I'm a Nordstrom Stylist—This Is Exactly What to Buy From the Half-Yearly Sale

Yes, I tapped an actual Nordstrom stylist for a list of the exact items she thinks are worth buying from the sale.

Below you'll find the categories Los Angeles–based stylist Kelli Luu (pictured above!) thinks are worth shopping during the Half-Yearly Sale. It's also to note that Nordstrom styling services are free (can book here) if you ever want to explore your personal style more with Nordstrom.

Premium Denim

"Premium denim is a steal during our Half-Yearly Sale. Brands like Frame and Mother offer flattering and comfortable styles that rarely go on sale, so it's the perfect time to grab a pair or two. These jeans are extremely versatile." — Luu

Statement Shoes

"Statement shoes are one of the shoe trends I anticipate will be popular during the Half-Yearly Sale. For example, bold sandals featuring platform soles or playful textures are perfect for adding flair to any outfit and can make the simplest looks stand out." — Luu

Tanks and Bodysuits

"When it comes to shopping during the sale, investing in basics is the key to maximizing value. Neutral bodysuits and tanks are top picks, as they offer versatility and can be effortlessly styled under blazers, paired with jeans or matched with a chic skirt, ensuring a clean and elegant look." — Luu

Sweaters

"Lightweight sweaters are essential basics to consider. They are perfect for transitioning through seasons, whether it's a cool summer evening or a day at the office." — Luu

Handbags

"Keep an eye on handbags—especially functional totes and mini bags. They're great for adding style to your summer wardrobe and are versatile enough for both work and weekends." — Luu

Transitional Footwear

"I also recommend focusing on transitional footwear, particularly ankle boots. These versatile pieces not only complement your current wardrobe but also seamlessly carry you into future seasons, making them a smart investment." — Luu
