We Found The Must-Haves From Nordstrom’s Annual Mid-Year Sale—You Could Score Up To 60% Off!

May 20, 2025 by Brooke Hardington

 

My favorite part of major holidays is the sales.

Holidays like Black Friday, President’s Day weekend, Labor Day, and July 4 all go hand-in-hand with major markdowns—and Memorial Day is no exception. From today, May 20, through June 1, Nordstrom is running its Half-Yearly Sale. The sale offers huge discounts (up to 60% off!) across major name brand labels like Steve Madden and AllSaints, just in time to help you revamp your wardrobe and beauty routine for summer.

To make shopping a little easier, I’ve rounded up the sale’s must-have pieces so you can scoop them up before they’re gone. Remember, you can score some of these gems for up to 60% off.

Ready, set, shop!

Everyday Essentials You’ll Actually Wear

There’s something to be said about trends, but there’s also a case to be made for closet staples. These goodies aren’t just basics—they’re the pieces you’ll wear on repeat!

KUT From The Kloth Rachel Fab Ab High Waist Raw Hem Crop Jeans ($59.40)

With a high waist and slim, tapered crop legs, these jeans are giving ’90s vibes. More importantly, this fit will flatter everyone, and it’s now majorly marked down.

Open Edit Matte Satin Tee ($34.65)

A soft and breathable tee that’s 30% off? Say no more!

Zella Studio Luxe High Waist Pocket 7/8 Leggings ($47.40)

Made from a stretch-nylon fabric, and featuring a supportive mesh layer along with a handy storage pocket, these cult favorite leggings are just as chic as they are practical. Wear them to the gym…or not. (We won’t tell!)

Caslon Linen Blend Short Sleeve Button-Up Shirt ($41.65)

Nothing screams summer like linen. This breezy linen blend button-up feels more polished than your basic comfy T-shirt, and it goes with everything. Obsessed!

Vince Camuto Colin Loafer ($71.40)

I love how these loafers up the glam appeal with gold tone hardware, yet are casual enough for everyday wear. Think chic comfort that transitions from errands to office to after-work drinks (and everything in between).

Trend Pieces Worth Snagging Now

If you’re all set on everyday essentials, rest assured that Nordstrom’s sale features plenty of trendy pieces. These are the fresh silhouettes and eye-catching textures you’ll be glad you grabbed while they were on sale!

Brooklyn Industries River Oversize Denim Jacket ($76.80)

On those balmy summer nights when you need a light outer layer, this slouchy denim jacket will be your go-to. Trust me when I say it’ll give your whole outfit Cool Girl energy.

SOREL Dayspring Platform Slide Sandal ($90)

Chunky platform meets block heel in this retro slide sandal that also gives you extra comfort. Consumers call them “stylish and comfortable enough to walk in all day.”

AllSaints Half Moon Leather Shoulder Bag ($119.60)

Calling anyone in need of a new bag (me)! This gorgeous shoulder bag checks all the boxes: Soft leather, edgy, curved shape, and major markdown.

Steve Madden Tori Belted Ruched Slub Midi Shirtdress ($99)

I’ve always had a thing for shirtdresses, but as a tall lady, I struggle to find shirtdresses that aren’t too short. Falling at mid-calf, this shirtdress is the perfect length; plus the ruching and belt tie give it a unique twist (no pun intended).

The Chicest Deals Under $100

Chic doesn’t always translate to a big price tag. These finds may look luxe, but at under $100, your bank account will thank you.

COACH 55mm Cat Eye Sunglasses ($196)

Designer, but without the price tag? Sign me up! These sweeping cat-eye lenses flatter every face shape and that color scheme is perfect for summer.

Barefoot Dreams CozyChic™ Lite Island Cardigan ($93.75)

If you, like me, often drape yourself in a blanket when working from home, then you need to upgrade with this draped wrap cardigan. Plush, conveniently pocketed, and perfectly snuggly, it’s the ideal cozy layer.

Honeydew Sunday Rest Print Short Sleeve Satin Pajamas ($26.99)

Getting dressed in the morning feels overrated when you already look this cute in a print satin PJ set. This is cute and soft sleepwear that feels just like self-care.

Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream ($26)

Formulated with Squalane and Pro-Ceramides, this ultra-hydrating facial cream is clinically demonstrated to hydrate 15 layers deep. The end result? Softer, smoother, and healthier-looking skin.

MAC Cosmetics Brushstroke Liquid Eyeliner Pen ($25)

Every beauty-obsessed person knows the power of a good liquid eyeliner pen. MAC Cosmetics’ quality option is water-resistant with a precision brush tip, promising to stay in place for 24 hours.
