Get Ready—the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2023 Is Headed Your Way & We Have *All* the Details

It's about that time, folks. When it starts to feel like summer and nothing can bring you down because you have too many events to look forward to. The biggest of them all? The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2023. For us, it marks the real upswing of hot girl summer, especially since it calls for a full-on shopping spree of designer must-haves on sale for up to 70 percent off, from fashion to beauty.

BTW, this is all going down starting on July 11 for Nordstrom card members and will run all the way through August 6. Not a member? You'll have to wait in line, or you can sign up now to guarantee early access to this tiered sale. And trust, you'll want to get on it because last year's deals included the coveted Sunday Riley Good Genes serum for as low as $41 and the internet-famous Spanx faux leather leggings for as low as $65, and make no mistake, this year's sale will also be one for the books.

If this is your first time shopping the retailer's biggest sale of the year, no need to stress. We're bringing you all the details, from the best deals to keep your eye on, to when, where and how you can save big when the time comes. Here's everything you need to know.

• Best Bra: True & Co True Body Triangle Bra ($58; $41)
• Best Beauty Pick: Dior Lip Glow Oil ($40; $34)
• Best Sandals: Tory Burch Eleanor Sandals ($298; $209)

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is none other than the retailer's biggest fashion event of the year. During the event (which only happens once a year), shoppers can save a lot of moolah on new arrivals and essentials. We're talking up to 70 percent off Birkenstock sandals, Good American jeans and Dyson tools. (Feel free to check out Nordstrom's hub for even more specifics, but we've outlined everything for you below.)

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale officially kicks off on July 11, but only to Icon members (remember, it's a tiered sale). The most important date to keep in mind is July 17, when the sale opens to everyone (member or not), and it runs through August 6. If you want to shop before then, there are still several opportunities to gain early access.

Icon members (aka those who have spent $15,000 or more at Nordstrom using their Nordstrom card) are the first to gain access on July 11. Next in line are Ambassador members (those who have spent $5,000 or more) on July 12, followed by Influencers on July 13 (having spent $500 or more). Everyone can shop from July 17 through August 6, but here are all the 2023 shopping dates to refer to:

• Icons: July 11 through July 16
• Ambassadors: July 12 through July 16
• Influencers: July 13 through July 16
• Everyone: July 17 through August 6

Signing up for The Nordy Club is pretty straightforward on the site, and once you're in, you'll automatically gain Influencer status, which means you can start shopping on July 13. To note, you can become a Nordy Club member two ways: by snagging yourself a Nordstrom credit card or by simply signing up for a free membership. The difference is cardmembers have access to even more perks, like the ability to earn points per dollar on purchases outside of Nordstrom to achieve an even higher status at the retailer and free two-day shipping on orders.

It's up to you which route to take (card or no card), but regardless, you can get Influencer status today, guaranteeing your chance to shop early.

Based on past wins, like the dainty Natori bra and cozy Moonlight Eco pajamas for under $50, we have an idea of what to look forward to this go-round. And while this year's deals haven't been released just yet, we will update this page as we spot more and more markdowns on must-have items. For PureWow readers, that's anything from Levi's and Tory Burch, but we'll also put you on to new brands like Farm Rio and Vitamin A while they're on major sale as soon as we get the chance.

No, Nordstrom Rack (Nordstrom's outlet store) does not participate in the anniversary sale, but that won't be a problem since you'll be too busy scoring deals left and right to care. However, if you want to return something you bought from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, feel free to do so at any Nordstrom Rack store.

Now that we've gotten all the details out the way, you should feel more than prepared to shop like a pro in the next few weeks. In the meantime, you can scroll through the ten best products on sale at Nordstrom right now. Because why wait? It'll only boost your membership status so you can shop before everyone else when the time comes.
