    One of the perks of living in New York City is that the entire city doubles as a street style mood board. Walking everywhere means a high step count and an alarming amount of money spent on iced coffee and little treats, but it also means getting a constant look at what the city's best-dressed people are wearing. The first wave of Nordstrom Anniversary Sale finds is already trickling onto the streets, from discounted designer denim to lightweight layers that are putting in work before fall officially arrives. And while heavier jackets and knits may not be getting their full sidewalk debut (yet!), it isn't difficult to predict what will start appearing everywhere the second the temperature drops.

    Which is exactly why the sale is worth shopping now. No one is exactly begging for sweater weather in July, but waiting until October is how you end up paying full price for the $600 jacket that was just marked down almost 50 percent. From wear-now staples to fall investments worth buying early, these are the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale finds already making their way into the wardrobes of New York's most stylish pedestrians.

    Korey Merino Wool Cardigan

    There are plenty of things to love about this cardigan, but the olive-green color tops the list. It works like a neutral, offering a little break from the usual black and white.

    Hattie Raw Hem High Waist Crop Barrel Leg Jeans
