My aunt is the epitome of winter chic. From oversized cashmere sweaters to perfectly tailored overcoats, she has a natural ability to transform the simplest pieces into statement-making ensembles. Her knack for curating a timeless wardrobe has shaped my own shopping technique, and every season  I await her picks so I can follow her lead. As she did for fall, she’s turning to our favorite one-stop-shop retailer, Nordstrom, for her cold-weather essentials. This go around, she’s gravitating toward luxe layers and cozy textures from brands like Coach, her personal fave, AllSaints, and Paige. Naturally, I’m taking notes—and adding to my cart.:

AllSaints Hadley Metallic Satin Slipdress

$229 at Nordstrom

The holidays are in full swing, and my aunt said this AllSaints Hadley Metallic Satin Slipdress is perfect for both Christmas and New Year's. It can also be used as a base layer under sweaters to give the appearance of a skirt. It comes in three metallic shades: red, gold, and gray, and it has a drapey cowl neckline and a silhouette that falls effortlessly along the body.

Coach Raquel II Knee-High Boot

$245 at Nordstrom

My aunt lives in boots during the winter, and while her collection is already stacked, she said she needs these knee-high boots from Coach. They come in a sleek black or brown option, and feature a short 2.5-inch heel, gold-plated hardware, and a side zipper with an elastic gore for easy on and off. Plus, they’re on sale for 30 percent off.

Mango Traviata Tie-Belt Wool Blend Coat

$210 at Nordstrom

While it doesn’t get super cold in California, my aunt likes to keep a quality coat on hand for chillier days and when she’s traveling, and at the moment, she has her eye on this classic wool blended coat from Mango. The all-black trench includes a belt to cinch at the waist and is fully lined for added warmth. It also has two side seam pockets, a back for ease of movement, and a length that hits at the midcalf.
