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.
Leather gloves are the one practical, chic accessory you'll see every woman downtown wearing once the weather gets cold enough.
You can always count on Mango to have the best affordable handbags in the game, period.
Life is all about the little luxuries—including this unmissable cashmere scarf.
This full black skirt would be so pretty with a simple gray cardigan or white tee.
Simply wear with knee-high black leather boots and a go-to designer bag for a polished look that's perfect for the office or for happy hour drinks with friends.
Can I say something controversial? I love the look of chocolate-brown leather booties over black leather ones.
I'm a New Yorker, of course I'll never say no to fun statement shoes.
Can you tell I have a Madewell obsession at this point?
NYC women idolize Parisian style, too, so it's no surprise I'm saying oui to this striped sweater.
This is such a good going-out top for just $50.
This pop of leopard print is jaw-dropping when paired with simple black trousers and a white tee.
