Jackets: Everyday Fall Layers
When you’re not quite ready for a heavy coat, a great fall jacket becomes your wardrobe MVP. These pieces are made for layering, add interest to simple outfits, and make the seasonal transition seamless.
The Leather Jacket You’ll Wear Forever
I have and love the AllSaints Dalby Leather Jacket (also pictured above)—it’s a bit of a splurge, but absolutely worth it for the quality and timeless style. The fit is flattering, the leather is buttery soft, and it adds that perfect touch of edge to any outfit. Whether you’re wearing jeans and a tee or a feminine dress, this jacket pulls everything together effortlessly.
Other Jacket Favorites
Also look for timeless blazers—especially in classic fall tones like black, camel, and ivory. This tie waist blazer looks especially flattering, and at just over $100, a great staple piece to have in your wardrobe. Whether you’re heading to a work meeting, lunch with friends, or just want to feel pulled together, a well-tailored blazer adds structure and sophistication.
Coats: The Fall & Winter Essentials
Coats are often the most-worn item in your cold-weather wardrobe—so investing in the right one is key. I always look for timeless cuts, neutral tones, and elevated details that never go out of style.
A Classic Trench
Few pieces are as timeless as a trench coat. This London Fog trench is beautifully tailored, functional, and adds instant sophistication to any look—rain or shine.
The Forever Wool Coat
I also love investing in a chic wool coat during the NSale. The Avec Les Filles Double Breasted Tailored Maxi Coat is stunning and incredibly versatile. It layers well over dresses, jeans, or office-ready looks, and instantly pulls your outfit together.
Rich Faux Fur
For something luxe and a little glam, I’m loving this Sam Edelman faux fur coat in rich chocolate brown. It’s soft, cozy, and makes a major style statement while still feeling classic. Perfect for dressing up even your most casual winter look.
The Trend: Barn Jackets
Barn jackets are already popping up everywhere—and they’re sure to be one of fall’s biggest trends. Think: boxy fits, quilted textures, and countryside-chic vibes. Look for versions in olive green, camel, or navy to blend timeless utility with everyday polish. It’s a great alternative to a classic puffer or trench, and super wearable for day-to-day.
Sweaters: Elevated Knits to Wear on Repeat
Sweaters are a fall staple—and the Anniversary Sale is the perfect time to grab a few quality pieces you’ll love year after year.
Luxe Cashmere
I always try to snag at least one cashmere piece during the sale, and this cashmere turtleneck is a favorite. It’s soft, flattering, and incredibly versatile—ideal for layering under coats or wearing solo with jeans or trousers.
Fall-Friendly Neutrals & Textures
Keep an eye out for creamy hues, warm caramels, and rich greys in textured knits that elevate even the simplest outfits. Pair them with structured trousers, denim, or layer them under your new fall coat.
Shopping the NSale with fall in mind is all about intentional wardrobe building. The pieces above are the ones I gravitate toward every season—timeless, high-quality layers that feel luxe and look polished.
So, are you excited for sweater weather yet? If not, a lot of these pieces can be worn on those chilly summer evenings until the temps start cooling down. Anyway, happy sale shopping ladies!
