Everyone loves Nordstrom, but perhaps none more than the fashion set in New York City. With the end of the year rapidly approaching (seriously, can we slow things down a bit?), there's no better time to hit up our favorite retailer.
Here, I rounded up seven winter trends that editors, influencers, and It girls of NYC are all into currently and seven that they might pass on. With floor-sweeping coats, knee-length skirts, sporty sunglasses, and quietly cool sneakers, you'll find something to freshen up your outfits. If you're looking for some newer pieces to add to your cold-weather wardrobe, keep scrolling for some inspiration straight from the most stylish inhabitants of the Big Apple.
Buy: Retro SneakersSkip: Chunky Sneakers
Chunky sneakers are great to have for extra traction, but if you're in need of a new pair, do what the New Yorkers do and opt for a sleeker retro style instead.
These will go with your winter looks.
The metallic detail is on-trend.
The mix of the fabrics is eye-catching.
Have you ever seen sneakers so pretty?
Black kicks will stand out from a sea of white footwear.
So polished.
Buy: Sporty SunglassesSkip: Micro Sunglasses
Sport-inspired sunglasses are having more of a moment. It's totally fine if you want to give your micro sunglasses a spin, but NYC girls are gravitating more toward shield sunnies now, and it's easy to see why with these cool protective styles that have wraparound lenses.
Wear your greens.
Keep harmful UV rays out of your eyes with this pink pair.
Go for a Matrix vibe with this thin design that still has sporty wraparound lenses.
Can't go wrong with a simple black pair.
This shield shape ensures your eyewear is the focal point of any look.
The color of these sporty sunnies is stunning.
Buy: Dramatic Duster CoatsSkip: Leather Blazers
The next time you have the urge to add yet another leather blazer to your closet, get yourself a dramatically long coat instead. They are the outfit, and you'll be much more bundled up when the temperatures start dropping.
What winter dreams are made of.
This plaid one looks like a wearable blanket.
You'll get so much wear out of this coat this season.
Keep yourself toasty in this wool style.
Add some pattern in the form of herringbone.
This structured double-breasted maxi coat is one you'll have in your wardrobe forever.
Buy: Carpenter JeansSkip: Skinny Jeans
You might have long abandoned your skinnies, but if you're still holding on to yours, consider trying a pair of roomy carpenter jeans. The contrast stitching, hammer loops, and extra pockets give a utilitarian feel to your look and add extra details to your denim.
If you want ones with a slight flare at the hem, look no further.
Can't beat the pockets on these pants.
These are so cool.
This color is so good for winter.
The slouchy shape makes these a must.
Bet you don't have a pair of jeans quite this good.
Buy: Metallic HeelsSkip: Sky-High Platforms
This was the year for platforms, but if you're looking for an equally striking shoe trend that gives you height, get yourself metallic heels. They're still a neutral and go with any outfit you put together. Plus, they have a bit more pizzazz than brown or black ones and would be great for any holiday parties you have coming up.
Still can't get over these.
A safer choice if you're not great with heights.
These are everything.
These heels feel special.
The double strap across the toes keeps them extra secure.
For a little gold action, give these babies a whirl.
Buy: Knee-Length SkirtsSkip: Miniskirts
Miu Miu made the pleated mini the ultimate trend this year. If you've stocked up on enough of the shorter skirts and are looking for something that feels a little more new, midi skirts are something I've seen pop up in the NYC street style scene—column styles are dominating, or try pleats over pants if you're more daring.
Elegant yet edgy.
A black skirt that's anything but boring.
The perfect mid-length skirt does exist.
Wear on repeat.
So versatile.
This texture is so chic.
Buy: Snoods and BalaclavasSkip: Berets
For winter headwear, NYC girls are all about snoods to keep their noggins warm. You might still see berets appear while you're out, but rest assured, snoods and balaclavas will only continue to rise in popularity. You better get in on them now.
Frame your face with this ribbed design.
Wrap your head in this cashmere snood and you'll look like pure luxury.
This ribbed one works as both a scarf and a snood when you unroll it.
Love this rusty color.
The minimal stripe on this cream style is irresistible.
