Gifting season is over (unless Santa was majorly delayed and won’t make it to your chimney until New Year’s), but this should by no means indicate a pause in your shopping habits. We know how much our readers love a lil’ splurge, but what they appreciate even more than that is a good deal… and Nordstrom’s Half Yearly Sale has some of the very best ones out there. Seriously — it’s hard to compete with its markdowns of up to 60 percent off on luxury, designer finds across fashion, beauty, and home. That being said, it’s even harder to replicate the speed at which the mega retailer restocks its sold-out pieces and replenishes the online sale section with dozens of new styles very single day.

Nordstrom’s Half Yearly Sale extravaganza runs through January 15 and presents the ideal opportunity for snagging that faux-fur coat, white sneaker pair, and designer handbag of your dreams… all while paying some of the lowest prices ever for the bestsellers in question.
explore the end-of-year nordstrom sale
There are no shortage of just-landed deals available to shop at Nordstrom as we speak, but our editors managed to narrow in on only the best of the best. This means there are no fake markdowns in sight here, and the brands featured are what we like to refer to as “cream of the crop” — the McQueens, Ferragamos, and Fendis of the world, that is. We also curated this roundup with an eye towards what is guaranteed to be trending in the new year, from the perennially popular suede boots to the kinds of versatile outerwear picks that will take you from the work meeting to the dinner date without having to rush back home and change.
At this point in the month, you’re probably not losing sleep over shipping deadlines, but know that Nordstrom will still get the purchases to your door in a week or less. Alternatively, the impatient among us can order online and then choose the “Free Pickup” option at your nearest brick-and-mortar store location.
Other things to love about Nordstrom, Half Yearly Sale notwithstanding: its free returns and free shipping policies with no order minimum, not to mention the ability to get an additional $40 off your order by signing up for the Nordstrom credit card. Savings on savings on savings — we love to see it, and everyone’s favorite shopping destination is here to deliver that in spades.
Now, without further ado, what you’ve no doubt been patiently waiting for all along: the 18 most worth-it buys at Nordstrom’s Half Yearly Sale for every style sensibility and fashion need under the sun. Who knows? Maybe you’ll even find a way of incorporating the below accessories, clothing staples, and footwear into a last-minute NYE outfit.
One thing’s for certain: These deals are sweeter than the questionable cookies you left out for Santa.

McQueen Belted Cotton Poplin Shirtdress
$456 $1,900 76% off
Rarest of deals alert: This Belted Cotton Poplin Shirtdress from McQueen is on sale for a whopping 76 percent off today, meaning we better stop speaking and let you type in your credit card details, stat. It’s truly a wonder how all of its sizes are still around, since the dress, though a better match for spring and summer, is nothing short of steal-worthy. Harnessing 2025’s popular drop-waist silhouette, the 100-percent cotton gem has a crisp collar, elbow-length sleeves, and a tie belt for keeping things looking even more structured. Accessorize with gold jewelry, platform sandals, and a straw bag when the time comes to whip this baby out next year.

Sacai Mixed Media Long Sleeve Wool Suiting & Knit Sweater Dress
$957.60 $1,995 52% off
Luxury, avant-garde Japanese brand Sacai is a cult hit globally, and you can now see what all the hype’s about with its mixed-media sweater dress: remarkably on sale for over half off. Sacai founder Chitose Abe has employed her trademark contrarian approach to curate all the textures here, so you’re sure to encounter both wool suiting fabric and knitwear in this layered, deconstructed-looking frock ideal for winter wear.

The Noli Shop Kaia Pearl High Rise Jean
$148 $198 25% off
A need and not a must, The Noli Shop’s Kaia Pearl High Rise Jean is the dictionary definition of a statement piece. One look at that pearl-dotted, cutout floral embroidery is all it takes to fall in love forever, and there’s also a lot to say about the denim’s accommodating stretchiness, high-rise profile, and instant cool factor. Your next girls’ night out just got an upgrade. “These pants have been popping on my social media feed for a while, and I finally gave in,” says one Nordstrom reviewer. “When I took out the pants from their package, I was a bit worried because they were heavy and looked so big! But they [ended up] fitting perfectly and once you have them on, they’re very lightweight.”

Mango Sabina Faux Leather Jacket
$74.99 $99.99 25% off
It-girl-approved Mango is coming in hot with an all-new Nordstrom arrival: the Sabina, a cropped, sleek leather beaut whose spread collar, flap pockets at the front, and button closure will keep you covered in cold (but not too cold) weather — while that warm brown shade graces ensembles spanning from the formal to the casual and denim-powered. Keep it in your closet beyond winter for transitional-weather days during which you can simply wrap the trendy coat around your hips.

Gianvito Rossi Chopine Slingback
$597 $1,095 45% off
Gianvito Rossi is a red-carpet staple for tastemaking celebs like Rihanna, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Pamela Anderson. Its Italian-made slingbacks are some of the most popular shoe styles, and you can hop on the bandwagon by shopping this Chopine pick in particular. Coming to you with a round toe, 40-millimeter platform, and (the ultimate detail here) a see-through mesh fabric on the upper, the handmade heel will support you from five to nine, nine to five, and back again. PSA: Something this timelessly crafted never goes out of style.

Ferragamo Large New Line Tote
$1,155 $2,200 48% off
Run don’t walk to add Ferragamo to your capsule wardrobe. Seriously, hurry, as there’s only one (we repeat: one) Large New Line Tote available from the brand at Nordstrom. It’s pricey, sure, but the daily commuter bag can moonlight as a going-out purse, and its baby-soft Italian leather is complemented by the label’s signature hardware in a classy way. The bag’s also gusseted, meaning it expands to more than what first meets the eye — providing space for your laptop, notebook, wallet, and anything else an on-the-go fashionista might need on a daily basis.

