Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale Is Back—Here Are This Year’s Best Finds

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

When it comes to fashion sales with (actually) good deals on (actually cute) clothes, Nordstrom’s annual Anniversary Sale is one of the year’s biggest headliners. Those who’ve been shopping the cult-loved sale since the first coming of UGGs will need no introduction to the sale’s logistics. For the uninitiated, Anniversary Sale differs from regular sales as it includes discounts on new fall styles before the season even begins. This is in addition to deals on bestsellers galore.

ELLE.com got an exclusive first look at this year’s Anniversary Sale womenswear selection a week before the preview went public this year and we’ve been excited ever since. And drum roll, please—we can confirm that this year’s curation might be the most exciting yet with so many elevated classics offered alongside corsets, tailored suiting, and other pieces encapsulating the best fall 2023 fashion trends.

While Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale opened up to the public on July 17th, right now you only have a week left to shop the sale until the event ends on August 6. Note that prices go back to normal on August 7. In other words, consider this your last chance to shop.

Ahead, we’ve shared our favorite womenswear picks ahead and fall trend insights from Rickie de Sole, Nordstrom’s Women’s Designer Fashion & Editorial Director. The product links (and discounts!) below are live, now that the Anniversary Sale has officially kicked off. Word to the wise: Items historically fly out of stock during Anniversary Sale faster than one can even try to crowdsource their family group chat for a Nordstrom card. We recommend saving this article anywhere you’ll remember as we’ll continually update this post with the best in-stock finds. Here, our favorite finds from Anniversary Sale 2023.

Cross Back Tennis Minidress

This viral tennis dress is the perfect blend of fashion and athleisure. If you want to escape the humidity this summer, this piece combines breathable fabric with a chic design (and built-in shorts).

574 Sneaker

Dad sneakers are a trend that will never go out of style. These New Balances will become your most-worn pair of shoes, thanks to their timeless design and extreme comfort.

Small Sam Pebble Leather Shoulder Bag

You need a new purse to wear to the Barbie premiere, and this hot pink one is a clear winner. It’s large enough to fit all your essential items, but small enough to wear for date night.

CozyChic Assorted 2-Pack Ankle Socks

Your toes don’t know true comfort until you slip on these fluffy socks. Whether your feet are always cold or you just want to give them a pampering after a full day in heels, you’ll be wearing these ankle socks for years to come.

The Gaia’s Ark Mini Top Handle Bag

A vacation on the books means you need a new resort-friendly clutch. You’ve probably spotted this statement bag on the arms of your favorite influencers, and now’s your chance to pick up your own at a huge discount.

Ribcage Ripped High Waist Ankle Straight Leg Jeans

Buying a pair of Levi’s is like investing in an Hermès bag or an apartment with park views: It’ll never go out of style and will always hold its value.

Airlift High Waist Leggings

Whether you want to stand out in yoga class or avoid reckless bikers while walking your dog, these bright red leggings are some of the coziest on the market.

Feathers Underwire Contour Bra

This is the only underwire bra I’ve ever sworn by and my love for this style goes all the way back to college when my best friend told me I needed to buy this. (She was right.) To me, the cult-like appeal of Natori’s Feathers Contour bra boils down to its comfort, aesthetic, and practicality. The mesh and lace details add a sexy touch but are undetectable beneath most tops I own.

Double Pleat Wool Blend Pants

“Stealth wealth” has dominated the zeitgeist as of late, and these Theory trousers could, arguably, be the term’s picture definition. Understated, luxe, and tailored to perfection, Shiv Roy would get these in bulk.

Faux Leather Corset Top

Corsetry dominated fall 2023 runways from the likes of Versace, Vivienne Westwood, and more. For the going out set, meet this cropped faux leather option.

327 Sneaker

Neither chunky nor slim, New Balance’s 327 sneakers have become super popular in the last two years for good reason. They’re wildly comfortable while still being stylish. P.S.: Two other colorways are included in Anniversary Sale as well.

Double Breasted Crepe Suit Blazer

Speaking to ELLE.com about this fall’s biggest trends, De Sole emphasized the moment red is having.

As she put it, “Red is the new pink! In a season dominated by black, white, and neutral tones, red, in all shades from burgundy to crimson, emerged as the pop color for fall.”

Tapered Pull On Pant

Worn with or without its coordinating blazer, these pants are *chef’s kiss*.

Metallic Shoulder Bag

This structured metallic number from Simon Miller features an au courant feminine top handle that can be carried by hand or worn over the shoulder.

Curve Waterproof Jacket

I’ve owned this lightweight raincoat for years and can’t shower (sorry, but not really) it in enough praise. It’s fitted, but has enough room to layer sweaters underneath without sacrificing arm mobility.

