My Picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: 2024 Edition
How can one NOT check out the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale? While there is a lot of junk in it, there are some true winners. I wanted to round up what I think are the best picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale from my perspective. Some I bought, some I saw and thought were worth pointing out to you if this is something you may need.
I originally wrote this post in 2020 but it makes no sense to keep out of stock items on Wardrobe Oxygen, so I updated it for 2024. I highly recommend you use my tips to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, but in case you need inspiration to see if the sale is worth it for you, see my picks below.
My Picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: 2024 Edition
Below I share my picks from the 2024 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. As always, I want to hear from you! If you have some great picks you bought or have on your wish list for this sale, please share in the comments!
If I needed a raincoat, I would order this packable one from Cole Haan. Usually $300, it's on sale for $149.99. It comes in 5 colors and sizes XS (0-2) -XL (16-18). I appreciate the drawcord waist and hood, the longer length, the machine washability, and the fact that it packs into a matching drawstring pouch.
This rain jacket from Lole also caught my eye because it is 100% polyester and advertised as waterPROOF not water resistant. I have no experience with this brand, but it too has a drawcord hood and waist, packs down small for travel, and can be washed in the machine. Three colors, sizes XS-XL and it supposedly runs large. On sale for $115.99.
I am getting a pair of these RVCA athletic shorts for my husband. They have an elastic and drawstring waist, a 7.5″ inseam that is good for his long legs, front welt pockets, and a back zip pocket. They're moisture-wicking and the type he likes for running, working out, and hanging out in the summer. He also likes the brand. They're on sale for $39.99.
I find Kut from the Kloth to be a nice quality, well-fitting brand of denim. The weight and washes are cool, and there is no weird logos or trim to make them stand out or look dated in a year. If you're looking for a denim jacket, this one (link to misses and link to plus) looks like a great choice with 2% spandex to offer that bit of give and comfort. No plus tax, both the misses and the plus size versions are on sale for $72.99.
And the randoms…
- Do I need this cool printed quilted belted coat? No. Do I want it? Hells yeah!
So folks… I hadn’t finished this before going away for the weekend. I thought it was in draft form and it wasn’t! Ack! But folks do share below any wins you’ve found and I’ll update accordingly next week with what’s in stock! Thank you to Krista for giving me the heads up this went live! Thank you and sorry all!

I had a Lole jacket I loved until I got to too heavy to wear it. But based on how that jacket looked and performed, I would definitely try another piece from Lole.
Awesome thank you for this!
The bombas socks are a good deal- better than the occasional sales Bombas does. I love their socks and today was the first time size small hadn’t sold out before I could shop.
Thanks for this tip! I love Bombas
Thanks for your tips on shopping this sale – without your advice I would not have realized I still qualify to buy today.
I was drawn to the Chelsea28 chiffon tiered dress in blurred teal/black, but have had to bracket size it. Not sure how I feel about ties in the back v, and maybe a little dark for MoB in March, tho I do well in this color scheme and its not a formal wedding. this could be only the beginning of a months long project – I’ll know when I try it on. If I love it, they can tailor appropriately.
Alison, the randoms seem to be cut off as of ~9am your time
Thanks for the recommendation for the Goop powder with foundation. I never thought of using that sort of product for my part and I really need it.
I did really well with jeans at the sale. I am a big Frame fan and there were some good options. Also AG. I had to order a bunch of stuff that was not in the store, hopefully there will be some other gems.
My Nordstrom stylist (I have been shopping with her for 18 years!) mentioned only about half of the sale inventory has arrived. So, it’s definitely a good idea to check back if things are sold out or not available initially, which is always a good idea for this sale but especially true this year.
Is posting on the fritz again? I tried posting my wishlist here but it didn’t take.
Anything with more than two links gets caught in spam. Just found it and posted it! Thank you!
Thank you for this list. I’ve ordered a couple of things, but its still so hard to understand what the “new normal’ will look like, we are going to a hybrid work schedule in September, that for now is only planned thru Dec. so what then? And how does casual look in an office now? So I’m being even pickier that ever.
“The whole skinny jean/ankle bootie/shacket/blanket scarf/felt fedora/vintage-looking band tee shirt is sort of played out.”
I audibly snorted when I read this. Nicely done. Thanks for the post.
Not sure these links will work, but here’s some of what I’m looking at:

I don’t get to shop the sale until tomorrow and one item–a belted Good American blazer in cobalt and black–has already sold out. But I’m keeping my eye on the solid black one, plus a surplice dress from Tahari, a couple pieces from Boss (fits me well–not cheap but sale prices are tolerable), a Kurt Geiger bag, and a couple of beauty items.
Thanks for keeping it real! I agree that a lot of the sale this year feels like Been There, Done That. That said, I will probably order another set of our favorite cotton sheets (Nordstrom brand) and my favorite lip balm from Malin+Goetz. Other than that, I might try a couple Zella pieces for size and comfort. Or not.
Thanks Alison! I didn’t think I was shopping the Nordstrom sale, but you pointed out some things I decided to try for.
Impressive job of sifting and compiling–and while on vacation, no less!
I too have lost much of my enthusiasm for NAS, although I seem to have had no trouble putting together a wish list anyway. Standouts for me are the Avec Les Filles waterproof quilted trenchcoat in Caramel (it *will* rain again in California, won’t it? please?), Vionic sneakers (this brand is perfect for my fussy feet, and I’ve happily paid full price), Paul Green suede sneakers in Nut Combo (still spendy, but great quality; they may be too flat for me, though), AG Ex-Boyfriend Relaxed Jeans (a label I trust, and the silhouette is appealing), and the Vince half-zip cotton sweater. I should note that I’m generally a straight-up Medium in clothing and a 6.5M in shoes, although I see that some of my picks come in extended sizes.
Just wanted to add that I’ve been enjoying your blog and IG feed for a while but this is my first comment!
Thanks for commenting, Nancy! And I love your list!
I’m glad you put this together; I always enjoy your picks! You definitely have not picked the same few things that are showing up on other blogs. How does one person wear that many ankle boots & sweaters?? And I say this as someone who loves shoes! Lol! I will say, I’ve put some straight leg jeans on my wishlist. I may not order anything, & who knows what will be left when the regular people get access, but I decided I’d use the wishlist idea, just in case. I’m so disappointed in myself because I lost a bit of weight last summer but I’ve managed to gain back some this past year, making it a bit tricky with sizes. At least there are free returns!
I ordered that All Saints bag in the lighter beige color – love the unique shape! Can’t wait to see if it looks as good IRL 🙂 From shopping past sales, I have a good stock of basics, so this year just chose to buy a few “splurge” pieces to add some pizzazz to my closet. After 18 months of living in joggers and tees, I’m ready to have a little fun with fashion this fall! My three favorite items were this All Saints handbag, a Sam Edelman peplum leather jacket in a lovely gray, and a Good American tie waist blazer in a navy/black combo! Oh, and I got my daughter some shearling-lined sneakers to keep her toes toasty when she visits her boyfriend in Chicago this winter – she’s a Miami girl so the cold is not her friend!
I saw that blazer, it looks gorgeous! Let me know what you think of it!
