I'm a Professional Shopper—These Are the 3 Best Categories From the Nordstrom Winter Sale

The Nordstrom Winter Sale is in full swing, and it's too good to miss. I know navigating a sale can be overwhelming for most, especially when the selection is this vast and robust. Thankfully, I have a trained eye as a professional shopper, so I can help you narrow down the best of the best pieces from the sale. While I expanded on some of my favorites earlier this week, I highly recommend focusing on three categories in particular.
First up is the coat section. It is jam-packed with stellar picks that will instantly elevate any look. I'm especially eyeing longer coats in blacks or neutral colors. Next up is the denim section. Think straight-leg, barrel, and baggy options. Last but not least are the shoes. I rounded up options that are chic, elegant, and rich-looking all at once. Keep scrolling to shop three of the best categories from the latest Nordstrom sale—they are all guaranteed to sell out fast.
