8 Fall Runway Trends I’m Shopping Early and On Sale At Nordstrom

At last, Nordstrom’s long-awaited Anniversary Sale is here and while it’s certainly tempting to only buy things that fit your exact needs right now, I want to challenge you to think ahead. As someone who has shopped this sale (and many, many others) for over a decade, I’ve made every discount-related mistake in the book. From said mistakes, though, I’ve also learned the right way to approach them. And the lesson I follow most is to go into sales with the following season in mind rather than the current one. That way, when you buy something, you have months to break it in instead of mere weeks.

Since the Anniversary Sale arrives at the tail end of summer, fall—often regarded as the best fashion season of all—is our primary focus. Fortunately for anyone needing a bit of inspiration before tackling its endless array of red-marked shelves and/or pages, there’s no shortage of fall 2023 runway imagery to influence your purchases. So, before your dream fall wardrobe gets snatched up by someone else with the right idea in mind, scroll down to discover all of the fall 2023 runway trends that are available shopping early and on sale at Nordstrom until August 7.
