When it comes to clearance sections, it is often less of a hit than a miss. Even as someone who is essentially a professional shopper, I seldom even browse the section since everything is usually heavily picked over and whatever happens to be left is usually down to one size option (that size never seems to be my own). So when I tell you the level of surprise I had when I recently perused the clearance section at Nordstrom, just believe me, it was through the roof.
I was happily met with an incredibly cool selection of pieces that are perfect no matter the season. Think neutral blazers, pretty dresses, standout sandals, elevated sweaters, stylish denim, and bags to boot. Don't worry—I won't gatekeep my finds. Keep scrolling to shop my top Nordy clearance picks below.
