The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is back! And if you love a good deal on quality pieces, this is the event to watch. Whether you’re stocking up on staples, refreshing your wardrobe, or just browsing for fun, I’ve got you covered.
In this guide, I’m sharing everything you need to know: my honest thoughts on the Nordstrom Card, smart shopping tips to help you make the most of the sale, and of course, a curated list of what I recommend and what’s sitting pretty on my own wish list.
But first, here’s what you need to know about this year’s sale:
A Few Words on the Nordstrom Card
I want to emphasize that there’s absolutely no pressure to open a store credit card. While the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale does offer early access to cardholders, it’s important to remember that you can still take part in the sale without one.
Before Shopping the Sale
Before you start adding anything to your cart, take a pause and do a little prep work. It’ll make your shopping more intentional and way less overwhelming.
First, set a budget. Take an honest look at your finances and decide how much you can comfortably spend on clothes and essentials for the season. A great deal isn’t great if it puts you in a tough spot later.
Next, make a shopping list. Go through your wardrobe, try on pieces you haven’t worn in a while, and take note of what’s missing or what needs updating. Then make a list.
And if your budget doesn’t cover everything on your list? That’s okay. Pick a couple of items that are priorities. Then shop for those essential items first.
Pro Tip: Add items you want to purchase to your Nordstrom Wish List before the sale starts. Then, when the sale opens, just add the items to your cart.
What to Shop for During the Nordstrom Sale
One of the best parts of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is that it’s a pre-season sale, meaning you can grab brand-new fall and winter staples at a discount before the season even starts. Think jeans, everyday boots, cozy coats, and layering pieces you’ll reach for on repeat.
It’s also a great time to stock up on beauty essentials. From jumbo sizes of your go-to products to limited-edition value sets, there are always standout deals in the beauty section worth checking out.
