The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Is Finally On—Here's What to Buy

Keep your Prime Day and Fourth of July deals—the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021 is hands down the most beloved fashion and beauty sale of summer. After weeks of screenshotting and daydreaming about our favorite early access deals, the event is finally open for all to shop, both online and in stores through August 8. This means you have a full 11 calendar days to transfer any wishlist items directly into your cyber carts. 

If you’ve shopped the big blowout before, you know that most of the good stuff gets picked over during the days of early access. All those colorful Tory Burch sandals, pretty Vince dresses, and La Mer sets you’ve been eyeing? They all fly off Nordstrom’s virtual shelves once Nordy Club members get their hands on them. But don't worry too much: We *just* combed through the deals pages and found plenty of great sale picks still worth having across fashion, beauty, travel, and home. There's no guesstimating how long these items will be in stock for (and chances are low sizes will get replenished), so if you see something that gets your heart racing, don't wait around for a ~stealthier~ shopper to snap it up. 

Thousands of products are marked down during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, so to help you find the pieces actually worth your money, we rounded up all the sure-to-sell-out items you need on your radar. Read up on everything else about the sale, below.

When is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021?

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is open to the general public from July 28 through August 8, meaning you’ll have 11 days before the discounts turn back into full-priced pumpkins. For those of you eager to leaf through the racks in person—there’s nothing quite like feeling your way through rows of silk and cotton—you can head to Nordstrom stores during regular business hours. If you prefer to browse from the comfort of your couch (who doesn't?), you can get to shopping now.

Best Dresses Deals 2021
