It’s finally here! As one of our favorite times of the year to shop, Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale is the retailer’s blowout midsummer sale that offers the best opportunity to find new clothes for back to school, fall, or simply when you’re in need of a closet update. (Consider it the look book for what will be in style for the upcoming season.) This is also the quintessential time to take advantage of popular designer and name brands, such as Barefoot Dreams or PAIGE, that aren’t often on sale.
But unlike other popular midsummer sales, such as Amazon’s Prime Day or Target’s Circle Week, the NSale spans several weeks, with a tiered access system based on your yearly spend as a Nordy Club cardmember.
Not sure when you are able to shop this year? Just use this chart for reference!
But, if you’re someone who needs a little style inspiration to get your shopping juices flowing, we’ve put together some affordable, chic outfits with a variety of different Anniversary Sale must-haves to help you curate a wishlist while you wait to shop. Step into the fall season looking great, no matter your personal style or budget!
Business Casual Blazer & Trousers
Classic staple pieces are something that we are always looking to pick up during the Anniversary Sale. This entire outfit can be worn to the office for seasons to come. For a more laidback look, try pairing the blazer with a pair of great fitting denim!
A Little Black Dress
A little black dress, or LBD, can be one of the most versatile pieces of clothing in your closet. A great dress like this doesn’t have to be confined to just the summer either—find one that you’ll love to wear all year long.
Workout Wear Upgrades
Shop:
Sweatshirt |
Bralette |
Shorts |
Duffel Bag |
Sneakers
Is it time for a new pair of sneakers? Or, maybe it’s time to toss aside an old, stretched-out sports bra? Either way, a new gym outfit can give your dresser drawer the pop of color that it needs.
Comfortable Athleisure
Shop:
Sweatshirt |
Sweatpants |
Necklace |
Sunglasses |
Duffel Bag
Another favorite of ours? The post-gym attire. A comfortable, relaxed pair of sweatpants and a slightly oversized zip sweatshirt? Yes, please. We’ll practically live in this look on the weekends.
Seasonal Dresses
Okay, this isn’t a seasonal dress by any means, but it does conjure up images of pumpkin patches and spooky movie marathons. But, a muted dress like this can also be worn to any fall weddings that you may have on your calendar (or even an upscale date night).
Fall Layers
Shop: Coat | Cardigan | Jeans | Mules | Sunglasses
We’ll say it again—the NSale is the best time to find new clothes for the fall back-to-school season. An elevated wool coat in a neutral color, such as camel, can be integrated into just about any capsule wardrobe and dark denim and cardigans are no-brainers when it comes to cool weather dressing.
Cardigans & Corduroy
Another fabric that is perfect for fall? Corduroy! The heavier material is ideal for the evening chill that begins to creep in as summer ends, and it provides a rich, warm texture to any outfit.
black & Khaki
Lightweight pants, such as linen trousers, can be a great way to keep cool in the summer. But, you can easily transition the whole look into a late-summer/early fall look by adding a moto jacket over top. In this case, we love the olive green as a unique spin on the classic outerwear.
Comfortable Basics
Shop:
Sweatshirt |
Tank |
Sweatpants |
Sneakers |
Sunglasses
As another way to style the zip sweatshirt, you can stick to a monochromatic color palette for a pulled together outfit idea in minutes.
Classic Neutrals
Shop:
Shirt |
Denim Shorts |
Sneakers |
Earrings |
Hat
Call it the Weekend Uniform. There’s nothing cleaner and easier to toss on than an oversized white shirt, baseball hat, and a pair of denim shorts.
Henleys & Denim
Jeans are one of the most popular items during the Anniversary Sale, and that’s because many designer brands offer deep discounts on their labels. However, we are Levi’s fans through and through, and their affordable, durable denim is always high on our list to shop.
White Shirt & Jeans
There’s nothing better than a simple white tee with jeans. Pair it with your favorite heels to give it an elevated feel!
Capsule Cardigans
Shop:
Cardigan |
Jeans |
Tote |
Sunglasses |
Earrings
A light grey cardigan will be a workhorse in the fall and winter. Pair it with jeans, trousers, dresses or skirts to create a variety of outfits.
Long Sleeve Dresses
Fall means that it’s the return of the long sleeve dress. For those colder days (and to transition this piece into the winter time), pair it with tall boots to not only stay warm, but give a simple, ribbed knit dress a quick upgrade!
