Native New Yorkers and Cool-Girl Transplants Agree on One Thing: These 31 Nordstrom Black Friday Sale Items Are *It*

As a baby New Yorker of only three years, I can’t help but love a good wardrobe refresh come fall and winter—especially when Nordstrom's Cyber Monday sale is extended.
This year, I’m all about stocking up on timeless pieces that are both stylish and versatile thanks to my evolving sense of style after living in the Big Apple. New York women are known for their chic, understated style, often relying on classic silhouettes and neutral color palettes that never go out of fashion—items like slouchy sweaters, jeans, and well-made leather booties are all part of our wardrobe lexicon. Thankfully, they're also the items that are most deeply discounted during the Nordstrom extended Cyber Monday sale. I just spent the last three hours combing through Nordstrom's website to find the best deals. It's safe to say I hit the jackpot: My favorite brands like Madewell, Open Edit, and Free People are all part of this year's slashed prices.
Below, shop the best Nordstrom on-sale deals on chic, classic items that are New York editor–approved and will be in high rotation in 2025. Believe me when I say you'll want to add everything to your online cart.
