Everyone knows that Nordstrom is our home base for those basic pieces that anchor our wardrobes. I'm talking about the leggings we wear to every yoga class, the ankle boots that we've worn

to death, and the tees and tanks we reach for on the regular. While no closet feels complete without these nonnegotiables (they're called essentials for a reason), today, I need to divert your attention to the trendier pieces the retailer has on offer right now. Specifically, the fall shoes. Quick shoutout to our Who What Wear line for serving up every good trend right now, all shoppable at Nordstrom.

Whether it be sleek '90s-inspired knee-high boots, the new 2021 versions of flat mules or eye-catching animal prints, the fall shoe trends you're about to see are striking a chord with me in a way no basic shoe ever could. Sorry, not sorry! These styles are really satisfying my itch to load up on the key trends coming down the pipeline this fall, and since I know you're curious to see what's making my heart flutter a little extra, I compiled a list of the shoes that are doing just that. Keep scrolling to get your fill of all the trendy goodness that awaits you.
