I hate to keep you waiting, so I won't: I've got all the Nordstrom summer sale details you've been waiting for.
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, a.k.a. the biggest and best sale the department store puts on all year, finally starts this week, and you can see a preview of the deals now. Below, I've answered all the frequently asked questions I hear as PEOPLE's Nordstrom expert, like when it's open to the public (July 12) and when Nordy Club members can start shopping (even sooner!). But because I'm antsy, I pulled dozens of deals with anniversary sale-level prices available right now.
With discounts on Free People, Reformation, Tory Burch, Madewell, Kate Spade, and more brands that go up to 60 percent off, why wait until the weekend?
Today, you can save up to $226 on Fluff Co. bedding and grab comfy loungewear for just $24. There are also price drops on Vionic shoes, a brand that podiatrists trust, along with display-worthy cookware from Le Creuset, which we spotted in Meghan Markle's Netflix series. Score discounts on Perricone MD, Donna Karan, and more, too.
Nordstrom really put its best foot forward with these incredible fashion deals from Spanx, Madewell, and more. Harness the power of denim with this fun Reformation dress, a cool-girl brand we've spotted on Jennifer Aniston and Taylor Swift. Or bare your arms in this Madewell muscle tee before the weather starts transitioning.
Because like it or not, fall is indeed coming, so consider this your time to prep. This buttery-looking Free People sweater has a mock neck and a particularly autumnal hue, and these 45-percent-off Levi's jeans balance out its stylishly slouchy look.
Nordstrom's shoe department was always my first stop when my family and I shopped in store (my back-to-school shoes were always the flyest), and the same still goes today. I'm floored by the fact that these Tory Burch wedges with a modest lift are now $100 off, and I like how these New Balance sneakers are gender-inclusive. Vionic sandals are another top markdown, as the podiatrist-loved brand is PEOPLE Tested and approved. Keep reading for more shoe deals up to 50 percent off.
In my opinion, the only "boring" outfits are the ones that are under-accessorized, but that's so fixable. This stackable BaubleBar bracelet is like the jewelry version of a firecracker -- it pops off -- and these half-off Tory Burch earrings come in three versatile colors. Bags big and small should also be an obligatory purchase since there’s a wide selection of crossbody purses, hobo bags, and big carryalls on sale.
Take it from me: Popular beauty deals go quickly at Nordstrom, so move fast if you’re interested in anything here. Early sale prices start at $22 and cover all categories of beauty. There’s this Shark blow dryer for salon-level hairdos, makeup with SPF for long summer days, and the Perricone MD serum that one shopper said “changed” their skin.
Just like Dorothy says, "There's no place like home." So consider delegating some of your budget toward these home deals, including a deliciously soft Barefoot Dreams blanket -- they really are as good as everyone says -- and fluffy bedding that's 47 percent off. Having restaurant-like cookware like this do-it-all Le Creuset Dutch oven saves you from spending on takeout in the long run, and, if properly taken care of, it should last a really long time. Knife sets, coffee makers, and pretty plates round out the non-regrettable basics to pick up.

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is open to all shoppers beginning Saturday, July 12. However, if you're a Nordy Club member with Icon, Ambassador, or Influencer status, you can begin your shopping a few days earlier on July 8, 9, and 10, respectively. The event runs for a total of three weeks, which means it officially wraps up on Sunday, August 3. But take it from us, don't wait until the very last day or there might not be much left.
Everyone can and should shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, but you just need to take note of when it begins for you. Anyone can score discounts from July 12 onward, but Nordstrom card members, including members of any of the three Nordy Club tiers, will get a head start on their shopping.
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale takes place in stores and online, including on the Nordstrom app. For a curation of the best deals, celebrity-worn styles, and more, keep checking out our in-depth shopping coverage as the sale develops.
The discounts at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale are different every year, but you can count on markdowns on clothing, shoes, accessories, beauty, and home goods. In 2025, we're hoping to see brands like Free People, Reformation, Spanx Dyson, Michael Kors, and Viking—all of which were marked down during last year's event.
