The new year calls for a new wardrobe. Whether you want to channel the latest winter fashion trends or take a page from PureWow editors' book and make satin skirts a part of your capsule wardrobe, you can do so while saving big with the help of Nordstrom Rack. From Dec. 20 through Jan. 2, you can score an extra 25 percent off clearance items during the monster Nordstrom Rack Clear the Rack Sale, just in time to ring in 2025.

Not sure how you want to refresh your look for the new year? No worries. I've scoured the entire sale and hand-selected the best finds for you to add to your cart (and closet) ASAP. Just know that these ten items—including the Levi's Ribcage Bells jeans ($80; $60) and Love By Design Iris dress ($108; $48)—are almost certainly going to go fast, so you better get to shopping. 2025 style, here we come!

A new pair of staple jeans should be on everyone's list of things to buy for the new year, and since you can currently grab this style at an almost unheard of price, I wouldn't wait to scoop it up. Not only are these figure-hugging and high-waisted jeans constructed from soft stretch denim, but the faded wash is guaranteed to look good through every season, so don't be surprised if they remain your go-tos well into 2025.

Dying for a new pair of *leather* Chelsea boots to rock with jeans, dresses and everything in between? Look no further than these PureWow reader-favorites. They feature the style's signature elastic goring on both sides, along with a thick lug sole for ultimate walkability in any weather. That contrast stitch detailing? Just an extra-edgy touch that makes 'em look extra-expensive, IMO. And my fellow petite gals might like to know that they have a 1.5-inch heel, so you can stand a little taller without sacrificing comfort (or practicality).

I think most of us can agree: You can never have too many sweaters in your winter wardrobe rotation. So I suggest scooping up this versatile style in as many colors as possible while it's marked down to as low as $28. After all, there's a high chance it's as soft and cozy as it looks since it's made of a cotton, nylon and polyester knit blend. And when will a textured cable-knit crewneck not be in style? Short answer: Never!

Heritage-inspired quilted jackets have been all the rage this year, and I have a feeling they won't be going away anytime soon. Needless to say, you better act fast if you want to score this take on the trendy outerwear for less than $100. Featuring traditional diamond quilting as well as an uber-flattering silhouette, this number will become your bestie for the remainder of winter. Not to mention, it has a stand collar and front zip closure with snap storm placket to keep you feeling nice and toasty.

5. Love By Design Iris Dress

Love By Design

Picture you in this flowy maxi dress paired with cute pumps and blingy jewelry at a on New Year's Eve party or winter wedding, and I bet you'll be sold. Or you can let this buyer convince you: "I have a long torso, big chest and shoulders, and am round around the middle, and this fits comfortably and with room to spare. The waistband actually hits at the waist, which never happens for my size." Sounds to me like it'll fit in all the right places *and* make you feel like a million bucks next year. Add in the fact that it's machine-washable? Um, I'll take every color, please!

If your New Year's resolution is to spend less money on shoes, start with these Koolaburra by Ugg slippers that cost a fraction of the price of other Uggs. TBH, the only real difference between these genuine suede cuties and pricier pairs is that these have a faux fur lining (which should nevertheless be just as plush). But I'll let one reviewer tell it: "Absolutely adorable and super comfy! I love that I got Koolaburras at a really good price and that the platform is super comfy to wear out!" Yep, that's right. You can wear these babies indoors and outdoors, no problem.

PureWow fashion guru and editorial assistant Courtney Mason swears that a silk or satin skirt is super easy to incorporate into your capsule wardrobe. So if I were you, I wouldn't waste any time before snagging this number, which isn't just the perfect midi length, but also happens to be up for grabs in multiple colors. Its flowy polyester and spandex fabric drapes beautifully and has a stunning sheen, while its A-line silhouette means it'll keep you feeling cute and comfortable all day. Seems like the perfect skirt to me, especially now that it's up for grabs for less than $40!

There's nothing better than slipping into some cozy PJs after a long day. Not only is this beloved set on-trend for the new year—because, uh, haven't you heard? Leopard print is in—but it's also made of a soft rayon/spandex blend, so it's sure to be soft, silky and breathable for all of you hot sleepers out there. "Seriously the [comfiest] and [softest] jammies! They run a little large and wash up nicely, too," says one reviewer. Though you should avoid drying them to avoid any shrinking, you can bet they're worth the extra hanger.
