Do you feel that bitter chill in the air? Believe it or not, winter is creeping around the corner—and it’s time to bundle up. As temperatures continue to drop, I plan to round out my capsule wardrobe with streamlined staples that will keep me warm in style. And lucky for me, Nordstrom has all the minimalist finds I could possibly need for the frosty months ahead.
From now until Wednesday, November 19, the retailer is hosting its annual Early Black Friday sale, featuring countless discounts on covet-worthy essentials. In desperate need of a cozy coat? There are plenty of trenches, puffers, and faux fur layers to choose from. Looking for plush knitwear to anchor your trendy winter outfits? Nordstrom’s got you covered with cashmere sweaters, wool-blend jumpers, and zip-up cardigans. How about sturdy boots cut from leather and suede? Yeah, they’ve got those too.
Nordstrom is your one-stop shop for cold-weather pieces, so don’t wait another minute! Scroll on to discover a handpicked edit of items that you’ll wear all season long. If you see something you like, snag it before it’s too late. These styles are guaranteed to sell quickly.
If you need a plain black sweater that will work well for any occasion, choose Treasure & Bond’s mock neck alternative. Dress it up with a slip skirt and heels, or down with jeans and sneakers.
You don’t need me to tell you that layering is essential during the colder months. Make sure to wear Nordstrom's wool-blend top underneath your sweaters and cardigans.
Now that Thanksgiving is almost here, I’ve already started assembling outfit options. This cozy knit dress ranks high on my wish list.
Suede is going viral this season, but I’d say it’s more of a timeless staple than a trend. Play into the look with this cropped barn jacket from Avec Les Filles.
While cashmere sweaters often come with a hefty price tag, this one from Nordstrom falls under $100. You might as well buy two.
A black maxi skirt will always be a must-have in my winter wardrobe. With a neutral hue and a streamlined silhouette, this staple is beyond easy to style.
Channel your inner boho girl with these flared jeans from Joe’s Jeans. Amp up the retro look even further with a frilly top and suede boots.

There are so many ways to wear a white button-up, but I’d recommend pairing this classic style with a sweater vest and slacks.
Complete your corporate style with Open Edit’s Curator trousers. These pants will pair perfectly with a matching blazer and a laptop bag.
Made with a quarter-zip design, this pullover from Lands’ End boasts a sporty-chic edge. Team it with track pants, sneakers, and a puffer jacket for casual errand runs.
While chocolate brown is certainly trending, let us not forget about mocha mousse. This shade is just as delectable, and deserves a spot in your closet.
Given its oversized shape, this turtleneck is ideal for layering. Create a shirt sandwich by wearing this piece beneath a sharp button-down.
