Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: Everything You Need to Know to Shop

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is one of the biggest shopping events of the year, and it is by far my FAVORITE sale to shop. Unlike most retailers’ sales, including the Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is SO GOOD because it offers NEW and CURRENT clothes, accessories and home items on sale. Stock up on everything for the end of summer and for fall at the annual Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.

What Makes the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale So Good?

While most sales offer discounts on overstocked, out-of-season, and obsolescent merchandise, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale offers BIG discounts on the newest arrivals in men’s, women’s, and kids’s clothes, shoes, handbags, home, and beauty items.

In addition, the Nordstrom Anniversary sale has a lot of beauty and hair exclusives, so you can find limited edition body, fragrance, hair, makeup, and skincare sets and kits at deep discounts that are only offered during this once a year sale.

The 2021 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is open to the general public from 12am PT on July 28 until 12am PT August 9. Prices go up on August 9.
