In a sea of predictable Prime Days, Cyber Mondays, and Memorial Days, a few genuinely exciting events stand out for savvy sale-hunters — and one of those hallowed markdowns is Nordstrom Rack’s Clear The Rack sale, where the off-price retailers chops an extra 25% off their already deeply discounted clearance section. Like Nordstrom Rack itself, the event is full of surprises; cropping up periodically with little advance notice and teeming with buyable bargains from beloved in-house brands like BP. and Z by Zella, respected standbys like Ugg, Allsaints, and Hobo, and a slew of designer brands that prefer that their discounted duds keep a low profile. Ahead, we’re answering all your burning questions about the three-day sale (which ends on March 27) and rounding up the need-to-cart goods to consider.
What’s on sale at Nordstrom’s Clear The Rack Sale?
Much of the fashion, beauty, home goods, and tech accessories that have trickled down from Seattle-based retailer’s inventory to the discount floor will be available on ultra-sale in the coming days. If you can find it at Nordstrom, chances are you can find it at Nordstrom Rack.
What are the best deals at Nordstrom’s Clear The Rack sale?
Nordstrom Rack boasts an enviable mix of markdowns that previously passed through the hallowed aisles of its big-sister store, along with some Rack-only goods that skipped the line and proceeded straight to the digital discount destination. Everything in the shop’s last-chance clearance section is marked down an additional 25% during the limited time sale.
How long will Nordstrom’s Clear the Rack sale last?
While the event isn’t by any means a flash in the pan, blink and you will miss it — the sale, which started today, March 24, will end on March 27. You only have three short days (or 72 sweet hours) to take advantage of these markdowns.
