One of my favorite parts of being a shopping writer is spotting pieces that deliver full designer energy without the splurge. And after browsing through Nordstrom’s winter assortment, I realized it’s filled with those elevated, expensive-looking styles that always get compliments. After looking through all the Black Friday week markdowns, I found a few standouts that practically begged to be added to my cart.
Below, I rounded up 17 of the best winter fashion gems at Nordstrom that genuinely had me doing double takes. Highlights include 50% off this leopard maxi dress, 50% off the standout knit sweater and 40% off these BaubleBar hoop earrings that could fool anyone into thinking you shop designer. And unbelievably, some of these picks are marked down up to 85% off — happy shopping!
