I Found 24 Cult Classic Fashion Finds Hiding in Nordstrom’s Summer Sale Section
Tory Burch, Mansur Gavriel, Free People, and more are all secretly on sale.
I've developed a bit of a shopping habit as a shopping editor. While my hobby leads to little sleep (and a lot of screentime), a major plus is that I'm always the first to know about the best deals and sales. This week, I found so many classic summer pieces hiding in Nordstrom's sale section during a late-night scroll session.
The retailer's Half-Yearly Sale just wrapped up, so imagine my surprise when I came across thousands of affordable Nordstrom summer finds on sale. These aren't your average out-of-season deals either. I'm talking about some of team Marie Claire's favorite brands (Tory Burch! Mansur Gavriel!) at a major discount.
I found everything from summer basics and maxi dresses to pretty ballet flats and summery workwear staples, all at prices that match my budget. Once I came across a Lily James-approved Mansur Gavriel bag at 40 percent off, I knew I had to share the news. Ahead, see all the best finds that are too good to miss, but don't wait before adding them to your cart. There's no telling when these items will go back to full price.
Marie Claire's Fashion E-Commerce Editor, Julia Marzovilla tested these linen pants and loved how soft they were from the very first wear. Not only is this essential style reasonably priced and easy to style for many occasions, but they're also very comfortable.
Just because it's summer doesn't mean your workwear should take a backseat. This tailored blazer is a great HR-approved topper for your pretty summer dresses.
Jessica Alba, Katie Holmes, and Naomi Watts are among the many celebs who are fans of Mansur Gavriel's bags. Now, you can nab this bucket bag style for yourself for 40 percent off.
We all need a trusted pair of work sneakers, and this Tory Burch style should be yours. Their streamlined silhouette fits right in with your polished workwear, and nearly every Nordstrom review raves about how comfortable they are.
I'm tempted to grab this classic black pair of flats and the fun lime green shade for a pop of color. Both are on sale now.
This luxurious ribbed-knit dress (which also comes in white and olive green) is the perfect base for all your trendy summer accessories. Pair it with the blazer and flats above for the office, or go casual with strappy sandals or white sneakers.
A button-down shirt never fails me when I don't know what to wear, so I like to have a few in my closet. I'd style this breezy, striped one with a ribbed tank and Bermuda shorts.
Speaking of ribbed tank tops, you'll need one (or a few) in your closet for summer. Coming in at just $15, this is the perfect one to add to your rotation.
Linen pants are a summer must-have, so you'll want to add the striped version to your cart. I just returned from Copenhagen, and all the fashion girls were wearing this striped style with flip-flops.
Mesh ballet flats are picking up even more steam as we head deeper into summer. This best-selling pair comes in a trendy red color, a fun lilac hue, a neutral black colorway, a classic white, and a pretty pink lace iteration.
You can always rely on a classic slip skirt. They pair well with tank tops and T-shirts in the summer and look just as good with knee-high boots and sweaters in the fall.
Is it just me, or is Cheetah print making a comeback? I've been seeing the pattern more and more recently. This flattering swimsuit gets extra style points for its cool whip-stitch trim.
This pretty dress will work for just about any occasion you have lined up this summer. It also comes in shades like lilac, baby blue, and a classic black.
If you're looking for a new tote bag for work, this Tory Burch option is over $100 off. The spacious interior is big enough for all of your 9-to-5 essentials and then some.
The denim maxi skirt craze that swept 2023 is still very much alive and well for summer 2024. This skirt adds an elevated touch to your denim wardrobe.
This white dress sums up my summer fashion moodboard—it's lightweight, comfortable, and takes about zero effort to style. Another bonus? It has pockets!
Finding shoes that work for both your commute and the office isn't easy, but I managed to find this pair that fits the bill. With their square toe and sensible 2-inch heel, these slingback heels are a work wardrobe MVP.
As Marie Claire's Fashion Features Editor, Emma Childs, reports, Bermuda shorts are a reigning summer 2024 trend. Made from a lightweight linen blend, this pair is perfect for higher temperatures. It also comes in a stunning Barbie pink shade for a pop of color.
For summer 2024, opt for bermuda style denim shorts that are longer and slightly baggy for a comfortable, elevated fit. I would pair these with a white top for a cool monochromatic look.
I've been seeing vests everywhere, and I'm planning to partake in the trend. I'm particularly loving this Open Edit version for summer.
I'm obsessed with the print on this floral skirt. The eye-catching colors are gorgeous enough to wear with sweaters, baby tees, and tank tops year-round.
Dakota Johnson and Kaia Gerber have already worn the style, so it's only a matter of time before the Nike Cortez sneaker becomes the go-to footwear of the summer.
I'm sure you have at least one special occasion on your summer agenda and this flowy dress will keep you comfortable and cute for a night full of dancing.
How cool are these brown loafers? The slingback detail adds a summery touch to the workwear staple shoe and creates a unique silhouette.