Fendi Fine Geometric Sunglasses
$145 $290 50% off
Meet Fendi’s 59-millimeter sunglasses, whose oversized style and speckled-brown acetate frames create an object that will help you channel the looks of a ’70s-era socialite. Crafted in Italy, the shades don’t feel too heavy on the face, according to Nordstrom reviewers, and will help block 100 percent of the UV rays you encounter in any season.

Ugg Discoquette Slide Slipper
$74.99 $109.95 32% off
Our editors are self-proclaimed Ugg obsessives, so we highly urge you to snag this top seller from the brand before most sizes inevitably sell out. The Discoquette has the same soft suede exterior and plush, wool-blend interior you’ve come to know and love, with a slip-on style that will make putting it on before running errands an absolute breeze. That 1.5-inch platform also gives a much-needed height boost to the vertically challenged among us (guilty as charged), and you’ll soon find yourself wearing this Ugg find around the clock — inside and outdoors.

Nordstrom Cashmere Crewneck Sweater
$89.90 $149 40% off
Yes, Nordstrom makes its own 100-percent cashmere sweaters, and yes, they’re totally worth your hard-earned money (especially with a sale this good). Details like a crew neckline and a form-fitting yet never-constricting fit here make this selection something that can work marvelously in the context of many outfits — whether you layer it under a trench or pair it up with chunky gold jewelry and a festive maxi skirt.

Nordstrom Classic Cotton Pajamas
$42.50 $85 50% off
Pajamas are a quintessential gift year-round, and, should you need to make a post-Christmas purchase for the woman in your life who loves to keep things cozy, Nordstrom’s own Classic Cotton Pajamas are ripe for the picking. What’s to love? Their breathable cotton composition, luxe contrasting trim, prim-and-proper notched collar, handy pockets, and, of course, that half-off markdown.

Astr the Label Pleated Drop Waist Dress
$76.80 $128 40% off
In need of a party dress? Here’s Astr the Label’s take on this closet staple, which shines thanks to its pleated skirt, drop-waist silhouette, and en vogue Eggplant shade that feels elevated without overdoing it. The best part is that the style is made out of satin, meaning you’ll be craving the sensation it leaves on your skin long after you dance the night away and turn every head in the room.

Open Edit The Curator Relaxed Blazer
$59.60 $169 65% off
Suddenly feel a chill in the air as you wear said party dress? Match it to a blazer that can easily transition to something corporate-approved. The Curator Relaxed Blazer from Open Edit is intentionally oversized and sharp-shouldered, meaning it will infuse even the most casual of getups with much-needed structure. Sling a shoulder bag over the number and take it to new heights with glossy pumps. After that, everyone will know you mean business.

Alice + Olivia Antonette Long Sleeve Button-Up Minidress
$321.75 $495 35% off
And if it’s something maximalist you’re looking for, Alice + Olivia’s Antonette is calling your name. The balloon sleeve–equipped minidress features a vibrant floral print, which will speak volumes when donned in conjunction with more subdued accessories. As for that removable tie belt, it’s here to help you look snatched to the max, while the dress’ V-neck provides a carte blanche for all manner of necklaces.

Adore Me Bessima Babydoll & G-String Set
$48.97 $69.95 30% off
Lingerie is one of the best gifts you can give yourself, for your birthday, Christmas, or just because. Adore Me is a popular brand in this category, and its Bessima Babydoll & G-String Set flaunts a big bow at center that you can “unwrap” — revealing the real present (again, it’s been you all along!). The lingerie top’s straps are fully adjustable, and it comes with matching g-string panties that will be an object of admiration: yours and theirs.

Hoka Solimar Running Shoe
$99.99 $125 20% off
Hoka is one of the leading running shoe brands of today’s day, and finding a bestseller from the brand for less than $100 is a modern-day rarity. The Solimar model is streamlined, has comfort-forward cushioning, is reinforced with extra rubber in high-wear areas, and comes loaded with Hoka’s Meta-Rocker technology — the latter ensuring smooth rides on any surface. Conquering a marathon is a common New Year’s resolution, and buying this shoe will be the first step to going the distance.

Sam Edelman Faux Fur Jacket
$129.99 $200 35% off
The “mob wife” aesthetic is back and better than ever, spearheaded by the kinds of more-is-more fur coats that don’t harm a single animal in their making. But “faux” is not synonymous with “disappointing,” as this Sam Edelman favorite will have you know. It’s glamorous, thick, has larger-than-life drape lapels, and will make you resemble an Old Hollywood starlet from hereon out. Now, the jacket’s also over 30 percent off. Flaws? It’s got none that we know of.

Vince Sutter Bootie
$237 $395 40% off
Every fashion insider needs to own at least one dependable pair of suede boots for winter. And in case your shoe rack is lacking such footwear, Vince’s highly rated Sutter Bootie is here to save the day. We adore its squared-off toe, stability-granting block heel, and Cacao Brown hue that aces Pantone’s Color of the Year choice for 2025. The boot is ready to mesh with your baggy jeans, maxi dresses, and everything in between — so long as you let it in your life this season (and do so promptly, as many sizes have already sold out).

Coach Sammy Bracelet Watch
$138.75 $185 25% off
Finally, an accessory every girl needs: a bracelet watch, given that this wrist adornment has been making waves on TikTok for some time now. Coach’s Sammy — a top choice in this department — is elegant but never old-fashioned. In fact, it’s modern at heart, courtesy of that slender, textural bracelet, oval dial, and minimalist silver composition. Stack it with all your jewelry box‘s tennis bracelets and thank us later.
