Just a few weeks into fall and we're already finding ourselves swapping sundresses for sweaters and ball caps for beanies. While the weather may not have transitioned as fast as we have, we love leaning into the season — especially when Nordstrom drops a cooler weather collection this cute. For our latest edition of What to Shop This Week, Shop TODAY Lifestyle & Fashion Contributor Melissa Garcia stopped by Studio 1A to run through the new styles and share what she recommends adding to cart. Shopping for deals? We're also sharing our favorite finds from Nordstrom's fall savings event, which runs through Oct. 15 — and they start at less than $20!
Have your sweaters seen better days? From pilling to pulls in the fabric, there are plenty of signs that now's the time to replace your pullovers — and Garcia has a pick for the guys and the girls. These cotton and cotton-blend crewnecks strike the perfect balance of slouchy and structured, and the best part is that they're both under 50 bucks. For more casual days, you can pair them with knit pants (we found the perfect pair from Lands' End). And for special occasions, drape it across your shoulders over an asymmetrical maxi dress (we spotted one of those, too). Not only does Nordstrom have stylish fall fashion finds from a handful of top brands, but the retailer also has an accessories line of its own — and the jewelry lineup this year has our attention. There are crystal-encrusted hoops, gold and silver studs, timeless tennis bracelets and more stunning (and affordable) pieces that would make the perfect early holiday gift to yourself or someone else.

If you want the comfortable feel of sweats but the elevated look of slacks, you’re going to love these knit pants. Garcia’s pick is made from soft and breathable cotton, holds a straightleg shape, has a stretchy elastic waistband and even features pockets deep enough to carry your phone. They’re loose enough to lounge around in when paired with a sweater or tee, but elevated enough to wear out and about when styled with a blouse or button down.
If you're on the hunt for the perfect fall dress to add to your wardrobe, look no further than this elegant pick that Garcia says is flattering on all shapes and sizes. The mock neck provides great coverage, the styled seaming throughout creates an hourglass figure and we love the asymmetrical hem for an elevated silhouette. Not to mention, it's super stretchy and comfortable with no zippers, buttons or snaps. While it's lightweight enough to wear in warmer weather, you can easily add a belt, blazer and boots once the temperature drops.
Buttery soft and made from a cotton blend, this classic everyday sweater drapes so nicely and even maintains its shape throughout the day. Garcia says you can wear it with just about everything — from jeans, leggings and sweats to dress pants and skirts.
Cold weather is around the corner and beanies are a must-have fall and winter accessory. This unisex pick is from the popular brand Herschel Supply Co. which, according to Garcia, saw a huge spike in Google searches last month. It’s easy to understand why! The brand is known for its outdoorsy apparel and gear, so you know this hat will withstand harsh conditions — even senior editor Francesca Cocchi Zabloudil and her husband can vouch for how comfortable and warm they are. The street style staple is also the perfect price to snag now for stocking stuffers because, as Garcia mentions, it’s never too early to be prepared for gift giving season.
Go for the gold with these teardrop studs that will add some shine to any ensemble.
Garcia loves wearing a tennis bracelet, like this platinum-plated one, to weddings or special events. It looks chic and minimalist when worn on its own, or you could add it to a stack of bracelets and bangles.
Garcia found every guy’s go-to sweater for the season, and it’s this cozy crewneck made from 100% cotton. The drop shoulder gives guys that trendy, laid-back silhouette and the looser, oversized fit also makes it great for layering.
Have multiple piercings? These huggie hoops mesh well with other earrings in your stack.
Studs are perfect to wear as your everyday earrings, since they effortlessly transition from casual to dressier moments.

It can be hard to dress during transitional weather, but this pick offers the best of both worlds. The open front keeps you cool on warm days, while the merino wool keeps you toasty on cold nights.
