If we had to rank our favorite holidays, it would go: Christmas, Halloween, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale got its reputation for being the sale of the year for one major reason: everything that’s discounted is a brand-new arrival or an already-existing favorite. It isn’t picking through rack’s of last season’s pieces picking things up that you won’t be able to wear until next year; it’s next season’s pieces (fall and winter) that were all just released. This means that you can get next season’s trends now, at a price that is way below what you’d expect to pay for of-the-moment pieces.
This year’s sale preview is officially out, and we’re already adding the pieces we’re hoping to snag to our wishlists and considering it Christmas in July. Here’s everything to know about the 2021 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
When is it?
The date you can access the sale depends on your Nordstrom Card tier level. The dates go as follows:
- July 12: Early Access for cardmembers with Icon status.
- July 14: Early Access for cardmembers with Ambassador status.
- July 16: Early Access for cardmembers with Influencer status (all cardholders begin at Influencer status)
- July 28: Anniversary Sale opens to the general public.
Your access will begin on whichever date you qualify for at 3am ET/12am PT online, or on the date during store hours. Regardless of status, the final day of the sale is August 8th.
How can I shop it?
Sale items are available both online and at your closest Nordstrom store, and you’ll be able to shop both ways on the date the sale opens to you.
One of the best ways to make sure you snag the items you want is to log in to your Nordstrom account online, peruse the preview, and add the items you’re interested in to your wish list (you’ll see the button beneath the description). This way, since so many items sell out so fast, you can log on the day the sale begins for you and have everything you’re interested ready to go.
What’s on sale?
Just about everything—coats, tops, boots, bras, activewear—are available; all from brands we love like Ugg, Good American, AllSaints, Barefoot Dreams, and more. It’s the perfect time to snag shoes, coats, jeans, and more that you’ll wear for years to come (hello, cashmere sweaters!). The sale is available for women, men, kids, beauty, and home—which means you’ll be able to find just about anything you’ve been on the hunt for, from timeless classics to trendy pieces that you’ll be seeing everywhere this fall.
