Nordstrom Anniversary Sale


 

 

When is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?

 

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the retailer’s biggest sale and offers brand-new products at super discounted prices. You can shop amazing deals on items like clothes, shoes, jackets, luggage, or handbags.

 

Do I need a Nordstrom credit card to shop the sale?

 

You don’t need a Nordstrom credit card to shop the sale but if you do have one, you’d normally get access to the sale before it’s open to the public during the Early Access week. 

TIP: If you want to shop for this year’s early access sale, you can apply for a Nordstrom Credit Card here. I signed up for a card online and my new card number was automatically added to my account. I got INSTANT access to the sale prices!

 

 

What products would I want to shop at the Anniversary Sale?

 

Our readers love shopping Nordstrom for their wide range of quality products and top-notch customer service policies, including an excellent return policy. This sale is a great opportunity to buy those higher-priced items you’ve been longing for all year, such as luggage, purses, jackets, shoes, and more!

 

 

How to shop the Anniversary Sale?

 

As we do every year, we will make the selection process easier for you by scoping out the entire site and sharing the best products for travel! 

However, a big tip for 2023 is to utilize the “WISHLIST” feature to easily keep track of your favorites.

If you’re planning on shopping for others during the Anniversary Sale, Wishlist allows you to search for people who have also put together a list and check out (or even send over!) what they have personally favorited. You can add up to 150 items and then organize and edit your top selections. You can even share them with family and friends so that they can get in on your list as well.

 

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has officially ended, but to get a jump start on next year, check out the 2022 top bestsellers and editor’s picks!

 

Remember to bookmark this post to catch all the deals in 2023!

Comfortable Walking Shoes

 

Shoes that are good for travel come in a variety of options for different needs and varying activities, but overall they must have one thing in common: comfort. From hiking shoes to easy-to-wear slip on sneakers, we’ve pulled together the best of the comfort shoes in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! 

Popular brands like Born, Sofft, Bzees, Mephisto, and Merrell constantly make reader must-have lists for stellar travel shoes because they’re comfortable, durable, and offer support. But they’re also stylish!

 

Besides the shoes pictured, sneakers are SO popular that we’re sharing more new favorites that are comfy and wonderful for sightseeing or excellent for a flight outfit:

Comfortable Fall and Winter Boots

 

When it comes to choosing boots for travel, comfort is the number one priority! The last thing you want is to wear shoes that hurt your feet or pinch (ouch!). Ankle boots are the most popular to pack and wear, both for their style and ease of use. Ones that slip on or have a side zip are ideal to get through security lines fast! 

If you’re traveling in cold or rainy weather, bring boots that can protect you from the elements, which is why purchasing waterproof boots is recommended. So, we’ve rounded up the best fall and winter boots from the Nordstrom sale worth adding to your capsule wardrobe!

All the brands pictured are beloved by readers, including Blondo, Ecco, Sperry, and Naturalizer. Most are waterproof as well, with the exception of Naturalizer. In cases where you might want a pair that isn’t weather treated, using waterproofing spray can do the trick! 

 

Besides the boots pictured, here are more favorites that are cute and have good traction on walking surfaces. They’d look stylish with cold-weather outfits, too:

Tumi

 

TFG readers love Tumi because their bags feature trolley sleeves and classic designs in their signature nylon fabric making them the ideal personal item that’s easy to clean and looks classy. They’re highly durable and stylish bags all-around!  

When I recently went to Europe, I consistently wished I had brought my Just in Case Packable Tote, so I would’ve had a little bit more flexibility with my packing strategy for the baby. So glad it’s on sale right now! The Tula Crossbody that was on last year, is discounted again! And if you’re interested in a duffle style, the Voyageur Dumont Duffle Bag is at a considerable markdown! For a luggage option, check this 22″ expandable spinner!

Their other popular totes and backpacks, such as the Voyageur Everyday Nylon Tote and Hilden Nylon Backpack are not on sale at the moment but watch them, because who knows, they might!

Cozy Winter Jackets

 

Tip on buying jackets: ALWAYS shop them during a sale, especially if you’ve had one on your wishlist for a while! Winter jackets are typically higher-priced items, so when they’re discounted, it’s the right time to make your wishlist item come true! To remove the guesswork, we’ve rounded up some old and new faves for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! 