Versatile Jackets
This military-inspired jacket is a great transitional piece, not just from summer to fall, but when the fall begins to transition into winter. And, of course, everyone has a white tee in their closet.
Bodysuits & Maxi Skirts
Shop:
Bodysuit |
White Shirt |
Denim Skirt |
Belt |
Sandals |
Handbag
Another classic combination that instantly feels put together, a bodysuit gives you a streamlined look, while the denim maxi skirt lets you infuse a little trendiness into your outfit. Wear an oversized white shirt on top for a layered, long sleeve look and swap out the sandals for sneakers or boots when the time comes.
White & Denim
We can’t get enough of a white and denim pairing; it is the ultimate inspiration when it comes to easy, everyday looks. Just add another neutral, lightweight jacket and sneakers to the mix as the summer comes to a close.
Cardigans & Denim
Need we say more?
Menswear & Jeans
Instead of a simple tank, why not try a vest? If you want to add additional coverage, wear a tank or t-shirt underneath or style a moto jacket on top for a layered look.
Activewear Vests
Shop:
Sweatshirt |
Cropped Puffer |
Leggings |
Belt Bag |
Sneakers
Leggings? Check. Sweatshirt? Check. If you’re someone who isn’t ready for a heavy coat when leaving the gym, a puffy vest can provide warmth while also adding a pop of color.
White & Denim
It feels straight out of a Ralph Lauren magazine ad, but it’s a classic look that will never go out of style. Two pieces that will always have a place in any capsule wardrobe.
Blazers & Bodycon Dresses
Shop:
Blazer |
Dress |
Sandals |
Handbag |
Sunglasses
This long slinky dress makes the perfect backdrop for fun, colorful accessories for summer. The best part is that it can be dressed up or down! When it’s time to head into the fall, trade the sandals in for a short pair of boots.
Graphic tee & Jeans
Graphic tees have always been a fun way to share your personality without saying a word. Wear your favorite shirt with a great pair of jeans this summer for a casual, laidback look.
Resortwear Essentials
Shop:
Tank |
Shorts |
Sandals |
Crossbody Bag |
Sunglasses |
Belt
A great combination that can be worn during the warmer days of summer—or on a sunny vacation—that instantly looks put together and luxurious. At the end of the summer, trade out the trouser shorts for a pair of long pants.
Colorful Activewear
Shop:
Sweatshirt |
Bralette |
Shorts |
Sneakers |
Earrings
Sure, you’re headed to the gym for a workout, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t feel great about your outfit while you’re there, too.
Blouses & Jeans
This blouse is effortlessly summer. Pair it with a cute lace bralette or tank to match its boho vibe. To make it nighttime appropriate, it’s time to bring out a pair of killer black pumps and a matching black moto jacket.
LBD & Pearls
Another LBD? Yes, of course! This bodycon tank dress can be dressed up with heels or down with sneakers and a denim jacket for an incredibly versatile closet staple.
All black Everything
Just because it’s summer doesn’t mean that you need to leave the darker colors at the back of your closet. An all-black, monochromatic look means that a bright and colorful bag can be the standout of your outfit.
Chic Business Casual
Another office staple, a great black blazer can partner with a shiny, pleated skirt for an elevated office look that could transition into a night out, too!
Earthy Garden Look
There’s something about a forest-inspired look that feels simultaneously bohemian and academic all at the same time.
Black & Grey
Depending on where you live, the summer days might be very warm, but the evenings cool. Put the best of both worlds together by pairing a lightweight sweater and pair of shorts. Need a heavier layer? Add a denim or leather jacket for extra warmth.
Pastel Activewear
Another great combination for the gym, we love a light color palette for the warmer months, especially an athleisure jacket that can be worn with just about everything.
Cozy Loungewear
Shop:
Cardigan |
Bralette |
Pajama Set |
Socks
Too hot (or cold) to go outside? This loungewear is a must-have for a Netflix binge, especially with an extra-cozy pair of socks.
Floral Blouses & Denim
A casual way to wear this floral blouse, pair it with wide leg denim jeans and a great pair of wedges! For a more festive fall look, add a brown leather jacket and boots.
Tee & Sweatpants
Shop:
Tee |
Sweatpants |
Sunglasses |
Necklace |
Backpack |
Sneakers
Not into a matching loungewear set? Say hello to your favorite new combination.
Oversized Vest & Corduroy
Not a fan of a full blazer look? This long, sleeveless option is a unique spin on menswear that works well as a substitute for a cardigan when styled with a lightweight sweater.
