20 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Clothing Deals Cosmo Editors Are Shopping This Year

What's the one jacket I think *every* reader should own? An oversized denim jacket like this one from AG Jeans. Denim jackets can be worn almost anytime, anywhere, with anything, so it's worth splurging on one that'll last through the years.

"I've had my eye on these knee-high boots for YEARS, so now that they're on sale, I immediately added them to my cart. They come in a wide calf, so I don't have to worry about yanking them up my legs. And the teeny tiny heel is small enough to wear 'em everywhere," says Beth Gillette, beauty editor.

"I'm absolutely *obsessed* with these rectangular Ray-Ban sunnies for all my summer fits (and fall... and winter... and spring). They're $50 off?! Say no more," says Jasmine Hyman, assistant shopping editor.

Is she a splurge? Yes, absolutely. But also, is she over $700 off during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale? Indeed. "I’m officially in my 'nice jewelry only' era, and a Michele watch is about as timeless as it gets," says Mackenzie Dunn, senior commerce manager. "I like this one for the two-tone design that allows me to mix metals and the gorgeous textured watch face. The diamond numbers don’t hurt, either." Adding to cart!

"I love a jumpsuit that I can dress up or down, which is exactly why this Zella pick is bound to be a staple in my closet," says Nashia Baker, commerce editor. "It's versatile enough to wear for a workout or a night out, thanks to its stretchy fit-and-flare silhouette and flattering square neckline. Oh, and the moisture-wicking material is great to help me beat the sweaty summer heat."

"Nordstrom's in-house label BP. need not be slept on, especially if you're looking for gender-neutral styles," says Heath Owens, senior commerce editor. "These carpenter pants have a not-too-low-not-too-high waistline that's flattering but still has a super relaxed fit. I love this cream shade for summer, but they've also got burnt orange and olive green options you could wear all year."

"Talk about pants that move with your body! I could easily live in these," one five-star Nordstrom reviewer writes of these workout leggings from Beyond Yoga. "The crisscross front looks super cute. A worthy investment that isn’t just fun and comfortable, but also functional!"

"Call me basic, but I swear by my Longchamp tote for work. It holds a shocking amount of things, including my laptop and a change of shoes, so I also use it as an overnight bag for travel. I've had mine for over six years, and it still looks as good as new," says Lauren Gruber, associate editor.

"As a forever fan of statement earrings, these BaubleBar sparkly hoop earrings were a must-have for my shopping cart. The acrylic pearls are a major standout in my eyes," says Nashia Baker, commerce editor. "For just $30, this gorge accessory is a definite steal!"

The two words I love the hear most during Anniversary Sale time: Nordstrom exclusive. This cute little Coach handbag can't be found anywhere else, and it's under $200 during the retailer's annual sale. The black and brown colorways are already sold out, so this white one is guaranteed to go fast.

Analyzing trends is a huge part of my job, and I can say with confidence that Swifties are obsessed with New Balance 550 sneakers. They became a hot ticket item the second the internet saw Taylor Swift wearing them to a Chiefs game, and have been an Eras Tour outfit staple ever since. Needless to say, all three colorways included in the Nordstrom Anniversary sale will sell out FAST.

"It's a rare day to find On sneakers on sale. The Cloudmonster is the brand's most cushioned shoe with that lofty, supportive sole everyone's after (if you like Hokas, you'll love these). It also has springy energy return, so you don't have to worry about the padding weighing you down," says Heath Owens, senior commerce editor (and repeat marathon runner, might I add).

As a huge Nordstrom Anniversary sale fan, I've come to learn that certain brands always sell out, and Dagne Dover is one of them. This water-resistant crossbody is practical enough for new moms and international vacations yet stylish enough for the fashion girlies to grab for a casual everyday 'fit.

"I'm a sucker for a good blazer. It's such a versatile piece of outerwear for the office, casual drinks, and dinners—and while I can barely remember what a fall evening feels like during this East Coast heat wave, I know I'll want this Open Edit number in my closet before I head out the door come October," says Ellen McAlpine, commerce editor. Oh yeah, and it's only $50.

You know how the old saying goes: accessories make the outfit. This timeless tennis bracelet taps into the current tennis-core and quiet luxury trends, and it looks super cute stacked with other bracelets. Is it just me, or does it look waaay more expensive than it actually is?

As a trend forecaster, it's my duty to tell my friend group what to buy, and lately, I've been suggesting denim dresses left and right. Styles like this French Connection dress tap into the Cowboy Carter craze without feeling costume-y, and they have a timeless Americana quality that'll long outlast the current Western trend. Wear it with sandals and a handkerchief headscarf now, and with knee-high boots and a layering turtleneck this fall.

This off-the-shoulder top from Free People is, as one reviewer puts it, "a cuter, sexier version of a basic black henley. Still work appropriate, but cute enough for going out." And can we talk about the fact that there are thumb holes?! Mentally planning all my winter outfits around this top.

“One thing about me? My feet always blister, so it’s rare that you’ll catch me strutting around in a pair of heels voluntarily (especially living in NYC). These pointy-toe kitten heels are the exception," says Daisy Maldonado, associate shopping editor. "I could walk for miles in these without ever feeling sore. No more keeping a pair of flats in my work bag for my commute home!”

Sure, this two-piece pajama set is for "sleeping," but styled correctly, it's cute enough to leave the house. The best part is that the boxer shorts and button-up can be styled separately for added versatility. Consider it the ultimate gift for the lazy girl in your life.

I will not shut up about bike shorts with side pockets. As someone who A) hates running with a floppy fanny pack and B) refuses to get a tan line from a phone armband, there's no other option for summer workouts. But it's not just the phone-sized pocket of these Zella bike shorts I'm obsessed with; it's the supportive fabric and high-rise fit, too.
