Fall might be in full swing, but my wardrobe is still catching up to the change of seasons. I’ve got plenty of sturdy knee-high boots and cloud-like cashmere cardigans, but what I seem to be missing is a reliable rotation of cozy fall jackets that will keep me warm all season long.

To remedy my closet crisis, I’ve turned to none other than Nordstrom (as I often do when I’m in a pinch). Fortunately for me, the retailer’s site is packed with a slew of seasonally appropriate layers from edgy leather jackets to classic trench coats. And to make things even sweeter, Nordstrom is hosting its annual fall sale event from now until Monday, October 28 (which means that you can score up to 50 percent off a range of autumn-ready pieces).

While perusing their sale section, I discovered hundreds of deals that are simply too good to pass up. Free People's Wild Rose Faux Leather Bomber Jacket is 35 percent off its original price, Treasure & Bond's Crop Cotton Blend Field Jacket is under $100, and Frame's '70s Belted Denim Jacket dropped in price from $448 to $179—and that’s merely a preview of what Nordstrom has to offer. So, keep scrolling for more markdowns on the best fall jackets because it’s time to bundle up!

Shop On-Sale Leather Jackets

Peek into any style connoisseur’s closet and you’re bound to see a lineup of leather jackets. These days, it seems as though the fashion crowd can’t get enough of ‘80s era bombers, but other classic styles like leather biker jackets and leather blazers are just as relevant. Pair any of the grungy pieces below with a snug turtleneck, billowing wide-leg jeans, and ankle boots, and you’ve got yourself an easygoing fall outfit that’ll turn you into a shameless outfit repeater.

Shop On-Sale Denim Jackets

It’s true, trusty denim jackets can do no wrong. This style has been steadily rotating through decades of trend cycles, and you can rest assured that it’s not going anywhere. Aside from offering standard denim jacket silhouettes designed with relaxed fits and sharp collars, Nordstrom also boasts a bevy of options from brands like Frame and Good American that put a playful twist on the timeless look.

Shop On-Sale Puffer Jackets

When temperatures grow intensely cold, you’ll want to slip into an insulated puffer jacket to fend off bone-chilling wind gusts. Invest in any of these styles and you’ll stay nice and warm. Choose a streamlined puffer or go for a quilted alternative adorned with intricate diamond-shaped sections. Whichever jacket you pick, you’re guaranteed to love the look and the price (the majority of Nordstrom's on-sale puffers are below $200).

Shop On-Sale Cotton Twill Jackets

Barn jackets stitched with cotton twill fabric have become a fan favorite among fashion It-girls like Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner, and Katie Holmes. Follow suit with a hard-working layer that screams “take me to the stables” or opt for other cotton-blend layers like utility jackets, military jackets, and buttoned overshirts.

Shop On-Sale Trench Coats

Stack your wardrobe with a rotation of trench coats now, and you’ll rely on them for years to come. As far as colorways go, select any shade you’d like, but I’ve intentionally rounded up neutral-toned trenches for the sake of practicality. You’ll also find a mix of hemlines, varying from calf-skimming lengths to cropped versions (I’d recommend opting for both to expand your styling possibilities).

Shop On-Sale Blazers

If you’re searching for a few blazers to round out your collection of fall work outfits, look no further because I’ve put together the best options from Nordstrom’s fall sale. From classic black blazers to statement-making alternatives designed with pinstripes, there are endless options to choose from. Plus, you’ll find blazers as low as $48, so add these sharp styles to your shopping cart ASAP before they sell out.
