My mom is a creature of habit. While she loves shopping, she often reaches for the same pieces year after year. But many of her fall and winter go-to’s have run their course; fluff is coming out of her puffer, her boots are scratched and peeling, and she has a few gaps in her closet she’d like to fill with the holidays underway. That’s where I come in as her personal shopper: I took to our favorite retailer, Nordstrom, and curated a capsule of seven essential items that’ll get her through all of her upcoming holiday outings and winter activities. 

Shop 7 Nordstrom Winter Clothing Essentials: 

Gallery Double-Breasted Peacoat

My mom has worn the same puffer coat for five years. It’s not super dressy, so she can’t wear it to a nice holiday dinner, and the filling is busting out of the seam. She has been hunting for the perfect coat that needs to be girl’s night-approved and date night-ready. So, I’m adding Gallery’s Double-Breasted Peacoat to her Nordstrom cart.

The peacoat comes in a black-and-white herringbone print and sizes S through XL. There’s a button-front closure, stand collar, four front-welt pockets, and a full lining for added insulation. It has a contoured, slim fit that falls a few inches below the hips.

Tommy Hilfiger Imiera Faux-Leather Ankle Boot

My mom’s favorite brand is Tommy Hilfiger, and she’s been wanting to add a pair of ankle boots to her winter shoe rotation, so when I saw Tommy Hilfiger’s Imiera Faux Leather Ankle Boots, I knew it was a match made in heaven. Sizes 5 through 11 come in four colors: black, light brown, dark brown, and navy. The boots have a faux leather exterior, 1.5-inch heel, side-zip closure, and a gold-toned decorative buckle featuring the brand’s logo.

Reiss Lara One-Shoulder Long-Sleeve Sweater Dress

My mom loved the off-the-shoulder top I bought from Nordstrom a few weeks ago, but said she felt it was a bit too young for her, so I went on the hunt for a shoulder-baring dress or top she could feel confident in. She stopped me mid-scroll when I came across the Reiss Lara One-Shoulder Long-Sleeve Sweater Dress.

The chic black dress comes in sizes XS through XL. With the option to be worn draped off one shoulder or both, it has a loose blouson-style top and a closer fit down the sleeves and skirt, hitting a few inches above the knee. The ribbed stretchy fabric allows for a bit of give, making it great for a fancy dinner. For a more casual look, this off-the-shoulder sweater gives off the same effect.
