In case you haven't heard, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is well underway, and we have plenty of insider intel on the best discounts to take advantage of, from top-rated denim deals to shocking designer discounts. Since the sale spans many categories, I don't recommend diving in headfirst without a road map unless you want to waste several hours scrolling through hundreds of product pages.
Instead, shop my fashion editor-vetted guide to the best on-sale fashion items to save time and effort. Classic, refined, and elevated style seems to be a growing theme as we head through the summer, thanks to influences like the quiet-luxury aesthetic and Sofia Richie's wedding wardrobe. If you're also after the simplicity of the anti-trend aesthetic, you'll find this Nordstrom edit to be everything you're looking for. I spent the morning combing through the sale, and the trove of cool anti-trend items I found is so good I'm not just quietly telling everyone about them—I'm positively shouting.
With endless ways to style it, a striped shirt isn't just a good basic—it's a wardrobe nonnegotiable.
