1. **Nordstrom Cashmere**
"Nordstrom cashmere is always at the top of my list, and I tend to pick up a style or two each year. You'll discover fantastic basics such as an oversized cardigan, a simple crew neck, and even a travel wrap. The prices are fantastic, and the quality is remarkable."
2. **Suede and Leather Jackets**
"Suede and leather jackets are versatile for any season, and this year, I recommend looking for a stand collar design. They are incredibly stylish and pair perfectly with your favorite jeans."
3. **Denim**
"If you only buy one item from the NSale, investing in a new pair of jeans is a smart choice. You’ll find the top brands and the latest styles that will carry you into the new season and beyond. My favorites include Mother, Paige, and Pistola."
4. **Beauty Buys**
"There are countless beauty sets available, ranging from skincare to fragrances to makeup. You get great value, with savings on offer, making it a perfect opportunity to try something new or replenish your essentials."
5. **Boots**
"I always suggest purchasing boots early in the season for a longer wear period. This year, think about knee-high boots—they look fantastic when paired with a midi dress. I also recommend having a basic daily boot that you’ll use consistently once the weather changes."
6. **Luggage**
"I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of luggage sets included in the sale this year. I always advise looking for colors other than black, so you can easily spot your bag at baggage claim."
7. **Coats/Jackets**
"The best investment you can make is a classic coat for your wardrobe. Whether it’s a relaxed trench or a belted style, choose something that appeals to you. There are many excellent styles available this year."
8. **Accessories**
"The accessory highlights include designer sunglasses, affordable statement jewelry, and versatile handbags that you can pair with any outfit."
