It’s here! If you have a Nordstrom credit card, you already know your shopping date, if not, the sale opens up to the public on July 18, 2026.

In person, the NSALE is crazy! I can’t shop like that, so I find online shopping is much more relaxing. Some of the sale inventory is pre-fall, while other items are late summer. Before you start shopping, know what you need in your closet. I recommend pre-fall over late summer since you can wear pre-fall well into the fall season.

The key is to not over-buy from this sale. The fall trends aren’t here yet, so this sale is great for buying basics and classic items which will work for several seasons. Remember the sale rule, if you wouldn’t pay full price, don’t buy it on sale.

My Nordstrom Anniversary Sale picks are very curated this year. Normally I find a large amount of fabulous merchandise to recommend, but this year, I am sticking to more timeless items which will blend into our wardrobes right now and well into the fall season. If you live in a climate such as California, these styles will work throughout winter too.

So, without further ado, here are my picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for 2026:

Fall 2026 color trends from Pantone at NYFW

The color trends from the New York Fashion Week runways are here! We are starting to see more color going down the runways in addition to the neutral hues designers and consumers have been favoring over the past few years. This signals a trend towards re-adding color to our wardrobes. Love that!

The colors from NYFW for the fall/winter 2026/2027 season are offering a mix of traditional autumn hues and spring/summer shades. I love seeing “Neptune” and “All Aboard” mixed in with autumn colors such as “Red Mahogany” and “Burnt Olive.” This gives us leeway next fall to really play with the colors we choose to wear.

The top five neutral colors are also a mix in vivid, classic colors which play well together and also mixed with the vivid top ten hues from the runway. Love it!

You can learn more by visiting Pantone.com. What do you think of the fall/winter 2026/2027 color trends from the New York Fashion Week runways? Do you have a favorite hue?

Thanks for stopping by!
