Best Sweater Deals
Sweaters may be year-round staples, but now more than ever, you'll want a few more options for your winter outfit rotation. There's every kind of sweater you can imagine on sale, so whether you're in the market for a layering-friendly V-neck or a cashmere knit for cozying up, you'll find a chic, discounted option during Nordstrom's Half Yearly sale.
Best Denim Deals
If you're anything like me, you wear jeans weekly, so stocking up on a fresh pair or two is never a bad idea. Now, while you'll find major discounts, is the best time to try out a winter denim trend. I suggest a pair of Katie Holmes-approved barrel jeans or a number of wide-legged, baggy jeans, slowly earning their staple status among the fashion crowd.
Best Jacket Deals
You won't make it very far this season without a trusted winter coat or jacket. Opt for a thick puffer jacket or classic wool coat to beat the frigid temps in style. Or if you live in a warmer climate, a cool leather jacket will serve you just fine. These options and every other type of coat for that matter are all at a steep discount during Nordstrom's Half Yearly sale.
Best Boot Deals
Boots are the quintessential winter shoe—they keep you warm and secure through slick city streets, and they are some of the trendiest winter shoes. If you have any gaps in your collection, you can find every type of boot at up to 60 percent off. Think: essential knee-high boots, classic ankle styles, and of-the-moment slouchy and moto boots.

Best Sneaker Deals
Cool, trendy sneakers are the one shoe style that will never get old. They're the only shoes you can walk for miles in, and they pair with just about everything in your closet. Refresh your collection with neutral and colorful styles from celebrity-loved sneaker brands like Puma, New Balance, and Tory Burch.
Best Skincare Deals
Nordstrom's Half Yearly sale is the perfect time to restock your skincare go-to's or find a new favorite. There's plenty of cult-favorite brands included from Kiehl's Since 1851 to Clinique and St. Tropez. If you've had your eye on a buzzy skincare device like an LED face mask or a microcurrent facial device, you can score one at a major discount, too.
Best Makeup Deals
With a sale as good as Nordstrom's Half Yearly Sale, it doesn't take much convincing for me to try a new makeup product. From our editors' favorite Bobbi Brown products to luxurious Tom Ford finds, this sale is a makeup lover's dream. Even better, there's a ton of beauty gift sets on sale so you can get more bang for your buck.
Best Fragrance Deals
Any perfume lover knows that a new fragrance does not come cheap, which is why I never pass up the opportunity to buy one on sale. Nordstrom's sale includes some of my favorite perfume brands like Ellis Brooklyn and Henry Rose. Tom Ford perfumes are even included at 15 percent off, which doesn't happen too often.
Best Haircare Deals
If your current haircare routine hasn't been doing much for you, now's the time for an upgrade. For starters, the world-class Dyson Nural Hair Dryer is $100 off, and once you try it, you won't want to go back to anything else. Then, my all-time favorite dry shampoo is on sale from Bumble and Bumble, so you can bet it's already in my shopping cart. And if you need new shampoo or conditioner, there are plenty of sale brands to choose from.
