The Must-Have Designer Pieces to Shop Before Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale Ends

2 min read

Since I first discovered online shopping, Nordstrom has remained one of my favorite retailers. Beyond its vast (and reliably chic) selection of brands, fast shipping, and seamless returns, I’m always combing through the sale section for designer markdowns that are actually worth adding to cart. With less than a week left of the Anniversary Sale, which officially ends August 9, now is the final opportunity to stock up on stylish warm-weather staples to carry you through the rest of the season. And what better place to start than with designer pieces at refreshingly reduced prices?

With a few late-summer trips on my calendar, I’m approaching this sale as the perfect excuse to update my rotation. At the top of my list: a breezy midi or maxi dress that transitions seamlessly from vacation to the office, along with polished accessories that instantly elevate the pieces I already own. I’m also eyeing those finishing touches—a new bag or classic stud earrings—that make even the simplest outfit feel considered. Currently sitting in my cart? Sleek Prada sunnies, an effortless pair of summer pants, and a crisp button-up that will work well beyond the season.

Then there are the unexpected finds—pieces I’ve been eyeing that are, surprisingly, included in the sale. To spare you the endless scroll, I rounded up the best designer pieces to shop before the sale ends, from beloved brands like Prada, Saint Laurent, Staud, and more.
