As a seasoned shopping scribe based in the bustling metropolis of New York, I’ve picked up a few tricks on winter dressing. Currently, Nordstrom’s End-of-Season Sale is brimming with must-have winter items, so I’m taking advantage of the discounts while they last. With the onset of the frosty season approaching, I’m eyeing up wool overcoats, waterproof footwear, plush cashmere scarves, warm blankets, and more, all starting at just $45. Check out these top picks from Ralph Lauren, Sam Edelman, Vince Camuto, and other esteemed brands listed below.
Lauren Ralph Lauren Longline Wool-Blend Coat, $170 (originally $250)
Vince Camuto Star-Detail Crewneck Sweater, $46 (previously $79)
Sam Edelman Paige Bootie, $108 (originally $180)
Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Ultra-Lite Boat-Neck Pajamas, $150 (initially $228)
Lands’ End Fluffy Slide House Slippers, $45 (originally $60)
Blondo Marcie Waterproof Bootie, $90 (previously $150)

Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Throw Blanket, $111 (previously $158)
I’m contemplating purchasing a coat similar to this one for more formal occasions or when I’d prefer a sleeker look over the bulkier jackets. The wool-blend design reaches just above the knee, featuring a notched collar and front patch pockets. I’m fond of the rich brown hue, though it also comes in black, heather gray, and navy, each offering a stunning alternative.
The star-adorned side of this sweater is a delightful touch. The star adds a unique flair to the crew-neck, setting it apart from standard pullovers, yet it remains versatile enough to pair with denim, trousers, and skirts. Its slightly oversized fit promises comfort throughout the winter months, and I might even opt for it with leggings and Uggs on work-from-home days.
I’ve always been a fan of leopard prints, and they’re making a significant comeback right now. These booties are the ideal accessory to add a subtle touch of the pattern to any ensemble. The zippered ankle boots are a breeze to slip on and off, and the block heel offers enough stability for city strolls.
This cozy set is just what I need for those cozy nights spent binge-watching during the cold season. The relaxed long-sleeve top and wide-leg pants are also perfect for errands or travel. The set ranges from XS to 3XL to accommodate various body types, and there are six color options to choose from, though not all are on sale.
Luxurious slippers are a must-have for any season, but especially in winter, especially for those with chilly feet like me. These plush faux shearling slides come with a memory foam insole for enhanced comfort. They would also make a wonderful holiday gift for anyone on your list.
New York’s winter weather can be quite erratic, so owning a pair of waterproof boots like these is a necessity. They’re not only safe for unexpected rain showers but also comfortable, thanks to the memory foam cushioning and chunky heel. They’ll undoubtedly be a lifesaver when I’m dressed in outfits that aren’t compatible with rain boots.
My neck often feels the chill, so I always wear a scarf when I step outside in the cold. This cashmere scarf comes in a variety of colors, including burgundy, tan, gray, beige, lilac, and more, allowing me to match it with various outfits. One shopper praised it, saying, “It’s a great weight and size for use as a blanket on a plane, worn with a sweater as an adorable accessory, used for warmth and style with a coat, and as a cute and stylish wrap at restaurants.”
If you’re searching for the perfect holiday gift, consider this throw blanket. I own one and can attest to its ultra-softness and fluffiness. Moreover, it was included in our list of the best throw blankets. The fabric is engineered to resist pilling and wrinkling, and it’s machine washable for easy maintenance. The beige color will complement any decor style.
