Weekend Warrior
MH says:
"My top priority for Summer 2021 is spending as much time outside as possible. After being cooped up, I want to enjoy the great outdoors including the golf course, hiking, backyard barbecues, and long days spent by the pool. That means I need more than a little wardrobe refresh that focuses on versatility, comfort, and quality materials. Plus, since I haven’t seen some friends in quite a while, a little feel-good fashion can go a long way in terms of easing any re-entry anxiety." - Spencer Dukoff, Deputy Editor, Content Strategy
Nordstrom says:
"One of the best parts about our Anniversary Sale is that you can buy an entirely new wardrobe with savings. That includes everything from weekly uniforms to casual weekend looks, even though these days the two are looking more similar. Items that toe the line between work and work-from-home include easy-wearing polo shirts, like these striped versions from Nike made from their moisture-wicking Dri-Fit fabric." - Jian DeLeon, Men’s Fashion and Editorial Director
Fitness Finds
MH says:
"You can never have too many workout clothes and sneakers, especially when you train as much as I do. This year, Nordstrom will be slashing the prices on some of my favorite fitness go-tos, from Nike’s stretchy and breathable athletic shorts to Rhone’s durable, slim-fit workout tees. Whether you’re looking for the best all-around running shoe or supportive footwear for lifting at the gym, Nordstrom’s Anniversary sale has a ton of top Nike styles to help you level up your fitness game in style." - Ebenezer Samuel, C.S.C.S., Fitness Director
Nordstrom says:
"Anniversary is also a great opportunity to get great activewear at an awesome price. Whether you’re in the market for a new pair of running shoes like the Nike Pegasus or a versatile workout shirt from Rhone, there are products fit for any aspiring athlete." - Jian DeLeon, Men’s Fashion and Editorial Director
Best Basics
MH says:
"Sales are the best time to stock up on all of the essentials your closet might be missing—or that may be in urgent need of a refresh. Basics like boxers, sweats, and hoodies are always discounted for great deals you don't want to miss. The catch is that inventory tends to get wiped out practically overnight once prices hit their lowest point, so act fast." - Michael Darling, Executive Editor
Nordstrom says:
"We all know when most men find something they really love, we tend to get multiples. That especially applies to wardrobe basics like comfortable hoodies and underwear. As someone who swears by Calvin Klein underwear, I can’t recommend any opportunity to stock up and save enough." - Jian DeLeon, Men’s Fashion and Editorial Director
Workwear Upgrades
MH says:
"As we return to 9-to-5 office life, I’m shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary sale to upgrade my workwear attire with some fresh fits. I’ve been romanticizing about the good old days where men pulled out their best suit for the office, and this Canali option packs a punch of Italian flair. To give my classic suiting look a modern edge, I’ll pair it with Selected Homme’s knit polo shirt and minimalist sneakers from Good Man. Even if you’re not looking to score a whole new office wardrobe, sales are a great time to stock up on some menswear essentials, like a timeless leather belt." - Rashad Minnick, Fashion Associate
Nordstrom says:
"The bird’s eye texture on this dark navy polo from Selected Homme looks great under a patterned suit like this one from Canali, but also works untucked with jeans and a more casual bomber." - Jian DeLeon, Men’s Fashion and Editorial Director
Gear Up for the Fall Season
MH says:
"Summer won’t last forever, so I’m using the Nordstrom Anniversary sale as an opportunity to score some cold weather essentials for less. Unlike last fall, I’m giving my WFH sweatpants a much needed breather, so I’m in dire need of some office-appropriate chinos that I can pair with a cool and cozy sweatshirt and stylish leather boots. To create an effortlessly cool textural mash-up in one Fall fit, a sherpa-lined trucker jacket is the perfect topper for the brisk Autumn days ahead." - Adam Mansuroglu, Senior Style & Commerce Editor
Nordstrom says:
"The Levi’s Sherpa-Lined Trucker Jacket is a fall staple that goes well with anything from a crewneck sweatshirt to a merino cardigan." - Jian DeLeon, Men’s Fashion and Editorial Director
Vacation Flex
MH says:
"It's been a while since my last true beach vacation, so why not splurge on sale items, especially if it's on top designer brands like Tom Ford. Sales are a great excuse to step out of your style comfort zone without having to break the bank, so this summer, I plan to finally don some off-white trousers and a modern-fit Hawaiian shirt." - Ben Court, Executive Editor
Nordstrom says:
"Faherty’s take on the baja hoodie is laid-back with a new-school heritage attitude, like a vintage find you can’t stop wearing." - Jian DeLeon, Men’s Fashion and Editorial Director
It's All About Accessories
MH says:
"New, practical accessories are what I find I need most these days. On the top of my shopping checklist is a watch to elevate an everyday look, sneakers that can go from the gym to the office, sleek sunglasses to wear while I’m out and about in the sun, and a durable duffle bag that I can use for weekend getaways. Thankfully, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has great deals on classic accessories that will never go out of style, ensuring that your hard-earned money will be well spent." - Ted Stafford, Fashion Director
Nordstrom Says:
"Ray-Ban’s classic Wayfarer sunglasses are a timeless symbol of cool, and now they’ve been updated with a modern clear acetate frame." - Jian DeLeon, Men’s Fashion and Editorial Director
