In the middle of all of the (many) Memorial Day sales happening this weekend, there’s one that stands out from the rest — and it’s technically not even a Memorial Day sale. If you’re a savvy shopper, you already know that I’m talking about Nordstrom Rack‘s much-anticipated Clear the Rack event. Not familiar? Well, from now until May 27, everyone gets to take an extra 25% off thousands of clearance items from the retailer, amounting to savings of up to 80% off the original price. Swoop up discounts on everything from dresses, shoes and even designer brands.
Have you ever heard of a better way to kick off summer? You can shop the entire Clear the Rack sale here, but if you need help getting started, scroll below to check out our hand-picked steals that are seriously worth your money.
This classic style has been a Yahoo reader favorite for years — and this pretty red shade (perfect for those upcoming summer barbecues) is currently only $15. Mind blown. The lightweight dress is made from a breezy gauze fabric that’s perfect for hot days. Style it with a strappy sandal or throw it over a bathing suit and turn it into a beach coverup.
Speaking of strappy sandals, this gold pair will look excellent with any flowy dress you throw on this season. The beading gives the center strap a fun update. It’s available in brown, too.
A universal fashion rule: summer means a new pair of black flowy linen pants. The stretchy waist of this pair adds a secret comfy feel so they can be dressed up or down. Just slip them on for an instantly chic and comfy look.
What’s a good sale event without a good sneaker deal? This lightweight pair from Vionic — an Oprah-loved shoe brand — is made with a special cushiony insole to keep your feet pain-free while you’re clocking in those daily 10,000 steps. Even podiatrists routinely advocate for Vionic shoes because they’re so healthy for your feet.
The last thing you want to happen on your summer vacay is for your luggage to break. Now’s the ideal time to get ahead of it and replace your old suitcase with this durable hardshell one that’s more $300 off. The eight-wheel spinning wheels mean you can smoothly glide through the busiest of airports. Plus, the green is just really pretty.
Whoever told you that you can’t snuggle up under an ultra-cozy blanket now that the weather’s warmer must hate joy. Yes, you absolutely can, and this Ugg favorite with a multicolored yarn print is the perfect partner — it’s also over $100 off. A true win-win
Ideal for layering on a chilly summer evening, this cozy hoodie comes in five neutral colors (like this pretty rose) for easy pairing. Throw it over a pair of jeans during a walk on the boardwalk — there are even pockets to hold your phone or lip gloss.
A bucket bag makes an excellent summer accessory — especially when it’s from iconic brand Longchamp and nearly $250 off. (Yes, you heard us right). Thanks to the roomy interior and top drawstring closure, it’s perfect for everyday wear.
