25 items up to 60% off in Nordstrom’s After Christmas Designer Sale

You can find great fashion deals at Nordstrom year-round, but the post-Christmas period has a huge concentration of discounted designer items. Think about it. Up to 60% off clothing, shoes and accessories from Ulla Johnson, Veronica Beard, Frame, Paige and AllSaints. You probably never expected these brands to be available at such huge discounts, but unfortunately, the time has finally come.

Here are 25 of my favorites that are currently heavily discounted at Nordstrom. I believe these are the best.

Nordstrom’s best deals after Christmas overall

Currently, Nordstrom has over 10,000 fashion and beauty sales that we mined for designer scores. My top five includes practical luxuries. Examples include Ulla Johnson’s printed dress, Johnston’s of Elgin’s cashmere-blend scarf, and Veronica Beard’s sleek Chelsea boots. You can’t go wrong with DL1961’s cuffed boyfriend jeans, which you’ll wear repeatedly from spring to fall, or Sporty & Rich’s cute crew neck sweatshirt for lounging around. These discounts start at 40 percent and go up to 60 percent.

Ulla Johnson Livia Floral Side Ruched Maxi Dress

best dress sale

In addition to Ulla Johnson, you can also shop for 25-60% off on stylish printed dresses from Farm Rio and Arica + Olivia. I like the slightly more subdued feel of the lease. But if you’re after quiet luxury and want to keep your bottom line low, don’t sleep on a simple LBD from Cos.

Farm Rio mixed-print long-sleeve cotton-blend dress

If you’re thinking of heading somewhere warm for spring break, start shopping for your looks now. Let’s start with this tropical print Farm Rio dress. You can wear it with neutral flats during the day and color-coordinated espadrilles at night.

Alice + Olivia Clyde Sleeveless A-Line Mini Dress

Step outside the box of versatile cocktail dresses with this statement piece by Alice + Olivia. To avoid clashing outfits, keep your accessories simple and pair them with light socks until the weather warms up.

Reiss Ciara Abstract Print Long Sleeve Shirt Dress

Shirt dresses are always in fashion, and they’re truly effortlessly chic. But what I especially love is the subtle 70’s charm of this dress. Complete your look with hoop earrings and strappy sandals.

best cashmere deals

I’m a big fan of cashmere, so of course I was thrilled with this sale. Nordstrom offers designer quality cashmere sweaters for just $80 each. So it’s a good idea to stock up on a variety of crewnecks and V-necks in your favorite colors to layer over your T-shirts for the rest of the winter. (And if you live on the West Coast like I do, you know these can come in handy on cool summer nights, too.) Vince and Alex Mill cardigans are also a must-have for me.

Nordstrom Crewneck Cashmere Sweater

Crewneck cashmere sweaters are a staple of my seasonal and winter wardrobe. I wear them almost all year round and would recommend them to anyone, especially at this quality and price range. It’s insulating yet breathable, so it performs comfortably in both hot and cold conditions. I’m the latter, so it’s a great top layer to wear under a tank or t-shirt in the winter.

Johnstons of Elgin Textured Ombre Scarf

I love fancy winter accessories, but in a pinch I don’t (or recommend) splurging. Luckily, there’s plenty on sale right now, including cashmere, wool, alpaca and silk scarves from Johnstons of Elgin. The holy grail is 55% off cashmere blend scarves.

vince boiled cashmere cardigan

If crewneck sweaters are my foundation, cardigans make up my entire sweater collection and add dimension to my looks (while the aforementioned scarf is a must-have finishing touch this time of year) . The price of this Vince cardigan is certainly higher than the other options on my list, but that’s probably because it’s made from boiled cashmere, which has been treated to make it softer and more insulating.

Gene’s best sale

There’s a wide range of jeans to choose from, from wide leg and flare to tapered and skinny. There are plenty of dishes to wash. This is great news for me and anyone looking to refresh their denim department.

Madewell tapered denim pants

I had so much fun looking at the silhouette, so I was thrilled to find this subtle barrel leg option from Madewell. Perfect for those who want to dip their toe into the trend rather than jumping to something more dramatic (which is more widely available).

DL1961 Thea Relaxed Tapered Boyfriend Ankle Jeans

Return to your warm-weather vacation lineup and buy these to pack along with flip-flops and a strappy tank top for wandering around resorts or exploring quaint towns. It is active from spring to autumn.

Favorite Daughter Olympic Flare Jeans

These office-ready Favorite Daughter jeans are 50% off and still available in all sizes. I’m trying to make the aforementioned t-shirt and sweater combo, along with boots for the rest of winter, part of my new uniform.

Bargain information on lounge wear

Cute and comfortable loungewear can be hard to come by at a discount. So I was very excited to find these great deals. Sporty, rich sweatshirts to wear with sneakers are 50 percent off, and Beyond Yoga’s Space Dye bike shorts are 35 percent off. Get a percentage discount when you run errands in your neighborhood.

Sporty & Rich Emblem Crew Neck Cotton Blend Sweatshirt

I’m not going to pay full price for a sweatshirt, but if it’s 50 percent off and under $100, I’m pretty happy to buy it. I love that this neutral is a cotton blend so it doesn’t shrink in the dryer. It’s also made in the USA by an AAPI-owned brand.

Rebecca Taylor Violet Fleur Silk Pajama Pants

As an athleisure alternative, I love pajama pants that double as actual pants (styled appropriately). Considering the versatility and discounted price, I think this is great value.

Petite Plume Swan Sonnet Print Piped Pima Cotton Pajamas

I’ve been wanting to try out a sleepwear set from the popular pajama brand Petit Plume, and this ’60s swan print set is on sale for nearly 30% off, so I thought I might give it a try. No. Pima cotton is definitely very soft.

best sale on boots

These are versatile basic boots, but you don’t have to worry about having any number of them. Even a simple design can have nuances depending on the material, color, and texture. One of my favorite shoe brands to support, Aerosoles, offers up to 40 percent off on their boots. Meanwhile, Nordstrom is offering up to 50 percent off a selection of Tory Burch boots.

Aerosoles Lanita Booties

Aerosoles boots are perfect for commuters. First, they’re not only suitable for the office, but they’re also made with a supportive footbed and low heel, making them perfect for those who walk a little to get to work. For $85, it won’t feel too bad if you end up wearing it out by measuring every step.

All Saints Tri Lug Sole Boots

If you want to get on board with the combat boot trend, check out this pair for 25% off at All Saints. A simple but stylish combination of smooth leather and gold hardware, and the sole is just the right thickness.

Veronica Beard Lada Chelsea Boots

I saved the trade of all trades for last. Veronica Beard’s classic heeled Chelsea boots. The caramel and espresso colors are a whopping 60% off and cost less than $100. The black leather option is also on sale for 50% off, which isn’t a bad deal either.
