If you’ve ever felt totally uninspired by every piece of clothing in your closet or you constantly battle with your throw pillows, you’re not alone. Tastes change and fluff fades. And while we don’t condone purging and rebuilding every time this feeling strikes, we do support a revamp when the price is right. At least that’s what we tell ourselves during Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale — which we treat as an annual excuse to expand our budgets for new goodies.

Each year, Nordstrom holds a mega sale that marks down hundreds of items, from designer handbags to fan-favorite beauty products to home goods. And we’re diving deep into the discounts to deliver you the best deals.

When is the 2025 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?

This year, it runs from July 12 to August 3, so you’ll have lots of time to score deals in every category. If you’re a Nordy Club member, you get early access depending on what tier you’re in. Here are the key dates to look out for:

  • July 8-July 11: Early access for Icons
  • July 9-July 11: Early access for Ambassadors
  • July 10-July 11: Early access for Influencers
  • July 12-August 3: Sale is live for everyone

Keep in mind that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is rolling, meaning new items are added throughout the event, so you should probably bookmark the Nordstrom sale page, which you can filter by price, brand, and product type. Feeling overwhelmed? We’ve got you covered. While the event isn’t live yet, we’re marking our calendars and filling our carts now with some great items that are already on sale. Check out our favorite picks from all categories of Nordstrom’s current sale offerings, many of which will likely be discounted even further once the sale officially begins.

Rib Cashmere Travel Wrap

Nordstrom

$168 (41% off)

Katie’s number one travel hack? Always bringing a cashmere wrap with her, no matter the time of year or destination. This one is big enough to wear as a shawl if you get chilly, can be wrapped around you like a blanket on too-cold airplanes, or can even be folded up as a pillow in dire circumstances.

$100 at Nordstrom

Caslon Kick Flare Pants

Nordstrom

$70 (34% off)

A vintage kick-flare and cropped hem make these pants easy to style for the office or the weekend. Katie loves a cropped pant for her petite build, and these are sophisticated without sacrificing comfort. The stretchy fabric makes them easy to pull on and wear all day, and the fabric is thick enough that it won’t show any panty lines.

This is where cozy meets conscious. This channel-quilted twill set is crafted from 100 percent organic cotton and framed with a wide border for timeless texture, no matter what your home design style is. It’s versatile enough for any bedroom, and soft enough for every season, all while being machine-washable and planet-friendly.

Zella 7/8 Pocket Leggings

Nordstrom

$79 (37% off)

These ultra-flattering leggings are designed with sculpted seams that contour the body and a silky, high-performance fabric that feels as good as it performs. A breathable mesh layer in the waistband offers added support in the tummy area, and there are pockets on the legs to ensure your phone is always close at hand.

Naturalizer Behold Flats

Nordstrom

$135 (37% off)

Cloud-like insoles and a soft leather body create comfy flats right out of the box. They come in black, red, and warm silver, and reviewers rave about how easy they are to wear and style.

Halogen Topstitched Mock Neck Midi Dress

Nordstrom

$129 (38% off)

An A-line silhouette and contrast stitching make this an instantly chic wardrobe addition. We love that it’s simple without feeling boring, and the included belt is removable in case you’d rather go without it or add one of your own.

Sam Edelman Corduroy Collar Rain Coat

Nordstrom

$180 (36% off)

A timeless trench has a place in any wardrobe, and we love that this one has a slightly more boxy shape than others without swallowing you whole. The buttons down the front are concealed (save for the top tortoise shell one), and it’s made from a water-resistant cotton blend that will actually keep you dry.

$115 at Nordstrom

Eileen Fisher Wide Leg Pants

Nordstrom

$158 (34% off)

Pants that are sustainably made, high-waisted, and wide-legged? A trifecta. The buttery soft fabric makes these feel like your favorite pajamas, but they’re fashionable enough to be worn in public. Reviewers warn these run on the larger side, though, so consider sizing down.

$105 at Nordstrom

Longchamp Le Pliage City Cosmetics Case

Nordstrom

$115 (25% off)

We’re firm believers that even the most mundane things in your life, like makeup bags, should be a joy to use. Instead of a floppy cotton pouch that looks sad on your counter, why not invest in this easy-to-clean faux leather one you’ll use for years to come? The handle means it can be hung on the back of the bathroom door at hotels if you’re short on space, and the snap across the top ensures the zipper stays closed while it’s tucked away in your luggage or purse.

$86 at Nordstrom

Backcountry Patch Shorts

Nordstrom

$59 (32% off)

Why is it seemingly impossible these days to find a pair of shorts with an inseam longer than 3 inches that don’t come down to past your knees? These hit right at the mid-thigh area, so you’re covered without feeling like you’re toeing the line between shorts and capris. Tons of pockets make them great for wearing while you’re outside and want to keep the essentials close, and the slight stretch makes them easy to move in.

$40 at Nordstrom

Dyson V15 Vacuum

Nordstrom

$750 (25% off)

Nothing makes our hearts sing like nearly $200 off the latest Dyson model and having said model come with eight different attachments. This one is safe to use on any type of floor, has 60 minutes of run time on one charge, and it weighs less than seven pounds, so it won’t wear you out just from hauling it from one room to another. If you’ve been holding out on buying a high-tech vacuum, now is the time to splurge.

$560 at Nordstrom
