One of my favorite parts of shopping is comparing notes with friends. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been the type to do way too much research, so I love talking about what we’re into, especially with the friends who are as picky as I am.
Since the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale started, I’ve genuinely scrolled through every single page of the markdowns (multiple times). A few people have already asked me what the best clothing discounts are, so I decided to narrow down my top choices. In the process, one thing became clear: The pieces I keep gravitating toward are the classics—aka essentials you can wear on repeat from brands like Stuart Weitzman, Frye, Levi’s, and more. I love finding timeless staples that will always be in style regardless of trends.
Before it ends on August 3, here are the items that have stood out to me the most.
