nordstrom anniversary sale 2026 best deals

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has earned its status as one of the absolute best sales you can shop. It’s not often that a retailer places absolutely mind-blowing discounts on brand-new arrivals. But every summer, Nordstrom does just that, giving our closets some of its most-worn pieces of all time at prices that made our wallets sing. As a fashion and beauty editor, I know the ins and outs of when it makes sense to splurge a little on investment pieces you’ll have for life. I constantly tell people that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is one of those times. If you’ve been waiting to pull the trigger on a new pair of leather boots, a cashmere sweater, or a staple bag, this sale is an excellent time to do it.

And sure, hunting for deals is fun, but you know what’s even better? Scoring discounts that someone else already vetted for you. After literal days of sifting through sale pages, I’m confident that I found the can’t-miss pieces of every category. Spoiler: From steals on timeless pieces that rarely goes on sale—hello, Rag & Bone jeans and Ralph Lauren dresses—to brand-new drops that you’ll wear for years to come, 2026’s Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has some of the best deals ever featured.

The Nordstrom Sale is officially here, and now’s your chance to take advantage of the once-a-year deals. Below, shop my very best fashion finds, from capsule-worthy sweaters to jackets you’ll have for a lifetime. Plus, browse our top 12 reader-favorite items from years past.

How Long is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?

Nordstrom credit card members get early access to the sale starting at 12:01 a.m. EST on July 14, 2026. For non-card members, the sale runs July 18-August 9, 2026. Once it is live, the sale is in preview mode for everyone. So you can start to build your wishlist no matter what tier you fall under.

Anyone can preview the sale online, but you have to be a Nordstrom credit card holder to make a purchase during early access. Cardholders get tiered access to the sale based on their “level”—basically, how much they spend on their Nordstrom credit card. Not a cardmember? You can sign up now to automatically become the Influencer level, giving you access to this year’s sale on July 16.

How to Shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: A Fashion Editor’s Best Tips

As someone who basically online shops for a living, I’ve been covering the Nordstrom Sale for over six years. And every year, there are truly gems amongst the overwhelming amount of product. Finding those gems can be difficult, which is why I did the work for you. But before you get to shopping my picks below, consider these tips that will help you make the most of the sale:

  1. Check your access tier ahead of time. This ensures that you can make the most of the sale by purchasing limited-stock or super popular items before they sell out. If you are a card member but are unsure of your “level,” sign into your Nordstrom account here.
  2. Build your Wish List (starting now!). No matter what tier of access you have to the sale, you can start browsing the preview and adding items to your Nordstrom Wish List now. That way, once you gain access to the sale, you can just move everything over to your cart rather than having to sift through thousands of products—and my list below is a great place to start. Having items in your Wish List is also a great way to monitor restocks.
  3. Take note of the after-sale price. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is special because it is one of the only sale events that marks down new arrivals. Instead of slashing prices after the season, prices are low now, and will go up when the sale is over. If you were already planning on buying a few new things for fall and winter, this is a great time to do it.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Fashion Finds Worth the Investment

Capsule-Worthy Tops and Sweaters

Sculpted-Shoulder Merino Wool Sweater
COS
Sculpted-Shoulder Merino Wool Sweater

Our editors love COS, and a 97-percent-wool sweater for $100? That’s basically unheard of (from this brand and any other). Definitely take advantage of this 50 percent off deal while you can—I have a feeling this one will sell out quickly.

Here at The Everygirl, it’s pretty obvious that we love a staple white button-down. But I’ve seen so many as a fashion editor that I often scroll right past them during sale events like this. However, the shape and tailoring of this one made me stop my scroll. It’s the ultimate easy shirt that makes you look instantly elevated and chic without having to think about it. Bonus: It’s also 100 percent cotton.

Dresses for Work and Happy Hour

Cotton Blend Midi Shirtdress

Cotton Blend Midi Shirtdress

One item that I truly don’t think you can ever have too many of in your wardrobe is an easy-to-wear dress. I have a few in my own closet that I constantly turn to when I don’t feel like thinking about what to wear. I love this particular striped shirt dress because I think you can wear it with sandals on the weekends or with ballet flats to the office.

Catlin Casual Jacket

Another item that’s been on my personal wishlist for years? A classic Barbour jacket. Even as someone who loves trends, I think that a Barbour jacket can be styled in endlessly versatile ways and is an item that you’d have in your closet for the rest of your life. And this is another brand that rarely goes on sale, so definitely take advantage of over $100 off.

Long Coat

Last winter, I added an oversized brown coat to my ever-growing outerwear collection. And let me tell you: I’m really picky about any new coats, because I simply already have too many. But I didn’t know how much I was missing a coat like this until I rented one and decided my winter wardrobe was made better with it. In fact, I was able to get rid of three coats that fulfilled similar needs with the addition of one in this style.

There were Sambas, then Gazelles, then Spezials. Meet Adidas’ latest It-Girl sneaker: the Japan. Characterized by a slimmer look and low-top silhouette, these are popping up on my Instagram and Pinterest feeds left and right. But let’s be clear: I am not saying that your old Adidas sneakers are out and you need a new pair. But if you’re interested in switching it up, this snakeskin and baby blue pair feels special and intentional.

I personally own these knee-high boots, and genuinely love them. They’re the perfect choice for fall and winter days when I want to wear a skirt or dress with knee-high boots, but don’t want to wear a heel. They’re elevated but casual enough for everyday wear, and incredibly comfortable.
