My favorite season is coming soon—7 fall-themed Nordstrom purchases that I'll be trading my bikinis and flip-flops for.

      Autumn is one of my favorite seasons for fashion. While I’m not quite ready to say goodbye to summer, I am looking forward to the change. I’ve already begun preparing my wardrobe for the seasonal shift, and Nordstrom is my top choice for updating my closet. This summer, we saw lace-trim details, linen trousers, and toe-ring sandals, but what are their fall counterparts? Don’t worry; I spent the morning searching for summer-to-fall wardrobe swaps that maintain the same style and vibe. Keep reading to shop my selection of summer items that should be retired and their stylish, fall-ready alternatives—all available at Nordstrom.

      **7 Stylish Summer-to-Fall Clothing Swaps from Nordstrom**

      **Retire:** Linen Trousers

      **Swap:** Satin Pants

      Satin pants are my pick for replacing the ubiquitous linen trousers from summer. This $80 Open Edit pair is how I plan to look elegant and luxurious come September.

      **Madewell**

      Devon Satin Pants

      **Open Edit**

      Satin Wide Leg Pull-On Pants

      **WAYF**

      Helene High Waist Wide Leg Pants

      **Retire:** Toe-Ring Sandals

      **Swap:** Ruched Loafers

      I'm not quite ready to let go of open-toed sandals, but the chic loafers at Nordstrom have won me over, especially the ruched leather and suede styles.

      Ani Ruched Penny Loafer

      **G.H.BASS**

      Whitney Weejuns Penny Loafer

      **Retire:** Short-Sleeve Crewneck

      **Swap:** Long-Sleeve Crewneck

      The long-sleeve T-shirt is a simple replacement that will instantly upgrade your wardrobe. It’s easy, versatile, and likely already in your closet. Oversized long sleeves add a touch of casual flair, but the shirt itself is just as adaptable as its short-sleeve equivalent.

      **COS**

      Brushed-Cotton T-Shirt

      **All in Favor**

      Striped Long Sleeve T-Shirt

      **LESET**

      Margo Baseball T-Shirt

      **Retire:** Baggy Low-Rise Denim

      **Swap:** Straight-Leg Jeans

      Put away the baggy low-rise jeans until next summer and opt for a sophisticated, tailored pair of straight-leg jeans this fall. They pair beautifully with a crisp white button-down and slingback heels.

      **Citizens of Humanity**

      90s High Waist Straight Leg Jeans

      **AG**

      Brinley Mid Rise Straight Leg Jeans

      **Reformation**

      Elton Mid Rise Straight Leg Jeans

      **Retire:** Lace-Trim Shorts

      **Swap:** Lace-Trim Skirt

      This swap makes complete sense. You can continue the lace-trim trend with a lace-trim midi skirt. I’m not saying you need to completely retire your lace-trim shorts for a whole season (they can still work with a heavier knit or rugby polo), but for more coverage, consider any of these skirts below.

      Lace Trim Satin Bias Midi Skirt

      **Swap:** Cashmere Cardigan

      As the temperature transitions from summer warmth to fall breezes, a lightweight cashmere cardigan is just what you need. Simply tie it around your waist or drape it over your shoulders for an effortlessly stylish look.

      **Nordstrom**

      Cashmere Crewneck Cardigan
