The Memorial Day sales rush came and went, but we’re here to tell you that the pre-summer shopping spree doesn’t have to end there. In case you couldn’t snag your dream pair of steppers for that upcoming Euro trip before the holiday deals concluded or else are still eyeing a particular brand’s color-happy dress assortment for your best friend’s destination wedding in a few weeks, Nordstrom is coming in hot with its very own markdown fest — the Half Yearly Sale, running through June 1.

explore nordstrom’s half yearly sale
According to brand copy, this much-anticipated annual happening (which is always marked by Nordstrom’s steepest price slashes of the year) is replete with “the latest styles across Women’s, Men’s, Kids’, Shoes, Home, and Accessories from brands like Free People, AllSaints, Frame, Open Edit, Eileen Fisher, Sam Edelman, Ugg, Boss, Madewell, and Steve Madden.”
Also on offer: Designer finds for half off if you’re lucky, from coveted, insider-approved labels the likes of Valentino, Hermès (we see you, pre-loved Birkin bags), Balenciaga, and Jacquemus.
Angelic, feminine, and butterfly-adorned Aquazzura sandals for 40 percent off their original price? Coming right up. Free People gingham tunics that bring cottagecore back, at under $100? You got it. This summer is all about navigating the tension between the high and the low, after all — Isabel Marant x Havaianas and Ganni x Melissa are prime exemplars of how to do it right — and you’re bound to discover both the ultra-luxury and the laid-back amidst Nordstrom’s bursting-at-the-seams sale section this May.
We’ll also let you in on a little secret: Anyone can shop the Half Yearly Sale, but Nordy Club members always have the most fun, earning points on every purchase, getting early access to discount festivities like this one, and more. Shipping and returns at Nordstrom are free regardless of membership status.

Below, the 15 best Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale fashion deals for women and men that are really, truly worth your time. WWD’s editors are busy taking out our credit cards… so what are you waiting for?
Hermès Birkin 35 Handbag Brown Fjord With Gold Hardware
$13,791 $16,225 15% off
Skip the pre-spend requirements at a brick and mortar Hermès location and get your very own, status-symbol Birkin for 15 percent off at nordstrom.com. In the world of these Jane Birkin–inspired carryalls, the discount is actually a really big deal, and this particular bag’s quiet-luxury, timeless brown hue makes it especially worth your investment.
Because the accessory had a previous owner, it’s been repainted and touched up to live up to your high standards. We don’t know what we love more — that grainy, sumptuously crafted leather or the Birkin’s shiny, instantly recognizable padlock.

Zimmermann Rebellion Draped Fit & Flare Midi Dress
$1,365 $1,950 30% off
When it comes to attractive, bohemian, holiday-ready dress styles, Zimmermann is the name on every It-girl’s lips (and shopping history). If you’re on the hunt for wedding guest attire or something to wear to your work’s next fundraiser, let Zimmermann’s Rebellion silhouette work some magic in your life: what with its ankle-baring midi hem, romantic and flowy linen-silk organza composition, vintage-coded sweetheart neckline, and more-is-more flared skirt. This + your best gold jewelry + a pair of comfortable metallic heels = head-turning looks all evening long.

Frame Le Sleek High Waist Ankle Straight-Leg Jeans
$180.60 $258 30% off
Tastemakers from Bella Hadid to Alix Earle have been spotted in Frame’s trend-aligned denim, and if you’re similarly looking to ace the balance between “model off duty” and “sophisticate in Paris,” there’s no better way to do so than with these Le Sleek straight-leg jeans. Lightweight enough to serve you well even during the summer months, the bottoms benefit from soft stretch; a high rise ideal for crop tops; and a fit that doesn’t leave a dreaded gap at the waist, per reviewers.

