Fall Fashion Over 40: No Filler | The Nordstrom 6 September Drop

The Nordstrom 6 is a group of professional stylists over 40—and we don’t believe in filler, at least not in your closet. This September, the Nordstrom 6 Drop delivers six pieces worth injecting into your fall style story right now. Stop chasing trends and start curating outfits with pieces that keep you looking modern, confident, and youthful.

This month’s drop is saturated with style and packed with six forever-favorites that practically choreograph outfits on their own. Think of it as a ready-made fall capsule: a rugged-meets-refined barn jacket, chocolate suede boots that look luxe with everything, a fair isle sweater that whispers après-ski chic, an embroidered blouse that instantly elevates denim, an iconic Coach bag making a serious comeback, and long dark wide-leg denim that flatters everybody (yes, over 40 included).

These aren’t one-hit wonders—they’re six building blocks designed to layer, mix, and remix into more polished looks than your pumpkin spice budget planned for.

1. Barbour Barn Jacket

Rugged and casual meet refined in this fall wardrobe staple. Last year, I featured this style from Barbour and dedicated an entire styling session to it. Most of the pieces are sold out, but you can still copy these 5 barn jacket outfit formulas. Shop a high low mix of this season’s best below.

2. Paige Anessa Jeans

If these look familiar, they are! We included the ankle length version with patch pockets in our August Drop last year and they went viral. Paige has perfected the butt pockets on this popular style and every style come in their signature stretch fabric that is surprisingly soft, stretchy and has great recovery! All Anessas aren’t the same. Some are cropped and some are long. They come with different rises (the distance from the center crotch seam to the top of the waistband). Choose a style this stops close to your belly button for the most flattering fit.

3. VINCE Fair Isle Sweater

Stylist shopping tip: If you invest in at least one quality sweater each year, you’ll soon have a closet any woman would envy in the fall and winter. For years, VINCE has been my go for that quality staple. Since I just found an affordable look for less for VINCE’s cashmere cardigans I’m focusing on special styles, like fair isle, that can’t be copied and I still consider a wardrobe staple.

4. Romantic Blouse Under $100

This designer-inspired blouse, exclusive to Nordstrom, was an automatic yes for all of us. The feminine embroidered details instantly elevate denim.

5. Coach Bag

An iconic Coach bag making a serious comeback and everyone is getting back on board. I styled this bag in our Nordstrom 6 Drop last month and I’m making more outfits with these Coach styles too. This fall lean into brown with brass hardware and anything slouchy or suede.

6. Brown Suede Boots

These boots are beautiful! They look like $1000 boots, but they’re not. They come in 8 colors and I want them all! The first shoes I’ll be stepping into this fall are a pair of brown suede boots. I included several you can start wearing now with dresses in my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale capsule wardrobe, but these are the best so far.

Fall Capsule No Filler

I’ll still be styling these pieces for you this fall.
