The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Just Went Live to the Public. Here Are the 24 Best Things to Buy.
If—somehow—you managed to make it all this time on God's not-so-green earth without knowing about the annual Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, well, you're going to learn today. For the uninitiated, the Anniversary Sale is the Seattle-based retailer's much-anticipated yearly summer blowout, featuring steep discounts across a broad array of new arrivals. For deal-savvy clotheshorses, it's like Christmas come early. Or, put another way, it's the Super Bowl of shopping (with equally high stakes for everyone involved).
In prior years, the sale started in mid-July, but what with the world just up and going to shit recently, Nordstrom decided to postpone the eagerly anticipated event until August 19. (It'll run through August 30.)
If you're checking your calendar in excitement, and because time has less meaning than ever these days, here's the good news: Yes, today's finally the day. The Anniversary Sale officially went live at 9:30 a.m. EST, giving you the chance to actually cop all the stuff you've been saving down to your wishlist for weeks on end. Patience is a virtue, and yours is about to be handsomely rewarded.
Because, as it turns out, there's a lot of handsome shit to be had. I've got my eye on more than a few particularly spicy pieces but I won't begrudge you in the slightest if you make it there before me and beat me to the punch. Real recognize real. (You can also shop the sale in-person at any of the retailer's open locations—which Nordstrom assures customers are doing everything possible to minimize any virus-related risks.)
And don't you worry: If you're feeling overwhelmed by the sheer variety of choice we've put in the time scrolling through the selection and winnowed the whole lot of it down to a few of our favorite items. Happy shopping, people. You've earned it.
