As someone who lives in skirts and dresses year-round, I always gravitate toward them first when I'm shopping. Don't get me wrong. I'm not opposed to the perfect pair of Levi's or a cute pair of capris, but truthfully? My closet is filled with more maxis, midis, and minis than any other type of clothing. When the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale—the retailer's biggest fashion event of the year—comes each year, skirts and dresses are the first thing I look for.
Right now, early access is open exclusively to Nordstrom cardmembers. Access is tiered by your annual spend: Icons shop July 8–11, Ambassadors July 9–11, and Influencers July 10–11. If you're not a cardholder, the sale opens to everyone on July 12.
With that in mind, I scrolled through pages of product listings to find the skirts and dresses actually worth seeing—from pleated to plaid.
I love a knee-length pleated skirt.
So chic.
I think we'll continue to see the comeback of plaid into fall and winter.
As well as pencil skirts.
In my opinion, you can never go wrong with a long black dress.
This would be cute with tights and flats in a few months.
Open Edit is Nordstrom's in-house brand, which has so many wardrobe staples.
I love an A-line skirt.
This summer, I keep reaching for my full-length skirts.
I clearly have cooler weather on my mind.
