29 Minimalist Finds I’m Shopping in Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale December 2025

It feels like everyone in New York City has the flu right now, but I’ve been bitten by a bug of a different kind this winter. After spending months touting my anti-minimalist stance, I have a sudden hankering to strip away the color from my closet in favor of easy-to-style neutrals. But rather than toss out everything I own and start fresh, I’m using Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale to bolster my collection of minimalist fashion finds.

I blame Fashion Editor Lauren Tappan, whose stylish outfits I see parading around Marie Claire’s Manhattan office every week. I’ve studied her go-to outfits and pulled this list of 29 finds from the sale that emulate her cool, pared-down vibe. The deals, running until January 5, offer massive savings on everything I need, from cashmere knits to chic boots and sneakers. Consider my style problems solved.
