Second only to the Anniversary sale, Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale is one of our favorite times to shop, whether in-person or online. Maybe it’s because the sale feels like it kicks off the summer, or maybe it’s because it has some of our favorite brands on sale—either way, we can’t help but feel a little excited! The Half-Yearly Sale starts on May 22, 2024, and runs through June 2, 2024, making it a perfect time to swap out the items in your closet in anticipation of the warmer months ahead.
For those familiar with the sale, many popular brands for women’s clothing and accessories are on sale, including:
AGOLDE
Free People
Madewell
Reformation

Marine Layer
Theory
If you’re not sure where to begin—and trust us, there are a lot of choices—we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite items from the sale that we are sure you’ll love, too. And if not, it’s at least guaranteed to get you inspired to spoil yourself or anyone on your list.
Our Favorite Deal:

Airstrait™ Hair Straightener
Dyson
Dyson is known for their amazing hair products, but they’re also known for not exactly being the cheapest hair tool in the drawer. The Airstrait™ straightens hair—both wet and dry—with a high-pressure airflow instead of traditional hot plates, meaning that the singeing heat damage that we know all too well from our younger days is well…a thing of the past.
Best Women’s Clothing & Accessories
Out with the old, and in with the new! Or, in this case, out into storage with the heavy winter clothes, and in with the lightweight layers and sleeveless tops. Whether you’re looking for a new business casual outfit to wear to the office or you want to add a pair of denim to your collection of jean shorts, this is a great time to take advantage of sale prices on the brands that often come with a hefty price tag. (After all, our wallet loves a good deal.)
