It’s one of the most anticipated sales events of the year, and it’s right around the corner. But this year, Nordstrom is giving you more time to preview the items that will be available in its famous anniversary sale, so you can plan exactly what you want to add to your closet.
Below you’ll find clothes, shoes and accessories that you can pick up in the sale and wear for the rest of the year, and beyond!
When is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this year?
While the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale usually runs during July, this year it has been pushed back a little later and will run from August 19 to August 30. Early access for certain Nordstrom members has now started.
What to expect from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale isn’t your typical sale. Rather than pulling out unsold pieces from the back of the stockroom, you’ll find plenty of deep discounts on new season items. This makes the sale a great time to choose items for fall and special events later in the year.
Expect big discounts from brands on sale, including Chelsea28, Blondo, Eileen Fisher, Eliza J, Frye, Gentle Souls, Halogen, Kate Spade, KUT from the Kloth, Lauren Ralph Lauren, Madewell, Naturalizer, Sam Edelman, Tory Burch, Vionic and Zella.
How to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
Think about the gaps in your closet
It can be easy to make “mistakes” when shopping the sale, particularly if you are attracted by the hefty discounts rather than thinking about what you already have in your closet and what you need. Make a plan, think about what you already own and what you could add so you can create new outfits. You can preview the Nordstrom women’s sale to make planning easier.
Consider this season and the next
One of the reasons that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is so legendary is that there are new season pieces in there to choose from. It’s a great opportunity to choose items for your Fall closet as there are plenty of coats and boots to choose from.
Put it in your wish list
Because everyone has an early preview of what’s on sale this time, it makes shopping easier. You can always add anything you’re interested in to your wishlist, and then check out when the sale goes live. Nordstrom say they are constantly adding new items, so it’s worth checking back regularly.
