ICYMI: Nordstrom’s Half Yearly Sale (spring 2024 edition) is here to help you elevate your summer wardrobe without blowing your vacation fund. Nordstrom’s Half Yearly Sale is always filled to the brim with incredible scores in apparel, home decor, and beauty, but this time around, it’s the designer clearance that really shines.

The designer clearance section of the sale is chock full of designer pieces from labels that rarely ever get marked down—and they’re all a whopping 40 percent off. After perusing all 50 pages of the designer clearance sale (yes, my head hurts), I spotted a slew of my favorite names in fashion, including Maison Margiela, Balenciaga, Simone Rocha, Chloé, Cecilie Bahnsen, Jimmy Choo, Molly Goddard, Jacquemus, JW Anderson, and Balmain.

Nordstrom only offers a few sitewide sales each year, and the biannual half-yearly sale is one of the biggest and best opportunities to refresh your closet pre-summer. For a limited time, you score thousands of stellar markdowns up to 50 percent off (including the designer markdowns, but all categories are included). This isn’t just an end-of-season liquidation clearance to get rid of stock that simply didn’t sell in the winter and spring.

If past years are any indication of what’s to come for this year’s half-yearly sale, covetable deals will sell out quickly, so we suggest acting fast on all of the items accumulating in your cart. To save you time, I scoured the virtual aisles of the designer clearance offerings to find some of the best pieces to scoop up while they’re 40 percent off. Scroll through below to check out everything I would buy from the designer clearance section.
