The 100 Best Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Deals, Selected by Our Expert

It’s the most wonderful time of year — the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, of course! 

The three-week event is officially underway, meaning a) there are tens of thousands of can’t-skip steals on the table and b) I have never been happier. Why? As PEOPLE’s Nordstrom expert, it’s my time to shine. All throughout the sale, I’ll be finding the absolute best deals for you, me, and everyone else. 

So let’s get our shop on, because the selection is even better than I expected. My favorite discoveries start at only $10, and top brands like Free People, Coach, Michael Kors, Dyson, and so many others are in the mix. Without further ado, let’s get into the 100 best deals now. 

Best Overall Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Deals 

Spanx! Clinique! Our Place! This year’s best overall deals truly can’t get any better. It’s pretty shameful that I still don’t own a pair of the backside-sculpting Spanx leggings that my coworkers, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jennifer Garner wear, so I might scoop them up now, along with the Dyson Airwrap that gives everyone I know ’80s-level volume in their hair. And I really don’t need more New Balance sneakers, but the pair Jennifer Aniston has worn is 20 percent off, so my collection may be growing sooner than I anticipated. 

The Estée Lauder night serum that “works beautifully to minimize lines,” according to one reviewer, sounds like it’d be perfect on my forehead wrinkles, while this now-$10 cami is just good to have in my wardrobe as a backup.

New Balance 327 Sneaker

Half of the PEOPLE Shopping team is based in commuter cities like New York and Los Angeles, so we judge walking shoes with an expert eye. This New Balance sneaker earns top marks because its cushioned base and rubber sole are designed to cradle each step — ideal for seniors or those with foot pain. Plus, the suede and leather finishes are tailored but still hold up to gentle washing machine cycles.

Best Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Clothing Deals

Whether you’re shopping for summer or fall fashion right now is your prerogative, but I like to do a little bit of both this time of year. That’s why a classic denim dress from one of Nordstrom’s in-house brands and a half-off designer coat are lingering in my virtual shopping cart. Denim is a year-round go-to for many, so I also found pairs from Levi’s, Spanx, and Free People, all on sale for under $100.   

You can grab fall toppers and undergarments too, including cozy-as-can-be sweaters and a wire-free bra with a racerback design for more support. Browse the full assortment by category below.

Levi’s Baggy Dad Jeans

Straight-leg jeans are the capsule wardrobe piece that our editors and celebrities can’t get enough of. And these 100 percent cotton baggy Levi’s jeans have a roomy, breathable fit that you won’t sweat in until fall arrives. The five pockets allow ample storage for your phone, keys, and wallet, while the elastic waistband securely yet comfortably grips your figure. Style them with a sleek blouse and heels for a night out or go casual with your favorite band tee and those New Balance sneakers we know you’ve already added to cart.

Best Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Beauty Deals

The beauty department — and all its beauty exclusives — is where I’ll personally be hitting first. The very first thing I’ll be putting in my cart is the newest Dyson Airwrap, which I’ve debated getting for at least two years now. Additionally, I want to re-up my MAC Cosmetics stash — this powder provides ridiculously good coverage without feeling heavy — alongside the Moroccanoil shampoo that I’m addicted to the smell of. It’s a PEOPLE Tested pick for those with dry hair. (That’s me!)

I already have and love the Solawave red light mask, so I may pick one up for my sister’s birthday, as well as a set of mini Maison Margiela perfumes that are perfect for her jet-setting lifestyle. I also never, ever forget to check out all the exclusive Anniversary Sale sets. They’re not technically on sale, but are worth the splurge in terms of cost versus value.

Dyson Airwrap i.d. Multi-styler and Dryer Straight+Wavy Hair

We cannot overstate the difference a hot air brush makes in the smoothness, volume, and time spent hair styling — and few come close to the Dyson Airwrap. Between personal use and tested insights, our team often sings this tool’s praises. The i.d. model is nearly identical to the original, but with added features for curling your specific hair type, creating a simplified routine that’s accessible with the press of a button through the paired app.

Best Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Shoe Deals

Some things never change, and thank goodness that includes Nordstrom’s shoe selection: Nearly every summer, I buy a pair on sale, and this year is following the trend. These Vince Camuto shoes are part loafer, part ballet flat, and fully stylish. Meanwhile, I’ve been walking my brother’s dog in my ultra-comfy New Balance sneakers non-stop lately, and now I’m thinking of adding a new style. 

I’ve also had two pairs of Hunter boots (as seen on Princess Diana) throughout my life. Both of them came from Nordstrom, but they’re long gone now. But this short pair is so adorable, how can I resist? I’m looking after other popular shoes from Vionic, Rothy’s, and Stuart Weitzman, too.

Hunter Waterproof Chelsea Rain Boot

Whether you like Hunter rain boots for their functionality or British origins (we’re royal style fans over here!), it’s no surprise that the 170-year-old brand continues to impress. These Chelsea boots take the sturdy, waterproof design of the original style and give it a cropped 21st-century makeover. We’ve personally hit the streets during some of the rainiest weeks in New York to test rain boots, and this pair shares qualities with all of our winners, including a puddle-resistant platform sole, a durable and easy-to-clean rubber exterior, and a cushioned lining to boot.

Best Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Home and Kitchen Deals

I am truly happiest when I’m at home, so I always make the effort to look for home upgrades at this sale. One example is my Barefoot Dream blanket, which makes me feel like I’m being hugged by the biggest, softest teddy bear to ever exist. Who wouldn’t want that? I also feel so much better when I cook my own food versus ordering out, so I have to buy into the Viking cookware set that’s marked down from $1,000 and this Hedley & Bennett apron, as seen on Meghan Markle, per the brand. 

These now-$33 wine glasses make drinking any beverage feel special — I put Diet Coke in mine to romanticize even the small moments of my day — while the scent of a good candle just lifts my spirits. Just try to tell me the names “Bubble Bath,” “Lazy Sunday Morning,” and “Jazz Club” don’t sound relaxing.

Dyson V15 Detect Pro Cordless Vacuum

While no one enjoys the chore of vacuuming, we have to admit a cordless vacuum makes light work of it, especially when it’s a Dyson. We’ve tried 20 Dyson vacuums, and the V15 Detect is a worthy splurge. The tool’s powerful suction leaves your floors without a trace of dust thanks to a laser light that highlights tiny specks, and its 60-minute run time allows for extensive cleaning. There’s never a bad time to buy a Dyson, but with this hefty discount, it certainly feels like the right time.

Best Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Accessory Deals

As a child, my mom, sister, and I would always make a very long pit stop at Nordstrom to check out the purses, accessories, and jewelry on sale, and I continue to carry on this tradition. This year, I already know I want a Longchamp makeup case, since my tote bags from the brand have lasted me more than a decade. I also couldn’t believe my eyes when I spotted this Coach crossbody for a whopping $165 off. 

I don’t have any trips planned, but I should probably have my own suitcase for when the time comes — instead of borrowing from my mom and dad. PEOPLE Shopping editors have tested Away luggage extensively, so that gives me full confidence in this Away carry-on suitcase on wheels. As for my impulse purchases of belts, jewelery, and sunnies, Madewell, BaubleBar, and Ray-Ban all came through.

Jewelry & Accessories

Coach Pebbled Crossbody Bag

When it comes to the final piece of most outfits, there’s no accessory more versatile than a black handbag — the ideal pairing to our team’s beloved LBDs. This pebbled crossbody bag from Coach has the same silhouette we’ve spotted on the shoulders of so many celebrities. With a few pockets for just the essentials, this sleek black purse could be your go-to for girls’ night out, dinner dates, weddings, and more.
