50 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Deals Under $50 You Can Still Buy

As a writer who shops for a living, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is practically a holiday for me. So trust me when I say, I’ve got you covered if you’re looking to fill up your cart without breaking the bank. 

I tracked down the 50 best deals under $50 at Nordstrom right now on dresses, shoes, tops, pants, beauty items, and undergarments. Keep scrolling to peruse my picks that include top brands like Spanx, Zella, Kiehl’s, and more. 

Best Under-$50 Deals at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

These discounts at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale are some of the best I’ve ever seen. There are massive markdowns on everyday essentials, outdoor must-haves, and stylish statement pieces. I even found celeb-inspired styles like these low pointed-toe heels, which are similar to ones I’ve seen on Jennifer Garner and Martha Stewart, and these slim, black jeans that remind me of a look Reese Witherspoon wore last summer. 

Outside of clothing, there are also good deals on beauty, including this mini set of woody and fresh fragrances, which are ideal for throwing into your purse or makeup bag. 

Zella Renew Mélange High-Waist Leggings

There’s practically nowhere you can’t wear black leggings these days — to workouts, on errands, and even to cocktails with your friends. This Zella pair makes an excellent addition to your collection due to its high waist, ample amount of stretch, and heathered finish. “They hold you in a flattering way, stay put, and do not push down,” wrote a reviewer.

Best Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Dress Deals Under $50

Nordstrom consistently stocks good dress options for different occasions. So, don’t let the lower price point fool you into thinking the selection will disappoint. A cotton nightgown, similar to one Pamela Anderson gardened in, can be worn out as a lightweight dress or cover-up. A chambray number with bubble sleeves also caught my eye. Plus, outdoorsy shoppers can take advantage of this UPF 50 sundress for a hike and drinks afterwards.

Hope & Henry Tipped Button Sweaterdress

We’ve seen knit dresses on plenty of stylish celebs, including Kelly Clarkson and Reese Witherspoon. Our contribution to the trend is this polished knee-length number, which has a preppy collar, charming gold buttons, and contrast piping around the waist. Finish the look with an embellished clutch and a pair of strappy heels.

Best Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Shoe Deals Under $50

Nordstrom is chock-full of discounts on slip-ons, sandals, and heels. If you’re someone who normally shies away from pumps due to the discomfort, take a look at this cushioned pair. Otherwise, I also spotted this flat sandal that keeps you steady on your feet thanks to the ankle strap. Jelly sandals have been trending as of late, so these flower-covered flip-flops are definitely coming home with me.

Chinese Laundry Audrey Ballet Flat

The cool girls are wearing ballet flats again, a.k.a. Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, and Jennifer Lawrence. I’ve decided I want to join them while this pair is marked down. The ballet flats come with delicate bows and are available in three colors (red, black, and light pink). 

Dirty Laundry Tetra Crochet Strap Sandal

Boho is back, so naturally, crochet has been on the top of my mind. This thought process guided me to this slip-on sandal that ups the ante with its retro-inspired straps. Even better, the footbed has embedded toe molds and arch support for added comfort.

Best Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Top Deals Under $50

I found 10 discounted shirts to wear to a fitness class, the beach, dinner with friends, and work. Some of my favorites are a breathable, sun-protectant hoodie and a closet staple camisole that’s ideal for layering. Plus, collared tops like this one with scalloped sleeves and this lightweight long-sleeve are an easy way to dress up jeans or shorts. 

• Sun Protection: Backcountry Tahoe Sun Hoodie, $47 (orig. $69)
• AllSaints Stevie Cotton T-Shirt, $35 (orig. $55)
• Caslon ​​Chambray Button-Up Shirt, $46 (orig. $70)

• Caslon Long-Sleeve Knit Johnny Collar Top, $33 (orig. $50)

AllSaints Stevie Cotton T-Shirt

If Anne Hathaway is wearing white T-shirts, so am I. Following in her fashionable footsteps, I would wear this similar top with a gray pleated skirt and shiny Mary Jane heels. Better yet, this one is longer than Hathaway’s tummy-bearing version. “The hem hits right at the waist, giving me coverage where I want it but not being too long for higher-waisted pants,” wrote one buyer. 

CeCe V-Neck Button-Up Shirt

I tend to wear the same three pairs of jeans pretty much any time I go out, so having a variety of adorable tops within reach is my solution for differentiating outfits. One that’s made it into my cart is this V-neck blouse with a ruffled collar and sleeves. I imagine this tucked into a pair of high-waisted jeans along with a Mindy Kaling-inspired metallic mule. 

Best Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Pant Deals Under $50

Don’t miss out on this black pair of cigarette pants that are reminiscent of ones Audrey Hepburn once wore. On the other hand, lounging was top of mind when I picked out these flare-leg pants and cropped joggers. Plus, in my opinion, the best time to buy leggings is when they’re on sale, and luckily, I found two pairs from Zella that are under $50. 

• Less Than $40: Florence by Mills Foldover Cotton Blend Pants, $33 (orig. $50)
• Zella Renew Mélange High-Waist Leggings, $35 (orig. $69)
• Caslon Drawstring Terry Pants, $39 (orig. $60)
• KanCan Denver Essentials High-Rise Bootcut Jeans, $43 (orig. $66)
• KanCan Avonlea Essentials Wide-Leg Flare Jeans, $43 (orig. $69)
• Reese Witherspoon-Inspired: Wit & Wisdom Sophie Ab’Solution Ankle Skinny Jeans, $45 (orig. $74)
• Zella Move In Pocket Joggers, $46 (orig. $69)
• Caslon Pull-On Stretch Ponte Cigarette Pants, $46 (orig. $70)
• Zella Live In High-Waist 7/8 Leggings, $40 (orig. $59)
• Zella Ultra Cozy Cropped Joggers, $46 (orig. $69)

KanCan Avonlea Essentials Wide-Leg Flare Jeans

This spring, Kelly Clarkson gave us a tutorial on how to dress up flare jeans. So, it’s no wonder this KanCan version piqued my interest. They’re made of stretchy denim and hit high on the waist, and the medium wash has unique fading across the thighs and pockets. 

Best Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Undergarment Deals Under $50

A comfortable bra that can be worn all day is usually on my wish list. But, I don’t always want to shell out $100 just to buy a decent one. Fortunately, Nordstrom has multiple discounted options to choose from. Top picks include a wireless bra with slender straps and a racerback sports bra. If you’re on the hunt for underwear, check out these high-cut briefs that are designed with a no-pinch waistband.

True & Co. The True Body Triangle Bralette

Why do hundreds of shoppers love this bra? Its wire-free design makes it ideal for all-day wear, and the convertible straps can be configured to accommodate different styles of tops. One shopper shared, “I’m a DDD cup, and this is supportive enough [that] I can go outside and walk my dogs.”

Best Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Beauty Deals Under $50

I found skincare, facial tools, haircare, and perfumes for as low as $26. Contenders include a red light wand that helps to revitalize your skin and a rose quartz and microneedle roller duo, which work together to reduce inflammation and promote collagen production. Also, if you’re like me and struggle with oily roots, Drybar’s dry shampoo, which one shopper says “soaks up the oils in [their] hair instantly,” is $14 off right now. 

Kiehl’s Better Screen UV Serum

Not only does this Kiehl’s product protect you from harmful rays, but it also plumps your skin and evens your skin tone. The dual-purpose product is formulated with SPF 50 and collagen peptides. Apply the serum as the last step in your skincare routine and then every two hours while you’re in the sun.
