The Basics to Stock Up On

Of course some of the biggest things people do in the NAS each year is stock up on basics or refresh the things they buy every year… take a look through these reader favorites for stocking up:

• Lingerie from Natori, Hanky Panky, Commando, Wacoal, Simone Perele, True & Co, Elomi, Evelyn & Bobbi (personally I love this brand!)
• Athletic/loungewear from Zella, Beyond Yoga, Vuori, Spanx, Adidas, Marine Layer, Varley, Barefoot Dreams, UGG, Veja, Free People, as well as skiwear from Kari Traa

• Great beauty deals from NARS, Dyson, Clinique, Lancome, Chantecaille, La Mer, Jo Malone, Alterna — also several electronic face masks!
• Classic, comfortable shoes from Margaux, Stuart Weitzman, Aquatalia, Paul Green, and Tory Burch — as well as trendier shoes from Sam Edelman, Blondo, and Marc Fisher LTD
• Quality winter coats from Fleurette, Lauren Ralph Lauren, Sam Edelman, and Vince and luggage from TUMI and TravelPro

• Affordable workwear from COS, Nordstrom, Halogen, Vince Camuto, CeCe, Maggy London, Eliza J, and more
• Selling out or gone: lots of Santorelli, Seasalt Cornwall, St. John… and I didn’t realize until the end of the day that some of the beauty exclusives were only during the preview for cardholders, including the bigger Dyson deals.

The Best Blazers, Lady Jackets, and Sweater Blazers in the 2026 NAS

The Best Sweaters in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

The Best Blouses & Tops for Work

There are lovely silk blouses from Lafayette 148 New York, L’Agence, and others, as well as the usual selection from CeCe. The COS blouses are also worth looking through.

The Best Work Dresses in the 2026 Anniversary Sale

I wish there weren’t so many mini and maxi skirts! If you like minimal, modern cuts definitely check out the COS offerings in the sale.

The Best Coats in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

No, you’re probably not walking around your office in your coat — but which coat you wear into the office is part of your style! Hands down the best coat options are from Lauren Ralph Lauren and Sam Edelman, although there are a lot of nice options from Vince as well.

I’m picking my head up from my exhaustive review of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (stay tuned, hopefully today) to check out the Last Call sale at Neiman Marcus. There are a lot of nice brands in the sale — Staud, Veronica Beard, Nili Lotan, Stuart Weitzman, Akris — and I’m liking this stripey tote from Veronica Beard.

(There are actually a ton of her Dash bags in the sale!)

The sale is a bit odd — some items are eligible for a gift card (spend $200, get a $50 gift card) while others are an additional 25% off but then final sale. Everything is well marked on the product pages, though.

The pictured bag was $598, but is now marked to $419.

When it comes to getting dressed on the hottest days of summer, a dress has to pass the fabric test before I’ll even consider it. Some days I’m reaching for a look that is a little more polished, one that needs to keep its shape and feel sharp even when the sun is doing the most.

I always look for a few fail-proof dresses to have on hand for this time of year in a mix of cotton poplin, linen, or breathable jersey. Those fabrics stay light on the body while holding their shape and clean lines, while eyelet or delicate embroidery adds texture without extra weight. You get the ease of hardly feeling like you are wearing anything, but the silhouette carries that polished feeling across the finish line, so that getting dressed in the peak of summer feels like a breeze.

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

This sweet cardigan from Torrid looks so fresh and summery that I’d be tempted to take it out for a picnic lunch instead of a trip to the office. I love a short-sleeved cardigan for folks who run warm but still need to cover up a sleeveless blouse or dress. This cotton pointelle knit will feel breezy and cool, even when the temperature is creeping up.

Wear this with a light blouse and swingy skirt for maximum coolness and comfort. 

The sweater is $69.90 at Torrid and comes in sizes equivalent to 10-30. It also comes in “whisper white.”

There is something so satisfying about a matching set, that feeling of being put together head to toe with almost zero thinking required. Swimwear makes an especially good case for it. I love when a suit has a second act, a sarong, a pair of pants, or a linen dress cut from the same print, so the move from pool to lunch barely counts as an outfit change. The last thing I want to think through is an elaborate look when the whole point of the day is relaxing by the water.

That is what a set like this solves. It adds polish and intention to beach dressing, building a look full of color and personality that still makes sense for a swim but can carry you through the rest of the day.

For busy working women, the suit is often the easiest outfit to throw on in the morning. In general, this feature is not about interview suits for women, which should be as classic and basic as you get — instead, this feature is about the slightly different suit that is fashionable, yet professional. Also: we just updated our big roundup for the best women’s suits of 2026!

I’m surprised to see some suits already down to lucky sizes in the Nordstrom sale! This basic blue suit is one of the more affordable options (with all sizes left, 00-16) and I can see it being the perfect suit for on campus interviews, to keep at your office as your “emergency suit,” or beyond.

The suiting pieces are $86-$119, but they’ll be $129-$179 after the sale, with lots of matching pieces.

Some of our favorite suits from the 2026 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale include these — they all come in black as well as the color featured. I also love this St. John; these Santorelli ones are gorgeous but may be limited to lucky sizes. See all our NAS roundups here!
