The below content is about the 2020 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
This is such a crazy time to be shopping for work — but there are some great deals if you're building a work wardrobe or need some new pieces to freshen up your collection. As always, Nordstrom has one of the best return policies among the workwear retailers — you can return clothes at any time, no questions asked, and even return by mail is free and easy, no matter when you placed your order.
I've pictured a ton of great coats, tops for work (Zoom shirts!), lingerie, blazers, and dresses — I'll also do a mini-roundup here of the best stuff to look for if you're freshening up your weekend duds.
(Aug. 19 update — I've just reviewed the post; everything with a strike through it is sold out… for the moment. I'm already seeing things BACK in stock, though, so I wouldn't count it out yet. I'm not sure if there have been returns or if the store has been restocking it the sale.)
- jeans from Wit & Wisdom, Paige, AG, FRAME, Kut from the Kloth, Articles of Society, and Rag & Bone

Bottoms for Work
(They all kind of look like basic black pants so I thought I'd just list them…)
And as per usual, the selection of plus size clothing is small and kind of meh. The only thing I really wanted was the Barbour quilted coat in black, and it’s sold out in black already :(
I love my NYDJ jeans, but have bought several pairs in the same classic styles for about the same cost over the past few months.
The plus-size selection is extremely meh. Last year was bad for plus, too, so I don’t think it’s a covid thing; they’ve just decided to abandon that market. Sigh.
I couldn’t agree more. I put some things on my wishlist and they’ve been long sold out. :(
Everything decent is pretty much sold out.
I have the first dress listed (blue floral Eliza J). I’m pear shaped and and it is very flattering.
what is the brand of the black bra? “The black one has been one of the TOP reader favorites since the Coronavirus Craziness started.”
results returned as null. thanks!
So odd! It’s True & Co — I got 6 results when I checked just now.
