night, opt for a pair of taffeta pants (bonus points if they’re in one of this season’s biggest color trends) styled with a satin bag and shoes. Accessorize with a long pendant necklace. Expect plenty of compliments wearing this luxe look.

A plaid skirt can act as the centerpiece of a fall look. Style it with a basic sweater, and keep the accessories elevated and elegant. I’m planning to wear this on Thanksgiving and for plenty of fall festivities to come.

I am fully on board with shearling-lined Ugg ballet flats this season! They’re perfect for weekends, errands, and casual days out. Style them with a Fair Isle sweater (you’ll wear the one below for years to come) and a trend-forward big-buckle belt.
