22 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Deals Bazaar Editors Are Shopping

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

All 6,601-plus Nordstrom Anniversary Sale fashion deals are online and available to shop for just one more week. It's a moment that always grabs my attention in the annual swirl of mid-July sales. As a fashion editor who can spot a nice save hidden in the corner of a crowded discount rack, I've learned this is a sale filled with items that hardly feel like they're on sale. Nordstrom's Anniversary deals feature upcoming fall collections instead of past-season's merchandise. This is only half of why I catch other editors shopping the sale when we're supposed to be writing other stories.

The other reason Bazaar editors can't resist Nordstrom's yearly event? It's filled with brands we love and wear constantly. To make the most of this year's savings, I asked Bazaar editors to pick their favorite Nordstrom Anniversary Sale deals from this year's lineup. The final edit covers all the bases: sleek and tailored work dresses, cozy fall outerwear, denim in every cut, rise, and wash, and the best sunglasses for topping off any outfit.

Everyone can take advantage of the list we've curated, as the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is open to the public for a little while longer. You'll be dressed for the rest of summer and fall with the 22 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale editors' picks ahead, provided that they're added to your cart before the sale ends for good on Sunday, August 6. Just remember to leave a few items in stock for us.

Madrid Big Buckle Slide Sandal

"Birkenstocks almost never go on sale, so the fact that these are marked down is notable. Grab them while you can!" —Izzy Grinspan, deputy digital editor

"I’m always in a Birk in the summer. I love this beautiful ecru color–it's a warmer and easier shade to pair with jeans or any khaki short." —Miguel Enamorado, accessories director

Otis Space Dye Pullover Sweater

"I simply can't wait to cuddle up in this sweater and a pair of knit pants when temperatures drop. And for transitional weather, I'll follow Katie Holmes' lead and wear it with a white maxi skirt." —Halie LeSavage, fashion commerce editor

High Waist Washable Silk Pajamas

"I own these in navy and I cannot say enough good things about them. They feel like a dream on hot nights, and they really do hold up well in the washing machine. Mine are at least five years old and look brand new." —Izzy Grinspan, deputy digital editor

Betty 55mm Cat Eye Sunglasses

"With summer in full swing, I have been seeking the perfect pair of shades for my morning commute and sun-drenched weekends. Lately, the cat-eye shape has been grabbing my attention, and these sunglasses are a steal!" —Jennifer Jenkins, assistant accessories editor

Crewneck Wool & Cashmere Cardigan

"A perfect black cardigan is a good idea year-round. I want to get this ASAP so I can wear it on cooler summer nights, opened with a summer slip dress or tied around my neck with shorts and a T-shirt. Then in the fall, I'll keep wearing it with my Levi's 501s and a ballet flat. After all, it has the best boxy cut and the most ideal crew neckline. I'm already obsessed!" —Jaclyn Alexandra Cohen, senior fashion and accessories editor

Audrey Diamond Hoop Earrings

"I've been looking to splurge on something for my birthday in a few weeks. This pair might just be that something. I'm a sucker for a hoop earring and I love the diamond studs coating this pair." —Jennifer Algoo, visual director

Zibo Mule

"Lately, I’ve been on the hunt for zesty footwear options that aren’t just the Mary Jane flats or loafers that I typically wear. The idea of a 'statement shoe' is something I’ve long (regrettably) ignored, but this summer I think I’m ready to be proven otherwise. Which unexpected shoe choice can transform or subvert my daily uniform? Enter these studded mule offerings, complete with a comfortable two-inch kitten heel. They immediately tick all the boxes on my list: they’re fun, sexy, and unlike anything I already own." —Chelsey Sanchez, associate editor

Relaxed Faux Fur Leather Trench Coat

"To prep my closet for next season (and for less), I'm eyeing this stylish trench from Avec Les Filles, which nicely ties at the waist to help define my shape as I wear it. And since it features a built-in lining and hits below my knees, it's the perfect transition piece for summer to fall." —Tiffany Dodson, associate beauty commerce editor

Macaw Bloom Floral Dress

"Farm Rio’s statement pieces are always best-dressed-wedding guest material." —Rosa Sanchez, senior news editor