The Perfect Vintage Raw Hem Corset High Waist Straight Leg Jeans

On this season’s biggest trends in denim silhouettes, De Sole shared, “Denim did not escape fall 2023’s tailored leaning tone. Jeans and denim silhouettes showing off the waistline—even in the case of workwear jackets—and long line skirts play alongside cleaned up utility pieces.”

Zuzi Bit Mule

Larroudé makes a strong case for the revival of clogs with their Zuzi Bit mule. I’ll personally be making a beeline to order these.

14K Gold Link Bracelet

Over 340 pieces of 14k and 18k fine jewelry are included in Anniversary Sale 2023. For those looking to indulge in some arm candy without breaking the bank, meet this dainty bracelet that can be worked into any stack or worn alone.

Nelly Ruched Knit Top

Another color to get ahead of the curve with? Gray. While speaking to this season’s biggest trends with ELLE.com, De Sole also shared that the gray “makes a comeback as fall’s must-have neutral choice in workwear.”

Sukato Denim Skirt

The renaissance of denim midi skirts is upon us in fall 2023, with endless Y2K styling possibilities abound. To really throw it back, pair this with chunky loafers.

Hadley Satin Slipdress

The mustard-metallic hue of this satin number makes for a surprisingly good neutral. Here, a dress you can throw a shacket over when you don’t feel like getting dressed on work day and then wear with heels for a Friday night rehearsal dinner.

Double Breasted Faux Leather Trench Coat

Few wardrobe staples, if any, rival the staying power of trench coats. The vegan leather fabrication on this Apparis number lends extra glamour while maintaining timeless appeal.

Faye Tall Boot

The square toes and stacked heels of these boots make for a style that’s fashionable and comfortable in equal measure.

Butter Tank Bodysuit

Every wardrobe needs a fitted bodysuit. This one will cost less than two cocktails (give or take how scene-y you like your bars) during Anniversary Sale.

Oversized Button Sleeve Shirt

Falling into the camp (or perhaps owning and running the camp) of essentials every woman should have in their closet by the age of 30 is a classic oversized button shirt.

New Divide Wool & Cashmere Crop Jacket

Gwyneth Paltrow did not wear this lovely camel jacket during her ski trial, but it would’ve fit into the haute-minimalism mood board perfectly.

Baggy Jean

The subtle balloon silhouette of these light wash wide-leg jeans will play nicely with several top varieties already housed in your closet. Think: Oversized button-downs, tanks, chunky cropped sweaters, etc.

574 Sneaker

Starring in covetable street style looks by everyone from Rihanna to EmRata over the years, new Balance’s 574 sneakers are au courant without being too trendy.

Live In High Waist Leggings

If you’ve never taken Nordstrom’s in-house activewear line Zella brand for a spin, this is the bestselling style to start with. Boasting 7.4k ratings and counting at the time of publication, Zella’s High Waist leggings have a figure-sculpting look that doesn’t compromise comfort.

Macaw Bloom Floral Smocked Mock Neck Juliet Sleeve Dress

Farm Rio stans, rejoice. Anniversary Sale 2023 boasts a few styles from the brand this year, including this midi mock neck dress that can be worn straight into fall.

Tia Diana Long Sleeve Maxi Dress

If you dabble in the ‘dark academia’ aesthetic that’s been all over TikTok (the term currently boasts over 5 billion views, just FYI), this AllSaints frock is for you.

Maddie Dress

In case your LBD game could use an upgrade.

Faux Shearling Jacket

At this discount, it’s very likely that this mid-weight staple sells out before Anniversary Sale even opens up to all cardholder tiers.

‘70s Ultra High Waist Stove Pipe Jeans in Worn

Fashion girls have long loved Re/Done’s bestselling stove pipe jeans. Crafted from rigid denim with a 12.5” rise, these drip in vintage appeal.

Beacon Anorak Dickey Jacket

It’s been 13 years since Veronica Beard launched with their now classic Dickey jacket and we still want one.

Ally Whipstitch Detail Mock Neck

Chunky turtlenecks are always a good idea.

High Waist Washable Silk Pajamas

You could wear this silk pajama set to sleep, but styling this with a blazer and heels is also on the table.

Dani Silk Button-Up Blouse

This maximalist silk blouse can swiftly be toned down with minimalist suiting, making it a fun and not impractical choice.

Franklin High Waist Faux Leather Wide Leg Pants

Coated faux leather pant season will be here before you know it. You’ll be glad to have a pair that’s slightly different (peep this lovely olive hue) from half your Instagram feed’s.
