These Designer Sale Picks From Nordstrom Will Elevate Your Spring Wardrobe
Your guide to looking expensive, without paying thousands of dollars.


While it’s tempting to shop for luxe designer clothes and accessories, such as opulent fur jackets and glossy designer handbags, my wallet simply can’t handle exorbitant prices. However, I have a workaround for expanding my collection of high-end pieces without breaking the bank. My solution? It has everything to do with Nordstrom’s latest blockbuster sale.
From now until Monday, February 17, Nordstrom is offering up to 60 percent off across a variety of categories. While scrolling through the sale section, I discovered a Proenza Schouler midi dress for $297. To put things in perspective, this luxe frock was originally almost $1,000. I also came across a pair of Stella McCartney loafers that dropped in price from $750 to $300. Bottom line? These markdowns are simply too good to miss out on.
So, if you’re also on a mission to create a rotation of rich-looking outfits without maxing out your credit card, scroll on. Ahead, you’ll find a selection of hand-picked sale finds that feature remarkable discounts. Most of these items check the “transeasonal” box, so they’re ideal for spring. If something catches your eye, I’d suggest you act fast. The styles below are selling swiftly; who knows when you’ll see these prices again.
Designer Tops on Sale
If you’re searching for a straightforward top to add to your capsule wardrobe, BITE Studios has just what you need. Stitched with soft, crinkled cotton, you’ll wear the brand’s comfy button-up shirt on repeat. To make more of a statement, opt for Alice + Olivia's floral-print blouse or Miaou’s cropped cardigan—both of which will cause heads to turn.
Designer Bottoms on Sale
You can never go wrong with a classic denim maxi skirt—LouLou de Saison will agree. Of course, baggy pants and tailored trousers are also closet mainstays that will always remain in style. Invest in the options below, and thank me later.
Designer Dresses on Sale
Both Proenza Schouler and Lafayette 148 have dainty white dresses that will fit right into your warm-weather wardrobe. It might be chilly now, but it’s not too early to start thinking about your spring capsule wardrobe. Should you need a little black dress, Miaou has one that showcases a flattering corset bodice and a cute sweetheart neckline.
Designer Outerwear on Sale
With temperatures soon to be on the rise, it’s almost time to ditch your hefty winter jackets and coats for lightweight layers that offer a breezy feel. Try Maccapani or Diotima for neutral-toned blazers that will go well with just about any pair of bottoms. You could also go for Rejina Pyo’s faux leather jacket if you’re in more of an edgy mood.
Designer Shoes on Sale
Ask any style expert about the best spring shoes, and they’ll likely point you in the direction of ballet flats, kitten heels, and loafers. Unlike heavy snow boots, these shoes provide lightweight constructions suitable for balmy days. Thanks to JW Anderson, Toteme, and Stella McCartney, you can consider your spring footwear lineup complete.
Designer Bags on Sale
No spring outfit is fully styled without an elegant handbag. Marni and Strathberry have versatile alternatives plastered in pared-down shades of black and brown. Meanwhile, for an option that sings a more maximalist tune, select Simone Rocha’s bow-adorned shoulder bag drenched in a pastel pink hue.
