The annual Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is on through August 3, and there are more than 6,000 deals to sort through. Whether you're already prepping for the fall or are still adding summer styles to your closet, this is one of Nordstrom's biggest shopping events of the year — and it's one you're not going to want to miss.
From discounted boots and pajamas to purses and beauty must-haves, even Yahoo editors can't resist Nordstrom's epic sale. So I picked their expert brains to find out which deals they were most excited to buy with their own cash. They came back with 20 of the very best deals the retailer has to offer on brands like Coach, Sam Edelman, Le Creuset and more.
And trust me, these are not items that'll stay in stock, so if you see something you like at Nordstrom's once-a-year event, nab it now.
Editor-approved Nordstrom Anniversary Sale deals
"I love crawling into bed every night, and matching PJs are a requirement for me. This set from Nordstrom is soft, stretchy and doesn't make me overheat. I wait for Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale to buy new colors, and this year I'm eyeing the baby blue version. It feels fresh and summer-y, and it's nice enough to lounge around the house in even if I have company. The bottoms look really short on the model in the product photos, but I promise they aren't too bootylicious."
-Jeanine Edwards, Commerce Initiatives Director
"I wore these socks on a recent trip to Disney World, where I walked 20,000+ a day — and didn't get any blisters. Amazing, right? Now, I only wear Bombas whether I'm exercising, traveling or even just running errands. They're comfy, cushioned and keep my feet cool. They are on the pricier side, so I'll be scooping up this 3-pack while it's on sale. I'm a fan of the no-show type, but they also have deals on ankle and crew socks."
-Rory Halperin, Senior Commerce Editor
"I did a wardrobe audit at the start of the year, and a ton of my old, worn-out workout clothes got the boot. I'm really lacking in the biker shorts department, which is proving to be a bit of a struggle this summer. So, I'm thrilled that these Zella shorts are part of the sale. I already own (and love) the brand's leggings and moisture-wicking tops, so I'm sure these shorts will be a win. They're the perfect length for my petite height (5 1/2" inseam), have pockets to stash on-the-go essentials and cost less than the brand's rivals (you know the ones)."
-Amanda Garrity, Gifting Editor
"Fall may be months away, but that's not stopping me from snagging these cute Dolce Vita boots while they're more than $100 off. I love traditional Chelsea boots, but I'm really into how this pair has a touch of Western flair. While these versatile boots come in black and a cow print, this classic pecan color is definitely my top pick."
-Julia Webb, Initiatives Editor
"I'm taking a late-summer trip to Europe, and I would love a casual, comfy dress like this one so that I can bop around town without feeling like a slob. The Johnny collar and curved hem give it a little more polish, and the no-fuss cotton-poly blend probably won't get too rumpled in my suitcase. I'm going to pair it with a crossbody purse and some leather sandals and be on my merry way!"
-Sandra Latham, Commerce Editor
"I'm eyeing this Le Creuset favorite because, frankly, I’ll take a Dutch oven meal over one from a Crock-Pot any day. Dutch oven cooking delivers deeper, more developed flavor, and it’s way more versatile. You can use it on the stove, in the oven, on the grill or even over coals when camping. The 4.5-quart size is perfect for small roasts or hearty stews, and I’m torn between the stunning Marseille blue and the sleek Oyster, which would blend better with my modern kitchen. Dietitian tip: Cooking low and slow isn’t just good for building flavor, it also helps preserve more nutrients."
-Kelli McGrane, Wellness Commerce Editor
"My tween is a mermaid. Unfortunately, she's averse to lotion and she refuses to fully dry off before spraying sunscreen. This reef-safe SPF 50 mist can be applied to damp skin and sprayed from any angle, so I can trust that she is giving herself good coverage. Supergoop doesn't come cheap, though: Three cans would typically cost $72 (a splurge I'm unwilling to fund). This deal brings it down to $16 a can."
-Libby Sentz, Contributing Editor
"Sam Edelman has gotten me through more Septembers than I can count. I live in my loafers once the weather cools, so I figure I should step up my shoe game with a new pair. These ones have chic details like ruching and gold hardware, but reviewers say they’re just as supportive as they are stylish. One even called them the 'most comfortable shoe, straight from the box.' I'm sold! Oh, and they're basically half off."
-Amanda Garrity, Gifting Editor
"Coach makes some of my all-time favorite leather purses, so I'm grabbing this versatile bag during Nordstrom's sale. I love that I can wear this as a shoulder bag or a crossbody, and it has plenty of room for my phone, wallet and current lip combo. I plan on bringing it on my summer vacation and using it as my new everyday purse."
