Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale. Those who've been shopping the annual sale since middle school will already be well acquainted with the cult-loved shopping event. For the uninitiated, Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale differs from nearly all other sales because it includes deals on new fall styles before the season even starts, in addition to classic best sellers.
Anniversary Sale 2022 is finally open to the public as of July 15, running through July 31 (with prices going back to normal on August 1). BAZAAR.com shared an exclusive first look at some of this year’s women’s deals last month, but having since been able to go through this year’s curation in its entirety, we can confirm this year’s Anniversary Sale might be the most exciting to date.
From a fresh crop of elevated basics to special pieces that encapsulate some of FW22’s boldest trends, we’ve rounded up our favorite items ahead. Word to the wise: Products tend to fly out of stock during Anniversary Sale faster than one can crowdsource their family groupchat for a Nordy card number. We recommend saving this link somewhere you'll remember because we'll update this article throughout the entire sale with our favorite still-in-stock picks.

Natori's Feathers Underwire Contour bra boasts a small cult following among Nordstrom shoppers (think 3.4k ratings and counting).

Also: The mesh and lace detailing simply feels and looks sexy.
