Looking for menswear deals beyond what the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has to offer? Start here. Don’t miss what our readers—that’s you!—couldn’t stop buying this month, either.
In case you’ve been living under a rock with very shaky Wi-Fi, Amazon Prime Day returns tomorrow, July 16th. It’s a big deal. So big, in fact, that when we heard that Nordstrom’s annual Anniversary Sale would kick off a day before it, we laughed at the audacity. (Forgot The Shade Room: This is drama we live for.) Once we saw the discounts Nordstrom had in store, though, we stopped laughing pretty fast. The retailer’s tentpole savings bonanza might not boast the same SEO juice as its Bezos-backed counterpart, but it’s absolutely teaming with major deals on menswear essentials, home goods, caddy-shower upgrades, and so much more, all of it at least 20% off.
If you’re already exhausted by the sheer onslaught of savings, relax: we scoured the entirety of the sale—no “next page” buttons were harmed in the process, we swear—to ID the best of what this year’s Nordstrom Anniversary sale has to offer, across every department involved. Act fast, though: Anyone who’s played this game before knows that the savings, and the inventory, won’t last long.
5 Instant-Buys From Nordstrom’s Blowout Sale

Better Basics
We love a kooky cardigan as much as anyone—probably more, frankly!—but the time-tested workhorses, the pieces you rely on to get you through the weekly slog, are a lot more important. And though we absolutely condone paying full-price for something you’ll wear, conservatively, hundreds of times, there’s no better time to re-up, replace, or rediscover a daily driver than when it’s on sale.
Superlative Shoes
Whether you’re on the hunt for sneakers, sandals, or slip-ons, there’s a summer shoe for you on Nordstrom’s digital shelves—including all-time classic kicks, like the Nike Waffle Racer and Adidas Gazelle. Oh, and if you’ve even thought about thinking about getting into running, some of the buzziest entry-level models on the market are yours for the saving.
A-List Accessories
Sunglasses get a lot of attention when it comes to warm-weather accessories, but 1) the sun is a year-round concern and 2) there’s an entire world of luxe, outfit-elevating items you should be wearing right now. Belts, bags, watches—you name it, Nordstrom’s got it on sale. There are some killer shades in the mix, too. (Like, a lot of them.) Sue us.
Unreal Grooming Upgrades
Remember all those things we said about about reliable workhorses and closet reinforcements? When it comes to grooming products on sale, forgot ’em. If you’ve ever wondered whether, say, a swanky face scrub or beard balm is worth it, now’s the time to find out. You’ll know soon enough.
God-Tier Home Goods
We can’t be the only folks with a couple of gaps in our home goods catalog, so we were especially stoked to see the sick range of sheet sets, towels, candles and more peppered throughout the Anniversary Sale. The feeling you get popping the tag off a new piece of clothing should be a Class A narcotic. But the feeling you get using new towels for the first time? Downright euphoric. Trust us: Most guests will be far more impressed with the contents of your linen closet than the contents of your closet closet.
Elevated Summer Essentials
Unless you’re reading this sequestered away in the southern hemisphere or on the peak of a mountain, you’re all-too-aware of the historic temperature-related circumstances plaguing us right now. And while those circumstances very much hinder certain outdoor activities, there’s still a ton of quality gear that will make whatever sun-drenched plans you have a smidge more tolerable. Start with these.