-Julia Webb, Initiatives Editor
"I snapped up this easygoing, 100% cotton dress on the first day of the sale. I love the simple cut, loose fit, and cap sleeve, and it'll look great over leggings when the temps drop. It's still stocked in the vintage black shade (my fave). The cream color, however, is going fast."
-Libby Sentz, Contributing Editor
"Nature trails back up to my house, and I spend most days walking them with my dog, so I am always on the hunt for durable hiking clothes. This hoodie looks like it checks all my boxes for an essential summer shirt: It's lightweight yet has long sleeves, will cover my neck and comes in pale colors (key for tick detection and protection!). It even has thumbholes, which is the athleisure equivalent of a dress with pockets."
-Jessica Dodell-Feder, Senior Home & Garden Editor
"My trusty old Hunter rain boots have been with me since college. Now that we’re nearing the 15-year mark of being together, it might be time to pass the baton to a new pair — and I’m absolutely dazzled by this pair of Chelsea boots from the brand. They’re tall enough to protect against puddles and slush, but not so high that they suffocate my legs. I also find these to be a much more stylish alternative to traditional rain boots (and the taupe color will go with absolutely everything)."
-Izabella Zaydenberg, Deputy Editor
"I’m a total sucker for picnics. Not the romantic kind — usually it’s just me and my two kiddos — but there’s something magical about eating al fresco. A little pasta salad, some fresh veggies and the kids running wild in the grass? Yes, please. This blanket checks all the boxes: It’s stylish, folds up compactly and comes with a convenient carrying strap. The waterproof lining is a huge plus too — no stress if the grass is still a little damp from morning dew or a recent rain."
-Kelli McGrane, Wellness Commerce Editor
"The candle sales at Nordstrom right now are out of control, but if I had to choose just one, I'd spring for this Diptyque collection. We're not a big fragrance household — my husband is sensitive to scents — but he doesn't usually mind Diptyque candles, probably because they're so subtle and natural smelling. Unfortunately for me, they cost about a million dollars. But this sale is basically a buy-two-get-one-free deal, so I'm going to treat myself for my upcoming birthday. It's going to be a good-smelling year!"
-Jessica Dodell-Feder, Senior Home & Garden Editor
"I live in Los Angeles, so our winter is a very long rainy season. And when I say rainy, I'm talking about torrents of rain and atmospheric rivers (google it!). I've been wearing the same, highly utilitarian rain jacket for years. I want something longer that'll still look polished. Not only is this so classic-looking, it'll give me the extra coverage I need so that my legs are no longer exposed."
-Janelle Randazza, Senior Commerce Editor
"I know clothing, shoes, bags and beauty products are what most people stock up on during this sale, but as Yahoo's resident pro baker, I always make a beeline for the kitchen deals. This lovely set caught my eye with its charming pastel colors, and I appreciate that the baking dishes are different sizes to accommodate smaller and larger desserts (or my other favorite food group, baked pastas). The bowls are just right for holding prepped ingredients, dipping sauces or even small portions of soup or oatmeal, and as far as I can tell, this is the lowest price this set is retailing for across the web."
-Britt Ross, Senior Deals Writer
"Since I hit 40, my eyebrows have been an issue — they're thinning and super sparse. My colleague and Senior Beauty Editor Jennifer Romolini swears by this brow serum and I've been waiting for it to go on sale. She told me that she saw new growth after just three weeks (!) and, after six months of use, her eyebrows are thicker than they've ever been. I can't wait to try it for myself."
-Rory Halperin, Senior Commerce Editor
"There's always room in my closet for a cozy sweater, and this vibrant space-dye knit immediately caught my eye. It's 100% cotton, so I know it won't be scratchy, and I love the slouchy dropped shoulders. It'll be a no-brainer staple to pair with denim in practically any wash, thanks to the marled, multidimensional fabric. It would also be great with dressier trousers, some chunky earrings and maybe a low heel."
-Sandra Latham, Commerce Editor
"I've been on the hunt for an LED (light therapy) face mask for a while now, but they're all so expensive. I was excited to see this one from SolaWave — designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines, plus help combat sagginess and discoloration — on sale for more than $100 off and at one of the best prices I've seen. I'll also probably stock up on some more Patchology eye patches because there's a really good deal and I like them for de-puffing, especially while traveling."
-Kristin Granero, Senior Commerce Editor
"Barefoot Dreams products are beloved by celebs like Chrissy Teigen, Oprah and the Kardashians — the brand's pieces are so snuggly that they tend to sell out quickly even without a discount. So I'm thrilled to grab this ridiculously soft and cozy cardigan while it's just $120. It's perfect for the summer when I need something to combat the chilly AC at work. And I can’t wait to use it as my go-to layering piece when fall rolls around!"
-Rebecca Carhart, Senior Style Writer
