Burgundy Is the *It* Color of Fall 2025—Here Are 8 Pieces to Snap Up During the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Put a little extra pep in your step with these incredibly cool slingback kitten heels. The peek-a-boo cutouts in front, plus that dainty little buckle, gives the shoe major ‘90s vibes, and I love that the back is adjustable to ensure it won’t slip off your ankle as you walk. The heel stands just 1.25 inches high, enough to make you stand a little taller without totally stressing your arches—a true win-win, IMO.

The ultimate travel day bag, this Coach number comes with two different straps and has ample room for all your essentials—phone, card card, keys, sunglasses, mini SPF, etc. One is a fixed shoulder strap and the other an adjustable leather crossbody strap, both made of the same gorgeous burgundy leather as the body. And if you want something more evening appropriate, you can remove both straps to carry this bag as a clutch, too. Talk about versatility!

This cozy cotton-blend knit will be all you want to wear come sweater season. It’s giving “New England college professor” in all the best ways. It has an oversize fit that reviewers say is roomy without being too baggy, and a wide collar that gives a subtle nod to the recent fisherman aesthetic. That said, reviewers also suggest petite folks may want to order one size smaller than their usual for better overall proportions.

Get the Sézane look for less with this lightweight T-shirt dress, now more than 30 percent off. The stretchy jersey material is reportedly super soft to the touch. And that tie at the waist can be knotted multiple different ways. Wear this beauty now with strappy sandals and some statement earrings, then with knee-high boots and an oversize blazer come autumn.

These knee-high boots come in a whole range of beautiful color options, but it’s the burgundy that scream “quiet luxury” most of all. The curved top and knotted leather strap around the ankle add a subtle, and incredibly chic, western feel. There is a hidden zipper on the inside of the shaft to make it easier to pull these boots on and off, and the stacked heel stands at fashionable, but walkable, 3 inches high.

Who doesn’t love a two-in-one wardrobe staple? This mini dress takes all the guesswork out of fall layering with a knit vest styled over a silky shirtdress in coordinating burgundy hues. And, yes, the two pieces are not attached, so you can style them with other pieces from your wardrobe, too. The dress has a slightly relaxed fit, but there isn’t much stretch to the fabric, so be sure to double check that size chart before you add this beauty to your shopping cart.

In the market for some new Mary Janes? Former Associate Fashion Commerce Editor Stephanie Meraz swears this pair from one of Meghan Markle's favorite shoe brands is soft, lightweight *and* breathable. “Never in my life have I worn a flexible and more comfortable ballet flat until now—I’m truly in awe over the quality,” she gushed in her review. Thanks to their signature fabric upper (which is made from recycled plastic bottles), they're also machine-washable, so you can make them look brand new again in no time.

Swap your old go-to black leather moto for something a bit more posh this fall. This Open Edit jacket puts an edgy spin on an oversize blazer with a textured faux leather that reviewers say feels oh-so luxe IRL. It’s fully lined and there’s a vent in the back for a more comfortable fit. Layer it over a LBD for date night (with the above Sam Edelman kitten heels, of course) or over jeans and a plain white tee for brunch with the gals.
