The Best Items From the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
1. Nordstrom Cashmere
“Nordstrom cashmere is always a top recommendation, and I always pick up a style or two. You’ll find great basics like an oversized cardigan, a basic crew, and even a travel wrap. The prices are so good, and the quality is amazing.”
2. Suede and Leather Jackets
“Suede or leather jackets work any time of year, and this year I’d suggest finding a stand collar style. Super chic and perfect with your favorite jeans.”
3. Denim
“If you only buy one thing from the NSale, a new pair of jeans is the best place to start. You’ll find all the best brands and new styles that will take you into the new season and beyond. My favorites are Mother, Paige, and Pistola.”
4. Beauty Buys
“There are so many beauty sets, everything from skincare to fragrance to makeup. You get a great value—there’s always a savings, and it’s a good excuse to try something new or stock up on your favorites.”
5. Boots
“I always recommend getting boots early in the season, because you’ll have a longer wearing season. This year, consider a knee boot—so stylish with a midi dress. I’d also recommend a basic everyday boot, something you’ll wear every single day once the weather changes.”
6. Luggage
“I was so surprised at how many luggage sets are on sale this year. I always recommend looking for something that isn’t black—you’ll spot it immediately in baggage claim.”
7. Coats/Jackets
“The single best investment you can make is a classic coat in your wardrobe. It can be anything from a relaxed trench to a belted style—anything that catches your eye. There are some great styles to choose from this year.”
8. Accessories
“Highlights in the accessory department include designer sunglasses, affordable statement jewelry, and handbags that you’ll wear with everything.”
