ICYMI: Nordstrom’s Half Yearly Sale (spring 2024 edition) is here to help you elevate your summer wardrobe without blowing your vacation fund. Nordstrom’s Half Yearly Sale is always filled to the brim with incredible scores in apparel, home decor, and beauty, but this time around, it’s the designer clearance that really shines.
The designer clearance section of the sale is chock full of designer pieces from labels that rarely ever get marked down—and they’re all a whopping 40 percent off. After perusing all 50 pages of the designer clearance sale (yes, my head hurts), I spotted a slew of my favorite names in fashion, including Maison Margiela, Balenciaga, Simone Rocha, Chloé, Cecilie Bahnsen, Jimmy Choo, Molly Goddard, Jacquemus, JW Anderson, and Balmain.
Nordstrom only offers a few sitewide sales each year, and the biannual half-yearly sale is one of the biggest and best opportunities to refresh your closet pre-summer. For a limited time, you score thousands of stellar markdowns up to 50 percent off (including the designer markdowns, but all categories are included). This isn’t just an end-of-season liquidation clearance to get rid of stock that simply didn’t sell in the winter and spring.

If past years are any indication of what’s to come for this year’s half-yearly sale, covetable deals will sell out quickly, so we suggest acting fast on all of the items accumulating in your cart. To save you time, I scoured the virtual aisles of the designer clearance offerings to find some of the best pieces to scoop up while they’re 40 percent off. Scroll through below to check out everything I would buy from the designer clearance section.

Balenciaga Mini Le Cagole Leather Crossbody
This motorcycle-inspired bag reminds me of the pint-sized version of the Balenciaga City Bag (which seemed to coincide with the birth of the ‘it girl’) I grew up coveting in the 2000s.

Lafayette 148 New York Lantern Sleeve Silk & Linen Dress
If you’ve been on a quest to find the perfect LWD (little white dress) for spring and summer, consider the search over.

Maison Margiela Number Logo Cotton T-Shirt
If you’re going to wear a logo tee, this Margiela option is the one to go with.

Cecilie Bahnsen Vanda Sleeveless Silk Midi Dress
This silk dress is balletcore at its absolute finest.

Amina Muaddi Camelia Crystal Buckle Slingback Pump
These embellished shoes go with just about any outfit, and thanks to the kitten heel, you’ll actually want to wear them with everything.

The Row Stockwell V-Neck Cashmere Sweater
Even on sale, The Row’s cashmere basics are far from wallet-friendly, but when you feel how soft it is, you won’t regret it.

Stella McCartney Banana Leg Ankle Length Utility Jeans
These Stella McCartney jeans tackle two denim trends: the barrel leg and the carpenter look. Plus, they’re in a post-Memorial Day-friendly off-white hue.

FERRAGAMO Charming Medium Leather Tote
The ultimate luxury work bag.

Versace Medusa Embroidered Cable Knit Virgin Wool Sweater
I’m not usually into the Versace Medusa graphics, but this knit sweater is beyond cool.

JW Anderson Men’s Flat Fisherman Sandal
Do yourself a favor and ditch those decade-old slip-ons or flip-flops that are practically falling apart, and invest in a sleek leather alternative like this JW Anderson pair.