Free People Favorite Find Bloomer Pajama Shorts
$24.99 $40 38% off
One trend of summer 2026 we can totally get behind? Ballooning bloomer shorts that look as if they’ve teleported from the Victorian era. Free People’s take on the exaggerated shape arrives in the form of these bedroom must-haves that can also be donned outside of it.
The Favorite Find style has a coquettishly pink colorway, high-texture ruching, and a sewn-on stamp patch for pushing the playfulness further. That cotton blend, too, will keep you feeling breezy in 80-plus-degree temperatures. Wear with just a white bralette or a peasant top, fully tapping into the historical allusions.

Hoka Clifton 10 Running Shoe
$124 $155 20% off
Rare: a Hoka sale at Nordstrom. Rarer still: a limited-time deal on a Hoka sneaker released only last year, to much fanfare and instant virality. This top women’s running (and walking) shoe has a lot going for it, primarily a Meta-Rocker construction for effortless transitions; the kind of grippy outsole that puts special care into protecting high-wear areas; optimized, rearfoot-focused stability; and an EVA foam midsole that excels at cushioning the foot without ever weighing you down.
You’ll be supported from heel strike to toe-off with the Clifton 10, whose pictured off-white shade can complement your summery frocks as well as athleisure. Need to give your foot’s unique contours even more dedicated attention? Swapping this kick’s insole for a custom orthotic takes mere seconds.

Jacquemus La Petite Pochette Rond Carré Canvas Clutch
$875 $1,250 30% off
Ask 10 fashion insiders what their favorite maison is, and there’s a good chance the majority will answer “Jacquemus.” The fresh, unmistakably French, Simon Porte Jacquemus–helmed style destination has unveiled its Rond Carré clutch for all the ladies who carry just the absolute essentials when going out.
With a roll-top shape that takes a page from takeout bags and hardware touches on either side shaped like a strawberry and a die (what could be cuter?), the canvas-based and cotton-lined beaut will be the last thing you grab before you run out the door this season — sure to amplify outfits ranging from the casual to the frou-frou.

Aquazzura Papillon Ankle Strap Sandal
$816 $1,360 40% off
Luxury Italian footwear maker Aquazzura blends the comfortable with the eye-catching in each one of its designs, and the Papillon sandal is no exception. We have one sentence for you: This heel was made for dancing, baby! And dance in it you will, given wearability-maximizing specs like an adjustable strap, a sweat- and blister-proof leather lining, and a slip-averse sole found here. A four-inch heel, meanwhile, will grant you the height boost you’ve always craved. And those high-shine butterfly embellishments? We can’t look away (and they won’t be able to, either).

Lands’ End Short Sleeve Lightweight Polo
$63.96 $79.95 20% off
If you’re already filling your cart to the brim, you might as well think about your male partner and what he might be missing from his warm-weather wardrobe rotation. That’s where this Lands’ End men’s polo comes in, equipped with preppy-cool energy, a shape-maintaining ribbed trim, and a body-skimming fit that he can enjoy tucked or untucked. It’s soft, it’s sexy, and it’s perfect for turning your boyfriend into a menswear influencer. Urge him to keep those two buttons at the top undone for maximum visual impact.

Nordstrom Beaded Necklace
$35 $50 30% off
You don’t need us to remind you that beaded necklaces have officially returned to liven up summer dressing this year. In 2026, they’re taking a no-holds-barred approach to size and style alike, embracing color-blocking and chunkiness in an effort to become their wearers’ most treasured personality piece.
Want to hop on this childlike, fun-loving, and easy-going bandwagon? Of course you do, and Nordstrom’s own acrylic, beaded strand can help. Interspersing small, round beads with oblong ones in a wide array of shades, it’s guaranteed to echo your vibrant dresses, silk scarves, tropical-printed maxi skirts, and everything in between.
Price upon publish date of this article: $35
Saint Laurent Small Round Sunglasses
$289.99 $520 44% off
Your man deserves chic eye protection, too, and these sunnies from none other than Saint Laurent (for none other than over 40 percent off) will allow him to be the most dapper individual in every room. Made from recycled acetate and featuring retro, brown-swathed frames, the babies might get him mistaken for JFK Jr. — bonus points if he takes them on a boat alongside a button-up and linen shorts.
