We’re fully embracing summer… and all the seasonal sales (from Prime Day to Lululemon’s Summer Scores event), so of course we’re ready to jump on Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale. The reader-favorite retailer’s annual sale officially starts on July 12 — but Nordy Club members get early access now — featuring covetable styles at major discounts (and they don’t stay in stock for long).
Now’s your chance to preview Refinery29 editors’ favorite picks to help you build a wishlist and add said favorites to cart ASAP. To help you focus on truly killer summer fashion finds, we’ve curated the best summer dresses from Nordstrom’s sale section.
This year, Nordstrom’s dress sale has you covered for every occasion — from casual days and vacations to work and beach weddings — with styles as low as $34. Expect denim dresses, wedding-ready looks, shirtdresses, sweet milkmaid silhouettes, and summer-to-fall options that do the most (in a good way).
Alongside Nordstrom’s own brands like Zella and Open Edit, you’ll find other favorites like Madewell, Paige, and Frame in the mix. Dive in and refresh your summer wardrobe with these can’t-miss deals and bestsellers from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
All linked products are independently selected by our editors. If you purchase any of these products, we may earn a commission.
