Surprise! Nordstrom is having an end-of-winter clearout sale, which is a huge event for the retailer — and a big win for your wallet. The more room Nordstrom can make on the shelves for new inventory (re: spring and summer items), the better. To do that, the brand is heavily discounting items in stock, and I’m not being dramatic when I say that you’ll especially want to take advantage of these under-$50 deals while they last . . . because they won’t.
When shopping end-of-season sales, I like to categorize my wishlist into three categories: capsule wardrobe items, current popular picks and projected trendy finds. I usually buy elevated basics for my capsule wardrobe, making sure I only grab quality clothes. I invest in the pieces I can wear for years to come. And lastly, I spend as little as possible on current trends; they may be hot now, but the pot cools quickly. Although, some trends have staying potential — just look at ‘90s and Y2K clothing, which have stuck around for decades.
All this to say, if you love something in Nordstrom’s clearance section, treat yourself! But before you peruse (there are over 100 pages worth of deals and steals), check out the list of highlights below.
Nordstrom’s End-of-Winter Clearout Deals — All Under $50
1. My Favorite: Warmer weather on the horizon means event season is near, and this floral-printed mesh dress embodies spring (and your social calendar) in bloom.
2. Top Trend: Bows are everywhere right now, and I’m seeing this so much in fashion. This tie-front knit cardigan is trendy yet timeless; it comes in neutral color options and maintains a simple design that won’t go out of style.
3. Cozy Essential: Whether you work from home or your favorite pastime is rotting on the couch, this full-length micro-fleece bathrobe is about to be your new uniform.
4. Capsule-Worthy: When huge end-of-season sales come around, I try to think long-term . . . and I anticipate that this pleated mini skirt will stand the test of time. This houndstooth pick is a mainstay for any capsule because it can be dressed up for office days or down for casual meetups.
5. Must-Have Denim: For those of Us impatiently waiting for mid-rise denim to have its moment, these column-style jeans meet the pant-rise standards. Plus, if you’re a street style enthusiast, they offer the ideal amount of bagginess.

6. Super Soft Slippers: I was always told to “put your slippers on” growing up, and though I’d roll my eyes at the instruction, I now swear by slippers as an adult. These clog-style slippers are especially cozy, thanks to the flannel lining, temperature-regulated fleece footbed and memory foam insoles for optimal support.
7. Daring Lingerie: Spotted: Gossip Girl author Cecily von Ziegesar penning a Blair Waldorf sequel — and if you were Team B over Team S, you likely coveted the Constance Queen’s enviable lingerie collection as I did. This balconette bustier has the same appeal as Blair’s covetable pieces and comes in three colors, including black, white and dark green.
8. Lacy Brassiere: If a bodysuit or teddy situation isn’t your vibe, treat yourself to a gorgeous lace balconette bra. With feminine touches like meshwork, floral details and a dainty bow, this elevated undergarment that will make you feel as pretty as it looks.
9. Sporty Chic: Nordstrom carries one of my favorite activewear brands, and a medium-support sports bra from the label’s bestselling collection is 25% off. Grab your sneakers and run, don’t walk.
10. ‘Seasonless’ Staple: Long-sleeve tops are a year-round must. They work as foundational layers in the fall and winter, and are saving graces in the spring and summer when the sun goes down and evenings are cool. This elevated basic crewneck option comes in black and white, which are staple colors for your everyday wardrobe.
11. Anything but Basic: If you’re looking to refresh your basic short-sleeve tee collection, a puff-sleeve Henley with a V-neckline and button half-placket detail offers an easy elevation.
12. Everyday Tee: Whoever said the perfect T-shirt doesn’t exist clearly never wore this square-neck baby tee. Constructed from a blend of stretchy yet fitted nylon and spandex, this top offers wearers the perfect balance of comfort and support.
13. Winter Must-Have: End-of-season sales are great for stocking up on the seasonal gaps in your wardrobe. Case in point: If you don’t have a cozy cable-knit sweater in your rotation, now’s your chance to change that.
14. Epic Sweats: Loungewear may not be the first category to come to mind when you think of Nordstrom, but the retailer carries luxury lounge pieces. For example, this balloon-leg style that’s currently 30% off is roomy and lined with fleece for an optimal relaxation fit and feel.
15. A Wintertime Necessity: Thermal pajamas are underrated because they’re generally more practical than they are stylish. However, a quality set of thermal PJs function as more than sleepwear; the top and pants can serve as base layers in winter when you have to go outside to shovel the snow.
