Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of the summer season, and it’s also when the annual Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale takes place. It’s often the first weekend where people make an effort to unplug from work, connect with friends, and prepare for the excitement of the months ahead. If you’re a savvy online shopper or a fan of Nordstrom–the Venn diagram of which is basically a circle–you’ll know it’s also one of the best times to save big at the retailer. With deals up to 60% off on all of your favorite go-to brands from Free People and Topshop to Treasure & Bond and BP., it’s an opportunity to revamp your wardrobe without breaking the bank. There are also select scores on some premium and designer labels like Rebecca Taylor, VINCE, and Ganni. The sale runs through June 6th but you’ll want to shop sooner to snag your preferred sizes. Ahead, shop 25 trending styles that both your closet and budget will thank you for during the Nordstrom Half-Yearly sale. 

A quality pair of denim shorts is hard to come by for under $50. This pair by Treasure & Bond is 60% off meaning you could get two pairs and still pay less than you would full price.

A high-waist and semi-relaxed fit make this a super transitional choice with endless styling options. Treasure & Bond High Waist Boyfriend Cutoff Denim Shorts, $19.60 (originally $49 – 60% off)

BP.’s Printed Everyday Trousers are a stunning example of letting vintage trends inspire modern styles. The ’70s revival is still going strong, and this pair takes design cues from the retro geometric prints of the era. A drawstring waist and wide-leg fit give them an effortlessly cool factor. Rock with a strappy crop top and heeled sandals for a night out look or pair down with a tee and blazer combo for work meetings. B.P. Printed Everyday Trouser, $19.60 (originally $49 – 60% off)
