1. Summer Dresses
"Since 2022 is shaping up to be the year of the dress, adding a few to your collection during Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale is a smart move. Finding cute summer dresses on sale is a bonus."
2. Sandals
"After working dozens of Half Yearly Sales, I can confirm that Nordstrom always has an amazing selection of sandals! Look for neutral ones that will work with every summer outfit."
3. Denim
"Denim on sale is probably the best deal of all, especially for the more expensive brands. Go for faded washes and anything light, including white or écru. They're trending right now."
4. Lightweight Jackets/Blazers
"Since jackets and blazers are the finishing piece to every outfit, I love when they're on sale. This is the best opportunity to get this all-important piece. Oversize blazers are first on the list, as well as anything in a bright, pretty color."
5. Summer Blouses
"Pretty summer blouses are definitely worth buying on sale. I would look for anything in white or a brighter color—they'll go perfectly with all your summer denim, as well as over dresses and with skirts."
6. Swimsuits and Cover-Ups
"Stylish swimwear and cover-ups are essentials for the summer season, and giving your collection a refresh always feels good and gets you ready for your next vacation."
7. Summer Accessories
"Summer accessories like sunglasses, totes, or fun jewelry are perfect to grab during Half Yearly, and it's so fun to scour the sale tables for a special find!"
8. Pajamas/Lingerie
"Who doesn't love a fresh pair of pj's? The Nordstrom lingerie department is a favorite during sale time. The choices of pj's, bras, and panties are incredible—now is the time to stock up!"
