When it comes to fashion sales with (actually) good deals on (actually cute) clothes, Nordstrom’s annual Anniversary Sale is one of the year’s biggest headliners. Those who’ve been shopping the cult-loved sale since the first coming of UGGs will need no introduction to the sale’s logistics. For the uninitiated, Anniversary Sale differs from regular sales as it includes discounts on new fall styles before the season even begins. This is in addition to deals on bestsellers galore.

ELLE.com got an exclusive first look at this year’s Anniversary Sale womenswear selection a week before the preview went public this year and we’ve been excited ever since. And drum roll, please—we can confirm that this year’s curation might be the most exciting yet with so many elevated classics offered alongside corsets, tailored suiting, and other pieces encapsulating the best fall 2023 fashion trends.

While Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale opened up to the public on July 17th, right now you only have a week left to shop the sale until the event ends on August 6. Note that prices go back to normal on August 7. In other words, consider this your last chance to shop.

Ahead, we’ve shared our favorite womenswear picks ahead and fall trend insights from Rickie de Sole, Nordstrom’s Women’s Designer Fashion & Editorial Director. The product links (and discounts!) below are live, now that the Anniversary Sale has officially kicked off. Word to the wise: Items historically fly out of stock during Anniversary Sale faster than one can even try to crowdsource their family group chat for a Nordstrom card. We recommend saving this article anywhere you’ll remember as we’ll continually update this post with the best in-stock finds. Here, our favorite finds from Anniversary Sale 2023.

The cult-like appeal of Natori’s Feathers Contour bra boils down to its comfort, aesthetic, and practicality. The mesh and lace details add a sexy touch but are undetectable beneath most tops she owns.
