I Bet These 42 Chic Sweaters Will Sell Out First During Nordstrom's New Sale

New York has been freezing ever since I got back from London, and I'm right at the point where I've been wearing knits on repeat exactly long enough to be craving some chic, new options. So what a little treat that at this coziest (and most expensive) time of year, Nordstom goes ahead and has a big old sale that's positively overflowing with excellent sweaters.

I'd hate you to miss out on the best of the sale, so I've curated the under-$180 sweater styles that I'm picking will sell out first. It's all here, from cable knits to chunky turtlenecks, Fair Isle to stripes, trending cardigans to on-sale cashmere. So make like David Rose on Schitt's Creek, and begin assembling your cedar chest—you're going to need extra storage to accommodate all your expensive-looking new knits.

I blame The Row for our collective obsession with these long lines and elegant loose fits. Even if they're not made of cashmere, this style is exactly what we mean when we talk about quiet luxury.

Prada convinced me I needed more N-necks, and I haven't looked back. Particularly good in grey and red, arguably even better when you wear it like a scarf. (Also, please sign me up for that matching skirt.)

In another season dominated by chill neutrals, I'm still here to give a moment to the trippy patterns, bold colors, and chunky stripes that mix things up—even just a little.

No longer just nana-core, cardigans have transitioned to a fashion crowd staple. Pick your fighters for the season ahead: Go ultra-polished and office-ready (here for the gold buttons), slouchy and cozy, or cropped and ribbed for a little '90s energy.

Designer brands like Khaite have cemented stripes in our year-round wardrobe (as evidenced here, here, and here), whether they're leaning nautical, Parisian, or Kurt Cobain-grungy.

A moment for the key styles defining the season: Sweaters with matching scarves (that Totême coat started it), Fair Isle knits (again, we blame Khaite), and shades of brown are the ones to note—but while you're here don't skip out on half-zips and hints of metallic.

Chic Cable Knits

Nothing says 'holiday season' like a classic cable knit. These six on-trend styles are our picks for December, whether you're in the mood for a slouchy oversize fit, a collared cardigan, or a cool half-zip.
