Whether you’re a seasoned sale enthusiast or just looking to level up your wardrobe on a budget, I’ll give you all the scoop you need on how to conquer this event like a pro.
Let’s dive into the history, the bargains, and, most importantly, the strategies to make sure you snag the best deals.
THE HISTORY OF THE HALF-YEARLY HYPE
The Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale didn’t just pop up overnight. It’s been a well-loved tradition for decades, dating back to the early days of Nordstrom’s expansion beyond its Seattle roots. Originally conceived as a way to clear out seasonal inventory and bring in fresh styles, the Half-Yearly Sale quickly became a key event on every fashion-forward shopper’s calendar.
Held twice a year – once in winter and once in summer – this sale is your golden ticket to score some high-quality, on-trend pieces without breaking the bank.
Typically, the winter sale kicks off just after Christmas, around December 26th, when everyone’s recovering from holiday madness and looking to start the new year with a fresh look. The summer version, on the other hand, usually drops around Memorial Day, bringing a tidal wave of deals right when you’re itching to revamp your warm-weather wardrobe.
