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
Shoes (Sneakers, Sandals, Boots)
"We all love shoes! Whether you’re looking for sandals, cool sneakers, or even boots, this is a key category that always sells out. Nordstrom has the best shoe sales, so this category is definitely one you want to stock up on." — Wright
Beauty Staples
"Everyone loves a good beauty find, and I noticed many sale picks that are worth a try. One of my favorite things to stock up on is beauty sets—they’re a great value, and you always get an extra item or two!"— Wright
Denim
"This might be the first category to check since there is lots of denim on sale. I believe every stylish outfit begins with a great pair of jeans! Be sure to scroll through this section. You’ll find all the styles that are trending in 2025—everything from wide-leg to flares to classic washes like gray, black, and faded denim." — Wright
Handbags
"There are many beautiful handbags on sale this season. Several of them are ones you can wear all year long, like a few by Tory Burch. Also, this is the time to grab a designer handbag on sale! Wear it mostly every day, and you'll get your value out of it."— Wright
