At this point you probably have your fall basics in line, but if you’re going to make it to spring in one piece, a serious winter transition is needed stat. Luckily, Nordstrom Rack has the latest trends from the brands you love just waiting for you to give them a home. The versatility of a leather jacket makes it an essential part of your fall uniform whether you're wearing denim with ankle boots or a skirt with heels. Its ability to transition from fall into winter with just the addition of a knit jumper makes it even more essential. The blanket scarf is another fall/winter must-have that we can’t wait to layer over everything. But as the season progresses—and with all the tempting winter trends to try—don’t let yourself stand out in the cold without the proper ammunition. Especially with Nordstrom Rack as your secret weapon. Get a pair of elongated gloves to stash in your bag for those frigid evenings and go big with an oversized or duvet coat that your friends won’t stop asking you about. Go ahead and let them in on the secret. With brands like Splendid, Helmut Lang, Rebecca Taylor and Vince to distract them in each department, they’ll be glad they came.
