The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is one of the biggest sales events of summer. When you can access it depends on whether you are a Nordstrom club member or not. Take a look below at what to expect from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale as well as the most timeless, stylish clothes, shoes and accessories that are already discounted.
What to expect from the Nordstrom anniversary Sale in 2024
Everyone has access to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale from July 15th. But if you’re a Nordstrom cardholder, you can shop as early as July 9th, depending on your status. If you want early access without a Nordstrom credit card, it’s worth joining the Nordy Club, Nordstrom’s loyalty program, as it’s free to join and, depending on how many points you have, you can get rewarded with earlier sale access.
The best brands to look out for in the Nordstrom Anniversary sale
You’ll find there are more than 100 brands in the Anniversary Sale. We’re expecting to see Barefoot Dreams, Good American, MOTHER, BOSS, Halogen, Vince Camuto, Kate Spade New York, Marc Fisher LTD, Tory Burch, SARTO by Franco Sarto and Stuart Weitzman.
Even before the sale officially starts, keep checking because you can usually preview the sale items and start a wishlist.
Why the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is worth shopping
While there are Nordstrom sales at other times of year, the Anniversary Sale is different as you can actually purchase new Fall items at a discount, rather than it simply being past season items.
So, you can look for timeless winter coats, blazers, knitwear and shoes, along with clothes you would wear now. That way, you can create capsule wardrobes for the rest of year, at a discount.
Getting ready for the sale
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is always incredibly popular, so I’d recommend taking a look at the preview to plan what you want. That way, you can ensure that you aren’t making a snap decision so your sales purchases will see you through the rest of the year, and beyond, and will go with other items you have in your closet.
What is the difference between Nordstrom half yearly sale and anniversary sale?
Nordstrom’s half-yearly sale is a great time to pick up bargains, but it is usually smaller than the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. The thing we love most about the Anniversary Sale is that you can pick up discounts for all seasons, including markdowns on new season items.
What are the annual sales at Nordstrom?
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is where to shop for Nordstrom’s big annual event, although you’ll find smaller sales throughout the year.
Does Nordstrom restock sold out items during an anniversary sale?
Things sell out quickly during the anniversary sale, but yes some items are restocked, particularly if they are new season. And, of course, there are always returns so you may find that something is sold out one day but available the next.
Do you have to have a Nordstrom card for an anniversary sale?
You don’t need a card, but if you do have one, you will get early access to the sale.
What should you buy in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?
They key is not to buy anything just because it is discounted. This about what you need now. But also think ahead to the next season as the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is a good opportunity to pick up new season pieces at a discount.
40+style’s favorite items
Now, let’s take a look at some of the sales clothes, shoes and accessories we have our eye on that are already discounted.
