Susie Wright, the mastermind behind So Susie, worked as a Nordstrom buyer for years. So, yes, it’s safe to say that she’s a Nordstrom shopping expert. On that note, the Nordstrom Winter Sale is officially here, and it’s epic. We already shared a list of standout items but thought we’d dive further into the sale offering with must-have picks from Wright.
Below, you’ll uncover the key categories Wright thinks you won’t regret shopping, complete with her intel. Go on to shop on-sale knits, outerwear, denim, shoes, beauty picks, and so much more from Nordstrom.
Coats
“If you’re looking for one of the best investments for your closet, hands down it’s a coat. And finding one on sale is even better! I recommend classic colors like camel, gray, or black—you’ll have these for years. Depending on your climate, a wool or cashmere coat is always a good idea. Consider brands like Fleurette, Reiss, or Sam Edelman.” — Wright
