I’m Going Neutral This Winter, But My Shopping List Is Anything But Boring

If Nordstrom is the first place you turn to when shopping for a new season, then you’ve come to the right place. (And if it isn’t the first place you usually go, allow me to convert you.) I’ve been on a major shopping kick lately—winter is around the corner, after all—so I decided to make a list of all the Nordstrom pieces I’m considering for these chillier times, and I couldn’t call myself a fashion editor if I didn’t share it with you.

Lately, the pieces that have been catching my eye are, to put it bluntly, colorless. I’m riding confidently into my “edgy-girl era,” and that means all-black outfits, silver jewelry, and generally tonal looks. But of course, there are a few colorful pieces on this list that I think are worth buying. (I mean, a winter with no color whatsoever isn’t one I want to participate in.) Keep scrolling to see my picks, and happy shopping!

A classic trouser will never fail you, and the warm mushroom tone of this popular pair is speaking to me.

This moto-inspired shearling number is the jacket equivalent of this season’s ballet-flat trend—it’s classic, versatile, and has a bit of edge when done right.

These flare jeans are the perfect neutral nod to the ’70s.

This versatile and transitional wool blazer will take me through the holidays and straight into the new year. 

Denim midi skirts are having a major moment, and I’m not one to knock a trend before trying it. 

I’m usually adverse to bold colors, but there’s something very special about this statement-making cardigan

A knit maxi dress is essential for winter. 

Who says fun and neutral have to be mutually exclusive? This sweater is both, and I’m all in. 

I wouldn’t want to snuggle up in anything else this winter. 

A chunky earring will elevate any casual outfit. 

Claw clips aren’t going anywhere. I’m already imagining wearing this with a soft oversize turtleneck and those retro flare jeans above. 

Yes, the slim belt is making a comeback. Obviously, I’m opting for black. 

New Years Eve bag, anyone? 

I love the asymmetrical detailing here. 

Winter white, but make it ultra sleek.

I know I said I’m into silver jewelry, but a little gold never hurt anyone. 

Now here’s a bag that will carry you through every season.

I’ll skip chunky lug-soles for a sleek riding boot any day. 

It’s not winter 2022 without a pair of ballet flats, and this buttery leather pair fits the bill. 

A cozy classic for a reason. 

I’ll let you in on a secret: The editors at Who What Wear consider these a really good purchase. 

Mark your calendars: Who What Wear’s Market Director Bobby Schuessler and stylist Kelly Augustine are going live to talk all things winter fashion on November 9th at 11:30 a.m. PST. See you then!
