We always seem to budget a little extra for clothes during the times of year that Nordstrom gifts us with a sale, and the 2021 Anniversary Sale is packed with justifiable-or-just-about deals on splurges like luxe (but practical!) women’s and men’s clothes, home decor upgrades like weighted plush blankets and pampering beauty and skin care products.
There are thousands of items on sale, and now that all the deals are open to the public (Nordstrom cardholders got early access beginning a few weeks ago), we’ve gone through and rounded up some of the best splurge-worthy bargains from its Anniversary Sale. Read on for 20 of our best men’s, women’s, home and beauty picks.
Women’s styles
Matouk Cairo Terry Robe ($159.90, originally $225; nordstrom.com)
This is the plush spa robe you’ve been dreaming about — and right now it’s almost $70 off. Made in Portugal, it’s woven from Matouk’s famous terry and comes in a pearly shade of silver-white (and there are pockets!).
Paul Green Jada Lug Sole Chelsea Boot ($299.90, originally $449; nordstrom.com)
These Paul Green rain boots take the wellies and give them a much-needed update with chunky soles, a close-fitting ankle height and Chelsea boot inspiration. They go with pretty much everything, from cropped boyfriend-style jeans to miniskirts with ’90s vibes.
Bernardo Oversize Double-Breasted Faux Fur Coat ($129.90, originally $234; nordstrom.com)
Yes, it’s July, but you should absolutely buy a wool coat for the winter ahead, especially when it’s $100 off. This double-breasted coat has cool, European-girl oversize draping and is made from faux fur that feels as cozy as it looks on cold winter days.
Vince Rib Trim Woven Top ($159.90, originally $265; nordstrom.com)
Your favorite boxy T-shirt has been upgraded to this dressy version of the wardrobe staple. The shape is perfectly slouchy and it’s extremely “layerable,” making it great for both work and play.
Home goods

This sleek trunk-style bag gives you a ton of capacity for longer trips (or shopping on the ground) with dimensions of 30 inches by 16 inches by 15 inches. Hard sides keep your delicate items protected, and the open-ended interior organization is perfect for those who prefer modular packing cubes or flexibility over a ton of pockets and zips.

A version including the Prime model of the Theragun is also on sale for $315 instead of $473.
Unhide Blanket ($129.90, originally $195; nordstrom.com)
This just-about-5-star-rated throw blanket ties in two of our favorite blanket features: a calming heavyweight construction and a super-soft plush outer for extra-cozy Netflix or reading sessions — and it’s made almost entirely from recycled materials too.
Pom Pom at Home Linen Sheet Set ($338.90, originally $506; nordstrom.com)
Take it from us: Linen sheets can make a huge difference in the summer if you’re a hot sleeper. They keep air circulating in the warm weather and keep you delightfully warm in the winter too, so shop this luxe set while it’s on sale.

Theory Amir Reversible Bomber Jacket ($249; originally $425; nordstrom.com)

Vince Franklin Water-Resistant Slip-On Sneaker ($159.90, originally $250; nordstrom.com)
