Here are the 5 best Nordstrom Anniversary Sale items you should score in 2024:

---

1. Spanx makes these faux leather leggings and you can save over $30 shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the perfect time to score these popular Spanx leggings because they’re typically on sale every year. I scooped them up during this sale quite a few years ago, and they’re still my favorite go-to bottoms when I’m looking to dress a little extra sexy for a night on the town.

Plus, they suck you in like no other leggings, feel SO amazing on, and look just like actual leather! Having tried a few of the dupes for these leggings, I can promise you there is absolutely no substitute for these, so don’t hesitate to spend a little extra to get the real deal this year.

2. Grab some new Bombas socks and save over $25 on a value pack.

Socks tend to be something many people don’t love spending money on, but The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale makes it easy and exciting to stock up on the popular Bombas brand. They feature a cushioned footbed and seamless toe for superior comfort. Now’s the time to scoop up this brand if you appreciate a good sock without breaking the bank.

3. Grab a pair of these Hoka running shoes and save $35.

You certainly get what you pay for when it comes to shoes, and Hoka is a shoe brand we all know and love. Be sure to grab these Nordstrom Sale sneakers if you want the most comfortable pair of running shoes ever! They’ll be a favorite new staple piece and are sure to last, according to our Hip sidekick, Cam.

4. Score this wardrobe staple piece jacket for $90 OFF.

Investing in a quality coat that you can wear for years to come is a smart buy, and getting it for nearly 50% off is a no-brainer. This double-breasted coat is on Nordstrom’s Top 10 Trends for 2024, and it’s pretty obvious why. It will go with just about everything in your closet, and the sale price is tough to beat for the quality you’ll get. What’s more, it’s a couple hundred less than a similar style that’s already sold out during the Nordy Sale! 😱

---

5. Score a Bobbi Brown effortless eyeshadow set for almost half off.

This is one beauty item that’s sure to sell out quickly, so don’t hesitate if you’re a huge Bobbi Brown fan! This is one luxury makeup brand that’s typically on sale every year, making it a great time to stock up! Anyone who appreciates luxury makeup will love this effortless and long-wearing eye shadow set that lasts all day!

Check out these lookalikes we found that cost less than even the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale:

---

1. The print on this blanket is the same as Barefoot Dreams and it’s practically just as soft too.

Many Barefoot Dreams blankets are on sale right now for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, but we’ve tested these lookalike blankets ourselves and we know they’re a better buy. If you’ve had your heart set on these super soft cozy blankets, you’ll get more bang for your buck with our find that’s currently under $40.

---

2. Grab a pair of chic faux fur leggings for about $60 less on Amazon.

These faux leather leggings are becoming just as popular, if not more popular, than my favorite Spanx faux leather leggings I shared above. So, if you’re not planning to scoop up the real deal during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, grab a pair of these! We’ve heard the affordable Amazon pair feels the most similar to leather, and they even have a fleece-lined option.

---

3. Lounge in a new pair of pajamas and save $10 more.

The Moonlight pajama sets at Nordstrom are one item that typically goes on sale every year. However, there’s almost always a great lookalike you can score for less, too! This year, the Nordstrom sale price is $3 MORE than they were last year. 😱 We spotted the best alternative on Amazon which comes in countless color options and there’s even a clippable coupon making them the best price yet.

---

4. Grab Collin’s under $10 sweatpants instead of splurging on a pair of Zella’s.

You can basically get a pair in every color of Collin’s favorite shorts and still spend less than the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale price on the Sweaty Betty shorts. Our under $7 pick has been a top seller for multiple weeks in a row and they’re selling out quickly! So I wouldn’t hesitate to grab this look that’s buttery, soft, and so affordable.

---

5. Skip the expensive Unseen Sunscreen for Trader Joe’s identical skincare product.

For starters, if you’ve already tried this identical product from Trader Joe’s and you still love to splurge on the Sugargoop Unseen Sunscreen, this is certainly a great deal to score during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. However, I personally tested both of these products last summer and could hardly tell the difference, and the ingredients are the same! If you want to save over 40 bucks I definitely recommend hopping over to Trader Joe’s and grabbing this find for less than $10.
