Let’s face it: juggling a packed schedule requires a wardrobe that can keep up. Girls who love fashion know the secret to saving time and energy is having a few versatile pieces that work as well for a midday meeting as they do for a date night or drinks with friends. Nordstrom is a go-to destination for these wardrobe heroes, offering everything from tailored trousers to cozy sweater dresses that work all hours of the day. With their curated selection of stylish, high-quality pieces at a range of price points, creating a capsule wardrobe for this purpose has never been easier. Ahead, I’ll share tips and outfit ideas to create a winter capsule wardrobe that works for every part of your day – all without compromising on style.
1. Tailored Coat
Trench coats and wool blends are perfect for transitioning from desk to drinks. This brushed gray wool coat from Topshop is a standout piece – super on-trend and at an incredible price. It’s a winter wardrobe essential that’s both polished and practical.
2. Sweater Dress
Knit dresses are a winter no-brainer, and I can never get enough of them. This year, I’m switching things up with a sleeveless option like this ultra-stretchy, flattering one from Bardot. It’s versatile, cozy, and a go-to for layering.
3. Tailored Trousers
Look no further than tailored trousers for the ultimate versatile piece. They pair seamlessly with everything from casual tees to statement tops – and instantly elevate any outfit. Try a denim trouser this season for a fresh, modern twist.
4. Closed-Toe Shoes
Keep your toes warm and looks on point with closed-toe options like boots or slingback pumps. I love slingbacks for their timeless appeal – they’re not just classic but incredibly versatile, easily taking you from day to night.
5. Midi Skirt
From leather to satin to knit, midi skirts are a capsule wardrobe hero. They’re endlessly versatile, letting you mix and match for any occasion. Whether styled with a chunky sweater or a silky blouse, they’ll always feel fresh and sophisticated.
6. Statement Tops
A good statement top is essential for going from professional to party-ready. Layer it with a blazer or cardigan for the office, then lose the layers and let it shine for an evening out. It’s a wardrobe piece that does double duty with ease.
7. Textured Jacket
Faux fur and leather jackets are my go-to this season. They’re amazing for adding a bit of edge or glamour to any outfit and can take you from workweek meetings to weekend brunches and late-night outings without missing a beat.
