Winter can be especially challenging for retirees navigating icy sidewalks, dry air, and chilly temperatures. Staying warm and comfortable becomes more than just a preference — it’s crucial for overall well-being. Thankfully, savvy shoppers can score essential winter gear at discounted prices. Here are six top picks from Nordstrom Rack to help retirees beat the winter blues:
Combatting Winter Skin Dehydration
First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream ($18.00 – $38.00)
As we age, our skin naturally produces less oil, leaving it vulnerable to dryness worsened by indoor heating and cold winds. This ultra-repair cream is a lifesaver for sensitive or dry skin. It’s formulated to strengthen the skin barrier, protecting against environmental aggressors while intensely moisturizing – perfect for combatting winter’s drying effects.
Staying Warm with Style
Michael Kors Wool-Blend Coat ($99.97; regularly $300.00)
A warm coat is non-negotiable during winter months, and this Michael Kors wool-blend option checks all the boxes. Offering warmth without bulkiness thanks to its blend of wool and polyester, it comes in four colors to suit different tastes. The knee-length cut provides ample coverage against chilly air, while front pockets keep hands toasty.
Safe Footing on Slippery Surfaces
Sorel Snow Boots ($59.97; regularly $120.00)
Ice and snow create treacherous footing for anyone, but seniors are particularly vulnerable to falls. These Sorel snow boots offer both warmth and safety. The insulation keeps feet cozy in subzero temperatures, while a grippy tread provides excellent traction on slick surfaces.
Luxurious Warmth
Nordstrom Rack Cashmere Scarf ($39.97; regularly $99.00)
Cashmere’s reputation for luxury isn’t just about its feel – it’s also incredibly warm without the weightiness of bulkier knits. This cashmere fringe scarf from Nordstrom Rack is a versatile addition to any winter wardrobe, offering warmth and style in over 10 colors and patterns.
Hands That Stay Warm
Adidas Cold Weather Gloves ($19.97; regularly $23.00)
Frostbite can be a serious concern when hands are exposed to prolonged cold. These Adidas cold-weather gloves offer crucial protection, with insulating materials to keep fingers warm during outdoor activities or commutes. They also feature touchscreen compatibility and grippy palms for convenience and safety.
Cozy Comfort at Home
Ugg Slippers ($74.97; regularly $90.00)
Cold floors can make even indoor spaces feel drafty and unpleasant. These Ugg scuff slippers offer luxurious warmth without sacrificing style. The plush wool-blend lining mimics the feel of shearling, making them ideal for keeping toes toasty while relaxing at home.
By stocking up on these practical and stylish items from Nordstrom Rack, retirees can not only stay warm but also maintain their independence and enjoy the winter months to the fullest.
