Get a Head Start on the Top 2025 Trends With These Key Pieces From the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale

With the new year officially here, there's no better time than now to get a head start on a closet refresh with the help of some of the top 2025 trends. One retailer that is guaranteed to get you sorted in this regard is Nordstrom. Its highly anticipated Half-Yearly Sale just started, and there is a plethora of discounted gems that I couldn't help but add to my cart with the new year in mind.
There are five key winter pieces that I noticed while scrolling through all the sale offerings that feel very 2025. Each is elevated and timeless, and while they're of-the-moment, they can be worn for many years to come. Think elegant coats, kitten-heel boots, dark-wash jeans, and more. Scroll on to shop all of my top trendy picks from the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale.

Dark-Wash Jeans
Elegant Coats
