20 Nordstrom Anniversary Fashion Deals Editors Are Shopping This Year

“Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links.”

This year’s Nordstrom Anniversary Sale includes nearly 6,000 items, so it’s totally okay if you feel a tad overwhelmed at first glance (hopefully, in a kid-in-a-candy store way). If you’ve shopped the retailer’s annual blowout before, you already know that the best Nordstrom Anniversary sale clothing deals sell out fast, especially since Nordy Club members get early access.

Sign in to your Nordstrom account before you start shopping so you a.) determine your Nordy Club status and the first day you’re eligible to shop, and b.) save your favorites to your wishlist for speedy checkout when you get access. Here’s a quick refresher of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2024 dates:

I live to pester my coworkers about what’s in their carts, so I’ve consulted the girlies and compiled this convenient little list of the best Nordstrom Anniversary Sale deals on the collective team Cosmo wishlist. Read: the ones we’re actually shopping for ourselves, dropping in our coworkers’ Slack DMs, and sending in group chats with our friends and fam bc they’re *that* good.

Booty Boost Yoga Pants

Spanx doesn’t call these yoga pants ~booty-boosting~ for nothing. They’re cut from smoothing fabric with a curve-enhancing flare leg and a contoured waistband that’s flattering in all the right places. Don’t be surprised if you suddenly *need* to take a selfie after you first put them on.

“I bought these during [the last] Anniversary Sale and just came back to buy another pair. They’ve become my go-to leggings for both athleisure and the gym,” writes one Nordstrom reviewer. “These suck everything in and give the BEST shape. They honestly function similarly to shapewear but without feeling constricted.”

550 Sneakers

Analyzing trends is a huge part of my job, and I can say with confidence that Swifties are obsessed with New Balance 550 sneakers. They became a hot ticket item the second the internet saw Taylor Swift wearing them to a Chiefs game, and have been an Eras Tour outfit staple ever since. Needless to say, all three colorways included in the Nordstrom Anniversary sale will sell out FAST.

Large Le Pliage Recycled Nylon Tote

“Call me basic, but I swear by my Longchamp tote for work. It holds a shocking amount of things, including my laptop and a change of shoes, so I also use it as an overnight bag for travel. I’ve had mine for over six years, and it still looks as good as new,” says Lauren Gruber, associate editor.

Good 90s Straight-Leg Jeans

“Every single Anniversary Sale, without fail, I snag a pair of (seriously discounted) Good American jeans. They have a fantastic range of sizes and fit my ~curves~ so well,” says Beth Gillette, beauty editor. “This year, I’m opting for a trendier style with these baggy mid-rise jeans, since I know I’ll wear them through the end of summer and into fall and winter nonstop.”

Micah Water-Resistant Crossbody Bag

Covering the Nordstrom Anniversary sale for years, I’ve come to learn that certain brands always sell out, and Dagne Dover is one of them. This water-resistant crossbody is practical enough for new moms and international vacations yet stylish enough for the fashion girlies to grab for a casual everyday ‘fit.

Mach 5 Running Shoes

“It’s a rare day to find Hoka sneakers on sale, and if you haven’t tried a pair of Hokas yet, the Mach 5 is a great place to start. It’s a neutral road running shoe with responsive cushioning that’s great for both performance and casual everyday wear,” says Heath Owens, senior commerce editor (and repeat marathon runner, might I add).

Houndstooth Wool Coat

“After covering the Anniversary Sale for years, I’ve noticed that the *best* deals are often on off-season styles,” shares Owens. “Case in point: this longline houndstooth Ralph Lauren coat that’s $130 off. It’s undeniably timeless and will be a winter staple for yearsss to come. Your inner rich mom is just dying to come out.”

The Dodger Ankle Wide-Leg Jeans

“I personally plan on snagging these Mother Dodger Ankle jeans while they’re nearly $100 (!!) off because the length is great for me as a shorter gal,” says editor Corrine Sullivan. Celebs like Meghan Markle, Gigi Hadid, and Emily Ratajkowiski have all been seen in Mother Denim, so the brand always sells out before the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale ends.

