Building a winter capsule wardrobe for 2026 felt like the right reset for the season – not as a shopping list, but as inspiration for anyone looking to refresh their closet. Whether you’re heading back to work after a long break, starting a new semester, beginning a new job, or simply craving a more intentional winter wardrobe, this edit is meant to offer ideas for every kind of day.
Instead of chasing trends, I focused on timeless staples that layer well, feel elevated, and stand the test of time. You’ll find a mix of profresh looks, casual essentials, cute sneakers, and dressier heels. Every piece in this edit is from Nordstrom, making it an easy place to explore classic pieces that work together seamlessly.
