Now for the fun part…our favorites! Here are some of the pieces we’re most excited about this year!
Our Top 3 Sweaters
We always stock up on sweaters during this sale because they’re some of the first things to sell out!
Button Front Cotton Crewneck Cardigan | Madewell
A good cardigan never goes out of style, and this one is SO cute! It would be super cute to throw over your shoulders with a dress in the summer AND look super cute styled with jeans and a jacket in the fall/winter.
Oversize Alpaca Blend Pullover Sweater | Madewell
Nothing says fall like an oversized cozy sweater!! This one looks unbelievably soft, and we love the bright blue! Another that you can start wearing in late summer with denim shorts and take into the fall with you.
Milano Knit Bomber Cardigan | Caslon
This one is a fav! We’ve been loving a classic cardigan this year and the collar makes it feel a bit more polished. This would look great with dark wash denim or even some brown pants and boots this fall.
Our Top 3 Jackets
If you’re going to splurge on one thing during the sale, we’d definitely recommend a jacket. You’ll wear it all season long!
Cotton Denim Jacket | H&M
Everyone needs a great chocolate denim jacket in their closet! This one is such a classic and comes at a super great price during the sale! We love the front pockets and loose fit.
Leather Swing Jacket | Treasure & Bond
We’re obsessed with this one! Burgundy was BIG last year and we can definitely see it having a comeback in 2026. It’s such a fun twist on a classic leather jacket and instantly makes any outfit feel a little cooler.
Catlin Casual Cotton Jacket | Barbour
Barbour jackets are always on our radar during the Anniversary Sale! They’re timeless, so well made, and truly never go out of style. The sale makes it a bit more affordable to buy one you really love.
Our Top 3 Dresses
There are so many good dresses this year, but these three immediately caught our eye!
Stripe Drawcord Waist Shirtdress | En Saison
Such an easy throw-on-and-go dress! Super chic and the fitted waist is so flattering. If you have a bridal or baby shower coming up, this would be perfect!
Print Long Sleeve Drape Back Dress | Open Edit
Zebra print is back in and this dress is CHIC! This is one of those dresses that would be perfect for weddings, date nights, or fall events. We love the print and the draped back detail!
Mixed Paisley Long Sleeve Midi Shirtdress | Julia Jordan
How pretty is this print?! Pair it with tall boots and a cute jacket and you’ve got the easiest fall outfit. We love a silky dress too.
Our Top 3 Tops
These are the kinds of tops that make getting dressed so easy!
Open Floral Cutwork Linen Blend Top | Treasure & Bond
This is one of those tops you’ll wear on repeat! Cutwork tops have been really trendy this year and have been frequent LSW best sellers! We love this long sleeve version – so easy to pair with denim or even silk skirts for fall.
Ruched Mesh Tank | Open Edit
We always love having a fun top to throw on with jeans for dinner or girls’ night, and this one is so cute!
Crochet-Look Polo Shirt | H&M
We’re seeing crochet everywhere right now, and this is such an easy way to wear the trend. We also love that it can easily be dressed up or down. Would look great with dark wash denim and some gold jewelry this fall.
Our Top 3 Jeans
If there’s one category we always recommend shopping during the Anniversary Sale, it’s denim!!
The Perfect Vintage High Waist Wide Leg Jeans | Madewell
Madewell jeans are always worth it, especially when they’re on sale! These are such a great everyday pair that you’ll wear year-round.
Sam High Waist Wide Leg Jeans | Wit & Wisdom
These were one of our favorites last year, and we’re so excited to see them back! They’re flattering, comfortable, and the kind of jeans you’ll end up reaching for all the time. Black denim needs to be added to your wardrobe if it isn’t already!
Flexi Peyton High Waist Bootcut Jeans | rag & bone
If bootcut is more your style, don’t skip these! They’re such a flattering fit and will look so good with boots, loafers, sneakers…pretty much everything!
We hope this helps you narrow down your wishlist because there are SO many good finds this year!!
We’ll be sharing more of our favorite Nordstrom Sale 2026 finds over the next few weeks, so keep checking back! And tell us in the comments – what’s the first thing you’re shopping this year?!
