Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale: My Picks for 2026

The Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale is here and and runs through June 1st. This sale is very similar to the July Nordstrom Anniversary Sale in which select items are up to 60% off and it is a mix of last-season clearance and new items you can wear this season. You can shop the entire sale at this link.

I think the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale has a few winners that may be worth your time and money if you're looking to expand your wardrobe. I don't believe in shopping just to shop, but it is when you may be unpacking your warm-weather clothes and realize there are some holes in your closet, or a few new pieces may make your closet feel more cohesive and modern.

Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale: My Picks for 2026

There are over 79,000 products in the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale and almost 700 pages of women's apparel alone, so I went through it to share my picks that may be worth both your time and money. I may be missing some serious deals and awesome items, so do check out the sale for yourself. But use my guide on how to shop Nordstrom sales like a pro to narrow down the list and save time (and buying something you really don't need).

I didn't focus on a lot of clothing because sizes are really limited, but I do think this sale is still worth shopping and I share my picks below. This sale is a fast-moving one and when items are sold out, they're gone for the rest of the sale. Don't hesitate, and don't blame me if items are out of stock by time this is published!

Best Sneakers in the Nordstrom Sale

Sneakers are a good buy for this kind of sale because it's usually a now-discontinued color of an otherwise great shoe. From highly rated running shoes to low-profile trendy styles, there are some really good buys for sneakers this year. Just don't buy just to buy; get what appeals to you as it's mostly about color choice this sale.

Shop the Collage: one | two (my personal pick) | three (love this color) | four (love the look of these) | five | six | seven | eight (own in a different color) | nine | ten | eleven | twelve

Best Jeans in the Nordstrom Sale

Jeans are like sneakers: certain styles or colors are on sale because they are being discontinued, but that doesn't mean there is anything wrong with them or even that they are going out of fashion. It's a good time to get great labels for less, but know size and selection is super limited so shop quickly.

Top row: one | two | three | four
Bottom row: one | two | three | four

Best Bras in the Nordstrom Sale

Again, it's about color and unlike the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale you're not likely to find factory-quality bras created just for a lower price. Sizes and stock are limited but it's worth it to narrow down just to bras (this is the category already narrowed down) and then your size to find any sale gems.

Top row: one | two (I own, and also recommend) | three | four (I own)
Bottom row: one | two | three | four

Best Work Bags in the Nordstrom Sale

There are some good deals on work totes and backpacks, and a lot of designer bags on sale making them the price of lower-tier labels. Some work bags I found:

Top row: one | two | three | four | five
Middle row: one | two | three
Bottom row: one | two | three | four

Best Occasion and Mother of the Bride Dresses in the Nordstrom Sale

It's wedding guest and gala season, and I know many of you have asked me for an updated post on good dresses for such occasions. It's in the queue but I wanted to get through all these sales so content is current. But in the meantime, the Nordstrom sale is one to check to see if you can find a good dress for less. I focused on higher-rated styles, and it's a mix of now and cooler seasons.

Top row: one | two | three | four | five | six
Bottom row: one | two | three | four | five | six

Best Day Dresses & Vacation Dresses in the Nordstrom Sale

I am impressed by the number of good dresses in this sale and from good labels too (you know my love of Lauren Ralph Lauren and there's a lot available). These are the ones that caught my eye and had good reviews, too:

Top row: one | two | three | four | five
Bottom row: one | two | three | four | five

Best Shoes in the Nordstrom Sale

You would think I would be including the Birkenstock sandals in this list, but I have been burned before by finding the sale colors were on sale for good reason: hard to match, stained my feet, etc. So I stuck to higher-rated styles and brands I know and styles that work now and are relatively timeless:

Shop the collage: one | two | three | four | five (my friend has, they're cute IRL) | six (great for outdoor weddings) | seven | eight

Best Accessories in the Nordstrom Sale

Sun hats, sunglasses, occasion earrings, Apple watch bands, and travel bags abound in this sale. Some of the ones that caught my eye:

Shop the collage: one | two | three | four | five | six | seven | eight | nine | ten | eleven | twelve | thirteen | fourteen | fifteen | sixteen | seventeen | eighteen | nineteen | twenty | twenty-one (I own) | twenty-two

Clearly, this isn't all that is available at the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale. If you're shopping for home, men, kids, or intimates, it's worth a gander. Just shop soon because while creating this post I had to update because items ended up sold out! Let me know if you scored any deals during this sale!
