Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale is Back. Here's What to Buy.

When it comes to fashion sales stacked with compelling deals on (actually) chic clothes, nothing quite hits like Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale. Those who've been shopping the cult-loved sale since they got a debit card will need no explanation as to why the sale is worthy of multiple phone reminders. But, for anyone who's made it this long on Earth without being initiated, Anniversary Sale stands out as it includes new Fall styles, plus classic best sellers like Ugg slippers, Diptyque candles, and more.

Anniversary Sale 2021 is just around the corner, opening up to select Nordstrom cardholders for early access today, July 12, and to the public on July 28, where it'll run until August 9 when prices go back to normal. If the wait has you feeling impatient, we have good news. Nordstrom mic dropped their official preview of everything that's going to be included in Anniversary Sale last week. And we can confirm this year's curation is brimming with elevated basics, going out tops, and leather boots that have us ready to blow a dramatic kiss goodbye to sweatpants once and for all.

To spare you having to sift through hundreds of items, we've put together a definitive list of the best fashion finds to start adding to your cart in advance. And word to the wise: Anniversary Sale is notorious for selling out of styles, so we recommend saving this link somewhere you'll remember as we'll be updating the list throughout the sale as our favorites inevitably fly out of stock.