Reliable jackets like North Face and Bernardo are reader staples that provide warmth and durability inside and out.  But if you prefer 100% sustainable clothing, Save the Duck is a renowned Italian brand that uses recycled materials and is animal-free. Though they’ve been around for a long time, a sale is a great way to be introduced to them!

As for Barbour, I discovered them while living in the UK and was happily surprised to discover how warm their coats are! They have been making classic waxed jackets for well over a century.

 

Besides the jackets pictured, here are more favorites that are stylish, warm, and will last for years!

 

If you want to see all the jackets discounted, review the Coats and Jackets Sale Section for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!

Moto Jackets – Splurge vs. Steal

 

For many, including myself, a moto jacket is a timeless piece that’s an absolute must in a wardrobe. In fact, I love it so much that I’d say it’s a part of my signature look. With the mild weather in Los Angeles where I’m from, it also seemed to be a go-to year round layer for other Angelenos, too. With regards to travel, I’ve also seen this style popular in other large cities such as London and Paris as well.

In this year’s Anniversary Sale, there’s a wide range of options on sale, both faux or vegan leather and genuine leather, too.

If you love a moto jacket as much as me and are looking to finally make that much wanted investment, I absolutely adore All Saints. It’s a British brand with edgy, stylish designs and beautiful supple leather. It’s generally priced over $500 so I waited for a big sale to take the plunge on mine. I own the Dalby Leather Biker Jacket, which is available at the All Saints site, but the best selling Balfern is currently on sale at Nordstrom! I’m SO tempted by the Grays from Reiss, but it’s currently out of stock–here’s a similar style from Ralph Lauren. The style is everything!

Oddly enough, I find that a faux leather jacket actually sits nicer on the body because the materials tend to be lighter and less bulky. The key is to look for one with materials that don’t look too cheap. 

The Caslon Leather Moto Jacket seems to offer a good balance of leather with a nice weight to it and solid-looking hardware. Alternatively, the Heartbreaker Jacket by Free People looks lightweight and stylish, too! For a tried and tested best seller on sale, our readers love this Blanknyc Vegan Leather Jacket— It’s also available in plus sizes 1X-3X!

Kiehl’s Ultimate Strength Hand Salve | T3 Luxe Brush Set | T3 Lucea 1″ Styling Iron | T3 Singlepass 1.25″ Ceramic Curling Iron | Drybar Blowout SetT3 Aireluxe Hair Dryer (similar)

 

Beauty

 

While beauty products can run the gamut from inexpensive to higher-priced, if you love a little bit of luxury in your travel regimen, T3 Hair Tools are on sale again, as they were last year!

Readers talk about their products constantly, which encouraged me to buy the 1-inch T3 Lucea Straightener myself. Love how it keeps my hair under control and looking smooth, and because I’m so happy with this product, I’ve considered buying the Aireluxe Hair Dryer (similar) use every day vs. for traveling.

If you want a different hair look while on the road, the Drybar Blowout Essentials Set seems really fun, and is at a fantastic discounted price. Also a set of full-size hair care products plus a jumbo size of the best-selling No 3 Hair Perfector to help reduce breakage and visibly strengthen hair.

A set featuring a mini Facial Toning Device, expertly designed to help tone, lift and contour skin at home. I already own this, but I know it’s super popular and with a higher price tag, I didn’t want any Nu Face fans to miss out if they were interested in adding it to their beauty arsenal too.

And, hands! My hands get so dry while traveling, whether on the plane or when landing in a new climate. Kiehl’s Since Hand Salve is small enough to keep in a personal carryon item!

Zella Clothing

 

Zella is a long-time popular brand with readers for their comfortable, soft clothing that works super well for flight outfits or exploring a new destination. Their Live In High Waist Leggings are the #1 leggings as voted by readers!! They’re cozy, stretchy, and never ride down at the waistband. They come in regular sizes and plus sizes

The Live In Pocket Joggers are another big seller and could be in the running to replace leggings altogether! They are also available in regular sizes and plus sizes. To top off your flight outfit, the Carey Jacquard Knit Funnel Neck Pullover or Live in Jogger Jumpsuit (similar) is perfectly cozy!

My Top Nordstrom Picks

 

Some of these styles are total fashion eye candy for me and others are things I want for practical daily living. I’m not sure if they’ll all make it to my final shopping cart, but these are the pieces that make my heart skip a beat!

If you haven’t noticed, I have a thing for jackets and ankle boots. I absolutely love them! The only problem is that I don’t like cold weather so they’re not very practical for my lifestyle. I have to restrain myself from buying them but when I do, I keep them forever! A good jacket and boots can last a lifetime.

