As a fashion editor I'm often asked what the best retailers are for a closet refresh, and thanks to the sheer amount of choice on offer, it has to be Nordstrom.
With brands ranging from Mango, COS and River Island through to Reformation, Madewell, and even super high end labels like Jimmy Choo and Gucci, it's hard to know where to start.
That's where I come in. Here are the 15 items I've hand-picked to help revamp your winter capsule wardrobe. And if that's not enough for you, there's plenty more for you to check out. Due to the vast - and I mean vast array of brands and products on the website, filters will be your best friend in the Nordstrom sale section. American clothing brands like Open Edit, Treasure and Bon and Good American should all be your first port of call.
Want to know the best news? Nordstrom is offering some huge discounts for Black Friday. We're not just talking 10% off here. I'm impressed by how many items are 30, 40 or even 50% off...

Is there anything that says Quiet Luxury better than a sleek pair of leather loafers? In burgundy - the colour of the season - you won't regret buying these LK Bennett beauties.
Nordstrom Black Friday sale: coats
This coat will make even the most hastily thrown on outfit feel so put together. The tie belt nips you in at the waist, giving you shape even with the chunkiest sweaters underneath. The neutral color is spot on, and I really can't believe my luck, finding such a great coat in the sale at this time of year!
Outerwear for this time of year has to be practical, but it can also be stylish. Rains is one of the best brands around for chic waterproofs, and this belted jacket will help you dodge any showers in style.
I've been looking for the perfect camel coat for what feels like years now, and this minimalist style has got my name written all over it. Hurry, before it sells out.

Madewell really does what it says on the tin. With 10% merino wool, this cardigan will feel like a hug every time you put it on.
It's rare to find Reformation pieces on sale, and the pale blue colour of this sleeveless sweater is nothing short of stunning.

You're probably familiar with Good American jeans, but did you know Khloe Kardashian's brand is amazing for tailoring too? These black pants need only a simple t-shirt and a leather belt to look seriously stylish.
Wide leg jeans are everywhere right now, and Rag & Bone is one of the best denim brands in the business. All sizes from sizes 23 to 32 are currently available.
Leather pants are a must at this time of year, particularly if you're not a big fan of dresses. Team this with a crisp white shirt and a blazer.
Nordstrom Black Friday sale: accessories
This scarf has got four and a half stars, with one happy customer writing "perfect for traveling, when layering is essential, and for everyday errands. This scarf looks great with both cocktail dresses, and jeans! This is the universal, must have, accessory!"
I recently bought a necklace like this whilst on vacation and I wear it with everything. The rectangular shape of the chain links give it a really modern feel, and the length is perfect for styling with any neckline.
I can't resist a Coach bag, and this one's a Nordstrom exclusive. The neutral shade will work with everything, and it won't be in stock for much longer. Coach make some of the most affordable designer bags, and you'll treasure this one for years.
