The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is one of the few shopping events we truly look forward to each year. Unlike traditional end-of-season sales, Nordstrom offers discounts on new arrivals from many of the brands we already pack, wear, and use. It’s one of the best times to invest in those luxury pieces you’ve been eyeing, or simply stock up on the essentials.
For travelers, the selection is especially good. Where else can you score editor-favorite beauty products from brands like La Mer, Westman Atelier, Oribe, and Ilia on sale? Add in a Dyson Airwrap at one of its best prices of the year, cashmere wraps that make overnight flights infinitely more comfortable, and polarized Gucci sunglasses.
The sale officially opens July 18 and runs through August 9, with Nordstrom cardmembers receiving early access beginning July 14, 15, or 16, depending on their Nordy Club status. Our advice: Don’t wait too long. The most coveted items — especially luggage, luxury beauty sets, and designer accessories — have a habit of selling out well before the sale ends. Ahead, we’ve rounded up the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale finds we’d actually pack for our next trip, along with editor favorites we’re planning to restock ourselves.
