The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is officially here, which means it’s go time for shoppers looking to refresh their travel gear and summer wardrobe.

Even better, the deals aren’t just last season’s leftovers—the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale slashes prices on new 2026 season favorites. To help you out, I combed through the webpages and handpicked some of the most irresistible deals to snag before your next trip. Read on for a complete guide to the sale, which takes place from July 18 to August 9, including the very best deals to shop now.

Women’s clothing

Nordstrom is one of Traveler editors’ go-to shops for comfortable basics that fit right into our travel uniforms. During the Anniversary Sale, many of the department store’s bestsellers are discounted, including a Nordstrom-made cashmere sweater, which is a great layering piece for plane rides, plus Spanx’s ever-popular AirEssentials wide-leg pants and matching half-zip sweatshirt. You can also find several pieces from Zella, Nordstrom’s in-house athleisure brand, on sale, so it’s worth snapping up a new pair of leggings. The Vuori Villa wide-leg pants have “airport outfit” written all over them, and they’re under $100. Hikers and rainy destination-goers will also appreciate the discount on The North Face’s Antora rain jacket.