Explorer Rib Bodice Racerback Dress

Mark my words, workout midi dresses are the next big thing. This cheerful cornflower blue tank dress from Sweaty Betty looks just as cute with sneakers and a baseball cap as it does with a denim jacket and heeled sandals. It’s made from stretchy activewear fabric that wicks sweat fast and feels super lightweight and breathable.

Chelsea Pebbled Leather Top Handle Bag

The two words I love the hear most during Anniversary Sale time: Nordstrom exclusive. This cute little Coach handbag can’t be found anywhere else, and it’s under $200 during the retailer’s annual sale. With black, white and chestnut to choose from, the hardest part is deciding which color option to add to your cart.

The Signature Poplin Oversized Button-Up Shirt

Name a top that’s more versatile than an oversized button-up shirt—I’ll wait. This summer, my button-ups have been working overtime as a lightweight office layer (Why is the AC always blasting?) and as a coastal grandmother beach cover-up. Of all the options in my closet, these classic light blue and white stripes are the first I reach for every time.

Relaxed Fit Blazer

Wdym, you don’t have a black blazer that makes you feel like a total boss? Looks like you know what you’re buying at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. This Open Edit number has a modern oversized fit that isn’t too boxy through the shoulders or long in the arms—and, oh yeah, it’s only $50.

Arden Extra-Long Cotton Top

Run, don’t walk, if you’re a Free People fan. The brand has tons of cute tees, sweaters, jackets, jeans, and athleisure included in this year’s Anniversary Sale. This oversized long-sleeve tee looks like *exactly* what I’ll want on that first unseasonably chilly fall day.

Gazelle Bold Platform Sneaker

“My Sambas carried me through the spring, but I love a platform sneaker with shorts in the summer. I’ve been eyeing these Gazelles and have them on my wishlist so I can buy them as soon as I can access the sale,” says Ellen McAlpine, commerce editor. Those who don’t want the added height can grab the non-platform version that’s also on sale.

2mm Cubic Zirconia Tennis Bracelet

You know how the old saying goes: accessories make the outfit. This timeless tennis bracelet taps into the current tennis-core and quiet luxury trends, and it looks super cute stacked with other bracelets. Is it just me, or does it look waaay more expensive than it actually is?

Westwood Sleeveless Denim Dress

As a trend forecaster, it’s my duty to tell my friend group what to buy, and lately, I’ve been suggesting denim dresses left and right. Styles like this Rails Westwood dress tap into the Cowboy Carter craze without feeling costume-y, and they have a timeless Americana quality that’ll long outlast the current Westernwear trend. Wear it with sandals and a handkerchief headscarf now, and knee-high boots and a layering turtleneck this fall.

Fuji Off-the-Shoulder Thermal Top

This off-the-shoulder top from Free People is, as one reviewer puts it, “a cuter, sexier version of a basic black henley. Still work appropriate, but cute enough for going out.” And can we talk about the fact that there are thumb holes?! Mentally planning all my winter outfits around this top.

Farrah Kitten-Heel Pointed-Toe Slingback Pump

“One thing about me? My feet always blister, so it’s rare that you’ll catch me strutting around in a pair of heels voluntarily (especially living in NYC). These pointy-toe kitten heels are the exception,” says Daisy Maldonado, associate shopping editor. “I could walk for miles in these without ever feeling sore. No more keeping a pair of flats in my work bag for my commute home!”

Cozy Rib 3-Piece Lounge Set

Sure, this three-piece set is for “lounging,” but styled correctly, it’s cute enough to leave the house. The best part is that the tank top, cardigan, and pants can all be styled separately for even more casual outfit options. Consider it the ultimate gift for the lazy girl in your life.

Studio Luxe Pocket Bike Shorts

I will not shut up about bike shorts with side pockets. As someone who a.) hates running with a floppy fanny pack and b.) refuses to get a tan line from a phone armband, there’s no other option for summer workouts. But it’s not just the phone-sized pocket of these Zella bike shorts I’m obsessed with; it’s the supportive fabric and flattering high-rise fit, too.