From my wishlist, I’m for sure buying a gray pair of Zella Live In Leggings because these are absolutely a must-have everyday essential when it’s cold outside. 

I’ve also been on the hunt for some lightweight hiking shoes and I love that the Merrell Trail Moab Running Shoe has an understated look so it can easily work on the trail and for the gym, too. As for another everyday essential, I wanted some comfy slip on sneakers like the Naturalizer Lafayette Knit Slip Ons that I could just throw on quickly to go on my daily walks. And TFG readers have also made me a fan of Bombas Ankle Socks, so these are the perfect match for these and my other sneakers as they’ve become my go-to socks for all my sneakers.

On my recent trip to Europe, I was longing for a cute but packable day bag that could also double up as a diaper bag so I think the Longchamp Backpack and or the Tumi Amber Tote could fit the bill. I’m going to order it and also the and see how the size would work with all my and the baby’s essentials for a day out.

For the same reason, I’m also considering a larger crossbody such as the All Saints Kita Shoulder Bag. I prefer a smaller size crossbody, but it would be nice to have a little extra room for a few baby items, too.

Lastly, I wear a lot of black and love the look of the orange velvet BB Dakota Duster and the Halogen Croc Embossed Faux Leather Blazer for an unexpected statement layer over an easy-to-wear all-black outfit. I’m also eying for the Reiss Moto Jacket but currently it’s out of stock. For the same reason, I’m so in love with the Sam Edelman bootie in the burgundy color, and Quay Sunglasses (similar) another statement piece for a neutral look. 

And underneath it all, my favorite and most comfortable travel underwear is a microfiber thong so I’ve got my eye on the Commando Classic Microfiber Thong and Hanky Panky Print Regular Rise Thong. When I used to work in the fashion industry, I was a sales rep for a high-end Italian lingerie brand so let’s just say I gained an appreciation for the longevity of good quality underwear.

Loveapella Maxi Dress

 

Loveapella Maxi Dress

 

Another item that everyone in the TFG group seemed to be talking about this year is this Loveapella Maxi Dress. While I prefer knee-length dresses and don’t love jersey dresses for travel, with so many rave reviews from the readers, I had to get this myself. And I was pleasantly surprised! Unlike many jersey fabrics, this one was very lightweight, which is a major plus for travel, especially for a maxi dress that has a lot of fabric. 

I ordered the petite small and was also shocked that it actually fit my 5’2” height without dragging on the floor. In fact, it was almost too short for my liking, but I bought the purple color, which is beautiful for the seaside – so it’s a keeper for me and a top reader pick, too! 

If it fits too low in the cleavage for your liking, take the dress to the dry cleaners and have them take it in at the shoulders for a higher fit, or use one of these cleavage covers

Spanx Faux Leather Leggings

 

I CANNOT get enough of my Spanx leggings, and these were a huge draw in last year’s sale (pssst, so nab them ASAP)! They’re so stylish and ultra-versatile for travel. They can be dressed up for a night on the town or down for a low-key look during the day. However I decide to wear them, I always feel and look put together.

They look leather but don’t act like it, which means they’re not stiff, thick, and hot. They’re breathable and extremely comfy, especially on long-haul flights. I’ve worn them everywhere, including sightseeing and more!

I first bought the regular faux leather leggings until I graduated to the moto leggings (unfortunately, it’s not currently on sale), which I fell instantly in love with. I also love how they’re available in petite and regular sizes (XS-XL) and plus sizes (1X-3X), as pictured above!

Their Spanx Look at Me Now Seamless Leggings are also popular during this sale!

A.S.98 Pacey Sandal

 

Bonus Editor’s Pick: Pacey Sandals

 

I’m sneaking in an editor’s pick here because I’m excited to share these! I’m SOOOO in love with this brand, but the shoes are so expensive I’ve been waiting for these to go on sale. I was beyond myself when I saw these A.S.98 Pacey Sandals on sale, as they’ve been sitting on my wishlist for almost a year!! This is the same brand for my latest black leather boots, and the material is so subtle and beautiful that I can’t wait to check out a summer option, too. 

I’ve also ordered the A.S.98 Rhodes Sandal as these could be a nice boot alternative for dresses in hot weather.

 

Note: this is NOT a comfort brand and not recommended for travel, just for fun and fashion!
