Unlike many other sales, Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale includes markdowns on brand new arrivals, offering customers exclusive deals on new season pieces for a limited time. This year, the sale will feature an extended assortment of loungewear, activewear and home items in response to customer demand as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and our new normal.