Preppy Polo & Jeans
A blend of a sweater and a polo, this striped shirt is a preppy combination with jeans and platform heels that is perfect for back to school.
Elevated athleisure

Shirt |

Headed to brunch immediately after a workout? This half-zip shirt provides just the right amount of pizzazz to your outfit.

Want an extra casual way to wear trouser shorts? Pair it with your favorite V-neck tee! Make it fall-ready with a leather jacket or utility coat.
Long Coats
Shop:
Coat |
Sweatshirt |
Jeans |
Handbag |
Sneakers
Another go-to item that we are always looking for during the Anniversary Sale is a new addition to our outerwear collection. In this case, a lightweight, long coat can be worn over an athleisure set or with jeans and tee for an out-the-door look that’s still immaculately styled.
Boho Tanks & Shorts
Don’t give up on the ruffled tanks from summer just yet. This is another way to style this cropped utility jacket for those early fall months.
Casual Dresses & Cardigans
You can never go wrong with a sleeveless bodycon dress, but it becomes more relaxed when paired with a long cardigan. For an even more dressed down version, trade out the summer wedges for a pair of platform sneakers.
Pretty Pastels
Another long sleeve and shorts combination, this outfit has a soft elegance that is reminiscent of summer mornings.
Denim Dress & Boots
This denim dress can easily be transitioned into fall with a chunky cardigan and a pair of tights. But for right now, a pair of booties will do!
Black & White
The original color pairing, black and white will always be an I-don’t-know-what-to-wear closet go-to look. For a little pattern, you can’t go wrong with this striped cardigan.
Matching Pajamas
Shop:
Robe |
Bralette |
Pajama Set |
Slippers
If you’d rather lounge around after a relaxing shower, there’s no better way to do it than with some matching loungewear, robe, and furry slippers.
Cardigans & Tees
We know that not everyone is already thinking about fall, but a great cardigan is never far from our minds.
Sweater Vests & Denim
A unique spin on a tank, this sweater vest can be another transitional piece when it’s time to head into the cooler fall months. Add a white buttoned shirt or a thin, long sleeve tee for an added layer.
Sweatpants & Layers
Whether you prefer joggers or wide leg sweatpants, this comfortable loungewear staple makes our must-haves list.
Dark Denim & Flats
Dark denim just has a way of making any outfit feel more chic. It’s a great alternative to trousers or other dress pants and makes your accessories pop.
Stylish Sweaters
Shop:
Sweater |
Jeans |
Sunglasses |
Handbag |
Wedges
Another way to style that same pair of dark denim, this time we’re choosing an asymmetrical off-the-shoulder sweater as our top with cream accessories.
Puffer Coats
Alright, so a puffy coat isn’t exactly a late summer addition to your closet (although that may depend on what area of the country you live in), but it will definitely be used in tandem with a pair of rain boots in the fall.
Oversized Athleisure
Shop:
Sweater |
Leggings |
Backpack |
Sunglasses |
Sneakers
Pre- or post-workout, transitioning from the gym to the rest of your day is always made more comfortable by an oversized layer that is soft and easy to throw on quickly.
Brightly Colored Outerwear
As the temperatures outside get cooler, it often seems as though the weather gets drearier, too. So, why not brighten up the days when the sun isn’t shining with a bold coat?
Stripes & Neutrals
If you are wanting to create a versatile wardrobe that transitions with you through the seasons, keep earth tones and neutrals at the front of your closet. These work beautifully to create a warm base for any patterns, textures, or colors that you want to incorporate.
Bold, Seasonal Colors
One part neutral, one part bold color, we love these burnt orange pants paired with an oversized sweater!
Abstract Prints
Shop:
Sweater |
Jeans |
Sunglasses |
Handbag |
Clogs
Another way to add some interest into your closet is to include patterns and prints. This abstract sweater makes us think of sunsets in the mountains.
Dress-y Style
It might feel far off, but the holidays sneak up on us quickly. Or date nights. Or family get togethers. Whatever fancy occasion might be on the calendar, a wrap dress such as this one is easy to style for warmer weather (with wedges) or cooler (try boots). Plus, the tie belt accentuates your waist for an oh-so-flattering fit.
Prints & Accessories
Shop:
Vest |
Jeans |
Loafers |
Backpack |
Sunglasses
Don’t forget to shop for some of the smaller items in your closet, too! A unique pair of sunglasses, a bold print, or chunky detailing can give your outfit a whole different aesthetic.