Wren Slim Fit Jeans

"What makes these jeans absolutely desirable? They're high-rise but also a little flared, so you're cinched at the waist but have a cool hemline for balance. The vintage wash feels perfectly worn in. I love the idea of pairing the raw distressed hem with the lady kitten heels I saw all over the runways. For an effortless look I would wear these with a thin, ribbed black sweater, plus silky satin bag from The Row." –Jaclyn Alexandra Cohen, senior fashion and accessories editor

Gilmore Cotton Blend Pants

"I've been on the search for a cool pair of khakis—and yes, I'm very aware that seems like an oxymoron! I'm eyeing this pair from WAYF (a very underrated Nordstrom brand) that I would wear with quality ribbed tanks and strappy heels." —Bianca Betancourt, culture editor

Airlift High Waist Leggings

"I've been living in leggings since getting a Peloton earlier this year. I'm always looking for new styles and colors to add to the rotation, starting with this lipstick red pair." —Jennifer Algoo, visual director

Calla Virgin Wool Wrap Coat

"Max Mara makes the ultimate wish-list wrap coats, and they rarely go on sale, so this is a serious steal. They really have mastered the best shape and fit: It's so luxurious and soft, you feel like you're wearing a hug all day long. It'll be such a dream with anything from a seventies-style long-sleeve patterned fall dress, to a structured tailored look in the winter to soften the overall vibe." —Jaclyn Alexandra Cohen, senior fashion and accessories editor

Meta Slide Sandal

"From Bottega to Dries, sculptural hardware heels have been a fashion week highlight for the last couple seasons. I love Cult Gaia’s take on the trend with this simple sandal that I can pair easily with breezy summer dresses." —Jennifer Jenkins, assistant accessories editor

"I live in classic basics and earth tones, so these Cult Gaia sandals are the perfect way to incorporate a bit of glam and edge to a subtle monochrome look." —Rosa Sanchez, senior news editor

Pleated V-Neck Drawstring Dress

"Exactly the sort of simple, one-and-done item of clothing you want to throw on when it's 92 degrees out and you have to commute to the office. It comes in sizes up to 3X, too." —Izzy Grinspan, deputy digital editor

54mm Gradient Cat Eye Sunglasses

"These sunglasses tap into my obsession with Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s and the oversized shades she wears in the movie." —Miguel Enamorado, accessories director

Clydebank Quilted Jacket

"Simply put, everything Barbour does is the chicest. I absolutely love their heritage waxed coats, but their quilted jackets are so effortless and such a nice wardrobe addition. Of course, this one has the label's signature corduroy collar which adds to the horse-girl equestrian vibe. This can go perfectly with a pair of jeans or trousers. I also love the idea of wearing it over a long sweater dress and seventies heeled boots to make it feel pared-down." —Jaclyn Alexandra Cohen, senior fashion and accessories editor

Paneled Sleeveless Midi Dress

"I always try to maximize my dress rotation for the summer, and this midi piece from Vince would be a good option to add to the mix. Its scooped neckline and flared skirt evoke a sort of sartorial timelessness, but the minimalist base also makes it easy to experiment with other aesthetics. The options are endless: I can imagine myself wearing it with espadrilles for a daytime date, or silver flats with layers of metallic jewelry for a spontaneous shopping spree in SoHo." —Chelsey Sanchez, associate editor

Zuzi Bit Mule

"Packing up my entire closet for a recent move taught me I have more than enough shoes, minus a pair of clogs. (How?!) I plan to fill the last real gap in my wardrobe with this pair. I love the contrast of the creamy ecru leather with the gold-tone hardware, and I suspect I'll love them even more with my matching knitwear sets in the fall." —Halie LeSavage, fashion commerce editor

The Perfect Vintage Wide Leg Jeans

"If truly you know me, you understand that wearing a great pair of jeans is practically part of my DNA, which is why I plan on snapping up this retro wide-leg pair. Not only am I in love with their unique indigo wash, but the jeans are also the perfect combination of comfort and versatility." —Tiffany Dodson, associate beauty commerce editor

Daily Lace Sheer Camisole

"Lately, I only want to wear pieces that I can lounge around my apartment in and that still look great once I throw on a pair of jeans. Wearing this camisole with a sexy satin bra underneath and a wedge sandal would make me embrace my inner Carrie Bradshaw." —Bianca Betancourt, culture editor

Harpson Sleeveless Stretch Wool Sheath Dress

"You can’t go wrong with a white minidress for summer nine-to-five dressing." —Rosa Sanchez, senior news editor
