When one sale ends, another begins — or at least that seems to be Nordstrom’s approach to keeping our shopping lists interesting. Following closely after its 2026 Anniversary Sale, the retailer has unveiled its End of Season Sale, with select styles now up to 50 percent off.

The latest markdowns arrive at an opportune moment (read: Labor Day weekend), when summer dressing is still very much in rotation, but fall is already making its presence known. That means there’s plenty to browse for both sides of the seasonal equation, including handbags, transitional tops, designer accessories, and footwear from Coach, Reformation, Adidas, and Puma.

The real plot twist? Some of the sale’s most tempting finds are styles that shoppers may recognize from last month’s Anniversary Sale, now available at even deeper discounts. For anyone who bookmarked a favorite and held off on purchasing, this is the kind of follow-up worth paying attention to.

Among the buzziest finds are the Adidas and Puma ballet sneakers that have become something of a fashion phenomenon. Their inclusion in the sale feels like a particularly good reason to scroll a little further, especially for shoppers who have been waiting for the right moment to try the trend.

Beyond the viral styles, the End of Season Sale offers plenty of practical wardrobe additions, too. Think handbags that can carry into fall, tops that work beneath a jacket, and accessories that give summer staples a fresh lease on life.

So, while the Anniversary Sale may be over, Nordstrom clearly isn’t finished giving us reasons to shop. Consider this the sequel — and, in some cases, the better deal.

Best Fashion Deals to Shop During Nordstrom’s End of Season Sale

Best Trendy Shoe

Puma Speedcat Ballet Suede Sneaker

$45 $100 55% off

Buy Now at nordstrom

Leave it to Puma to turn a racing-inspired icon into one of the season’s buzziest ballet sneakers. The Speedcat Ballet Suede combines its signature streamlined profile with soft elastic straps, while the chocolate brown colorway gives the trend a decidedly fall-ready feel.

Best Basic Top

Reformation Hudson Knit Tank

$46.80 $78 40% off

Buy Now at nordstrom

Simple? Yes. Boring? Absolutely not. Reformation’s Hudson Knit Top gives the everyday knit a fashion-minded update with a sleek ribbed fit, boat neckline, asymmetric hem, and side-button detail.

Best Fall Crossbody

Tory Burch Limited Edition Convertible Crossbody Bag

$283.99 $425 33% off

Buy Now at nordstrom

This is the kind of handbag that earns its spot in your rotation. Tory Burch keeps the design sleek and understated, while the removable strap gives you the option to wear it crossbody or carry it as a clutch.

Easy to Style

Coach Sculpted C Loafer

$113.75 $175 35% off

Buy Now at nordstrom

Some shoes just have a knack for making an outfit look instantly more put together. Coach’s Sculpted C Loafer does exactly that, with a classic silhouette and signature hardware that gives it a distinctly Coach finish.

Best Wool Staple

Nordstrom Merino Wool Sweater Jacket

$89.50 $179 50% off

Buy Now at nordstrom

As far as fall layers go, we would happily make room for this one. Crafted from 100 percent merino wool, the sweater jacket has a streamlined, figure-skimming shape that feels a little more substantial than your average cardigan.

Best Designer Deal

Celine Bold 3 Dots 51mm Rectangular Sunglasses

$249.99 $480 48% off

Buy Now at nordstrom

The ’90s influence is obvious, but the execution is what makes these feel fresh. Celine’s Bold 3 Dots sunglasses use a bold rectangular silhouette to give the retro shape some presence, while the signature three-dot detail keeps the look unmistakably Celine.

Best Semi-Formal Dress Deal

Donna Karan New York Halter Midi Dress

$131.40 $219 40% off

Buy Now at Nordstrom

Some dresses ask for accessories, styling tricks, and a small amount of patience. This Donna Karan New York number asks for considerably less, thanks to its crossover halter neckline, front buttons, and easy A-line silhouette.

Best Wedding Guest Dress

ASTR The Label Ovina Party Dress

$89 $178 50% off

Buy Now at nordstrom

Autumn weddings have their own dress code, somewhere between romantic and seasonally appropriate, and this ASTR the Label number gets the memo. The Ovina Party Dress comes in a warm spice-brown hue and has a square neckline and shirred skirt that give the midi silhouette plenty of movement.

Sell-Out Risk

Adidas Taekwondo Mei Ballet Flat

$65 $110 41% off

Buy Now at nordstrom

Summer may have belonged to the Taekwondo Mei, but fall is giving us a new way to wear it. The Adidas ballet sneaker looks unexpectedly charming with frilly socks, creating just the right tension between its athletic roots and a more romantic fall wardrobe.
