These 48 Elevated Staples Feel Very 2025, and They're All Included in Nordstrom's Half-Yearly Sale

I can't believe it's 2025 as I'm writing this story! I also can't believe how incredible the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale is this season. I already shared an edit of standout selects, including chic Parisian-inspired items. Next, I wanted to round up everything I love that feels very 2025—aka modern pieces will bring a relevant spin to any closet.
Keep scrolling to shop cool outerwear silhouettes that you can throw on and make any ensemble feel instantly elevated. You'll also find trend-forward basics that can be styled in so many different ways and "wear all the time" sweaters. Of course, I didn't forget about next-level shoes and accessories. Keep scrolling for all of that and more.
