Looking warm and chic during the winter is quite the feat to pull off. Take it from this New Yorker, who struggles with the concept year after year, especially when the January snowstorms start to hit and the freezing temperatures follow. Noticing a lackluster nature in my own wardrobe (I truly can't bear to wear my sleeping bag–style puffer coat another day), I went straight for the Nordstrom Cold-Weather Shop and found some major goodies.
Cool faux-fur outerwear pieces are going to be my biggest helpers. After all, in a commuter city like New York, a coat makes or breaks your whole outfit. Minimalist knitwear is another must in my book, whether that be fitted turtlenecks or ribbed zip-ups, and winter boots are a definite necessity for navigating those slippery sidewalks. Instead of your run-of-the-mill snow options, I am going for street style–approved picks like leather, block heels, and even Uggs. What can I say? I have been influenced by all the cute Instagram looks.
Go ahead—shop the 30 chic winter Nordstrom items that are in my cart currently.
