Now that we've settled into fall, there's no one better to give us a helping hand with our elegant fall purchases than Nordstrom's associate fashion director, Linda Cui Zhang, who has a pulse on all the seasonal trends and what matters in fashion.
Below, Cui Zhang is sharing four elegant trends worth adding to your wardrobe this fall. Keep scrolling to add a touch of sophistication to your wardrobe.
Ladylike Heels
"A ladylike heel sharpens your outfit. The style brings femininity to an office ensemble and adds polish to occasion dresses. I look forward to wearing open-toe and mule styles with tights this season."
Brown
"The warm, earthy neutral is a softer, less severe alternative to black. From cognac to espresso, there's a shade for everyone, and they can be mixed and matched for an elegant tonal look. I recommend focusing on outerwear, bags, or boots to integrate this 'new neutral' into your wardrobe."
Textures
"Textures and tactile fabrications like suede and shearling add dimension to your wardrobe. A suede jacket or shearling coat completes a look. Small pops in a suede bag or shearling shoes bring a cozy touch to your outfit."
Novelty Knits
"A warm welcome to sweater weather! A statement sweater in a fun Fair Isle or playful pattern pairs well with a favorite skirt and tall boots for an elegant, versatile outfit."
