The current soundtrack: the shudder of every window shade thrown up to embrace that cool, crisp autumn air. Of apple cider-inspired cocktails being ladled into gorgeous fall-themed glassware. It’s November, and you know what that means: cozy season.
As we wade through pumpkin spice confections and endless online sales begging you to spend your hard-earned dollars on seasonal apparel and décor, our attention’s piqued by one particular—and classic—retailer with a polished, versatile collection of home, style, and even wellness items ideal for autumn.
While a camel suede coat may be calling your name, sometimes the couch is still louder. Whether you’re gearing up for a holiday cocktail or on episode eleven of Gilmore Girls (in your coziest pajamas, on the way to the kitchen for another steaming cup of tea and slice of pumpkin bread), scroll on for our favorite Nordstrom selections to embrace the spirit of the season, from warm fall fashion to comfy home goods.
First of all, if you don’t have an ultra cozy fleece jacket to keep you warm and snug as the temperatures dip, that’ll be a first priority. The North Face is a golden standard for insulation that actually withstands variant weather, and this roomy sherpa is casual enough to throw on while in for the night but stylish enough to keep you company for other occasions.

Here’s why a pair of velvet platform sandals is the perfect fall purchase: because you can wear them when it’s still warm and toasty outside, or layer up with tights or chunky socks for a chillier look. Plus, that’s not even getting to the holiday cocktails; this merlot colorway would be an absolute stunner.

The retro-style Smeg electric kettle is Instagram-famous for a reason. Its powder-coated stainless steel design is attractive on any countertop, while its auto shut-off features, 360-swivel base, and water reading markers keep it firmly rooted in modern convenience. As the weather turns, the ritual of boiling water simply feels comforting—improved by the delightful aromas of cinnamon, chai, or your preferred autumnal scent, of course.

Sick of the classic fall palette of creams, browns, and blacks? We feel ya. Opt for a graphic-patterned sweater for a splash of color—and look no further than this Zadig & Voltaire pick. Merino wool is a prime material for winter layering, as it keeps you warm but wicks away any sweat, so you’ll nearly always be at your ideal temperature.

You may not be ready to go all-in on the chunky sweaters (and you may not live somewhere that gets all that chilly), in which case a wool-and-cashmere blend would do nicely in a tank design. The high neck and flattering fit are elegant enough to align with formal occasions or to wear to work, and it’s soft enough to want to stay in long after you come home (which can definitely be a rarity in some fall fashion pieces). Snag it now while it’s on sale.

Self-care feels like a natural next step when you’re bundled up for the night. Face mask? Inevitable. If you want a seasonal choice, this turmeric pumpkin spice selection is lightweight and exfoliating—we were just opting for a gourd theme for the vibe, but it turns out pumpkin is actually helpful in stimulating collagen production, too. And the added turmeric is anti-inflammatory.

Who knew Ugg made boots like this? The brand’s slippers may be hiding under the bed in half-matted shame ready for me, but I would rock these beauts on any city sidewalk. For those who struggle walking in platforms, the lugged sole is your new best friend for navigating slush, rain, or snow all the way through next spring.

Although the season might inspire dreams of endless cobblers, confections, and the like, your housemates, partner, or even your stomach might groan at the thought of yet another baked good appearing on the kitchen countertop. Instead, opt for a mini coquette, which is ideal for individually sized portions. The pumpkin-themed bakeware is iconic (and oven-safe, of course).

Nightfall is officially coming in earlier, which can throw our circadian rhythms off balance as we hunker down in preparation for winter. To boost your wellness, kickstart your habits, and generally improve your sleep patterns, we recommend a chic sunrise clock—like the Hatch Restore 2 Sunrise Alarm Clock with built-in sound machine, now in a soft neutral colorway.

Weighted blankets are scientifically proven to help reduce anxiety and calm your nervous system, contributing to your ability to physically relax. Still, as much as we love the blankets’ tangible benefits, some of the options with glass beads or clinical-looking colors can completely ruin the curated fall aesthetics we’re going for. Enter Bearaby, a brand which uses recycled fabrics to create a chunky knit look and feel much more conducive to your autumn styling. I get endless compliments on my own throw, and nothing soothes me more than snuggling up beneath it. For best results, Bearaby recommends opting for a blanket that’s 10 percent of your weight.

You need an absolutely indulgent pair of pajamas for all your movie-watching (and your snoozes, of course). The Eberjey Gisele Jersey Knit Pajamas are some of my favorites for their temperature-regulating fabric: soft to the touch, and easy to wear in any weather. The contrast piping adds a small, chic touch too.

Who would we be if we didn’t recommend a scented candle that takes you directly (both literally and figuratively) to a roaring fireside? The gleaming gold aesthetic aligns beautifully with orange, gold, bronze, and other colorways reminiscent of falling leaves, and the scent is both warm and nostalgic. The candle has a 120 to 150-hour approximate burn time, so will get you through all your movie marathons.
