Deal hunters, assemble! The Nordstrom Half-Yearly sale—the retailer’s biannual savings event with discounts up to 60% off—is coming to a close, and it’s time to finalize your carts. While you can find a little of everything, sure, I’m most excited about the clothes and accessories. So many current-season pieces are included in the markdowns, meaning plenty of summer’s biggest fashion trends are up for grabs. Barrel jeans? Drop-waist dresses? Colorful sneakers? Check, check, check.
The Nordstrom Half-Yearly sale wraps up on Sunday, June 1, so you’ll have to act fast. (Plenty of the coolest finds, including from designer labels like Staud and Tory Burch, are starting to sell out.) So in the interest of getting your warm-weather wardrobe into shape, I went ahead and curated the absolute trendiest fashion deals below. Get going before the discounts disappear for good.
Glamour’s Nordstrom Half-Yearly sale wish list
1. Coastal chic
Everyone’s dressing like they live seaside this season, whether or not there’s an actual body of water nearby. Breton stripes, fisherman sandals, shell motifs—anything that could remind you of the ocean is very much in play, and plenty of it is currently on sale at Nordstrom. In fact, these four pieces would make an incredible outfit.
2. Bucket bags
Buckets popped up at plenty of our favorite spring-summer runway shows, including Prada and Gucci, and we couldn’t be happier that they’re trending. Few silhouettes feel as laidback and summery; it’s the perfect on-the-go companion, especially for exploring a new place on vacation. And these designer picks are way cheaper than usual right now. Thanks, Nordy!
3. Colorful sneakers
It’s officially time to give your white sneakers a break, even if it’s just for a season. I’ve been seeing so many candy-colored kicks out in the wild, and everyone from Emily Ratajkowski and Charli XCX is on board with the look. Go low-key in sky-blue court shoes or make your plainer outfits pop with bold red or yellow.
4. Drop-waist silhouettes
Drop-waist dresses and skirts offer an easygoing elegance that’ll meet the moment at any dressy occasion—dinner dates, backyard birthdays, fancy brunches, you name it. Whether you need a stunner of a wedding guest dress or a trendy addition to your work wardrobe, these discounted gems belong in your summer rotation.
5. Romantic eyelets
Many of summer’s cutest skirts, dresses, and blouses feature delicate eyelets. The detailing is adjacent to 2025’s big boho revival and nods at the sheer look that’s so hot in fashion right now—while keeping things wearable. These dresses are perfect for casual celebrations, while the separates below will pair well with your favorite jeans and T-shirts.
6. T-strap sandals
In the mood for something a little more elevated than flip-flops? These trendy sandals are the answer. I’ve been seeing more and more T-straps on my feed, and all of these picks could almost pass for The Row (especially styled with roomy shorts or relaxed linen pants). Better yet, thanks to its ankle strap, this silhouette is a little more walking-friendly than other options.
7. Barrel jeans
If you haven’t yet hopped on the barrel jeans bandwagon, now’s your chance to do it while the trendy denim is on sale. While Glamour staffers were initially skeptical of the cut, we’ve been proven wrong: It’s universally flattering and lends an editorial edge to your usual denim rotation. One editor recommends the Pistola pair below for petite people, while another loves Madewell’s subtler, easy-to-wear take.
