You can find some great deals on fashion throughout the year at Nordstrom, but the after-Christmas period holds a very concentrated selection of discounted designer items. Think: Clothing, shoes, and accessories from Ulla Johnson, Veronica Beard, Frame, Paige, and AllSaints for up to 60 percent off. You probably never thought you’d hear those brands with that high of a discount, but alas, the time has finally come.

Below, I’ve got you covered with my 25 favorite picks that are currently majorly marked down at Nordstrom—I do believe they’re the best.

Best After-Christmas Nordstrom Deals Overall

There are over 10,000 fashion and beauty deals on Nordstrom right now, and within them, I mined for the designer scores. Among my very top five are practical indulgences, like a printed dress from Ulla Johnson, a cashmere-blend scarf by Johnstons of Elgin, and a pair of sleek Chelsea boots by Veronica Beard. You also won’t go wrong with DL1961’s cuffed boyfriend jeans, which you’ll likely wear on repeat from spring to fall, or a cute crewneck sweatshirt from Sporty & Rich for lounging. Discounts on these start at 40 percent and go all the way up to 60.

Beyond Ulla Johnson, shop zingy printed dresses by Farm Rio and Alica + Olivia, between 25 and 60 percent off. I like Reiss for something a bit more muted. But if you’d rather channel quiet luxury, and keep your bottom line low, don’t sleep on a simple LBD from Cos.

Farm Rio Mixed Print Long-Sleeve Cotton-Blend Dress

If you’re thinking about heading somewhere warm for spring break, get ahead and start shopping your looks now. I’d start with this tropical print Farm Rio dress, which can be worn with neutral flats in the daytime and a pair of color-coordinated espadrilles by night.

Alice + Olivia Clyde Sleeveless A-Line Minidress

Step outside the box of versatile cocktail dresses for this statement piece by Alice + Olivia. Keep accessories simple to avoid a sartorial catfight, and wear it with sheer hosiery until the weather warms.

Reiss Ciara Abstract Print Long-Sleeve Shirtdress

Shirt dresses are always in style—really, they’re so effortlessly chic—but I especially like this one for its subtle ‘70s appeal. Round out the look with hoop earrings and strappy sandals.

Best Cashmere Deals

I’m a sucker for cashmere, so of course I went bananas over these deals. Nordstrom offers designer-quality cashmere sweaters for just $80 each, so I’d say that you should pick up an assortment of crewnecks and V-necks in your favorite colors to wear layered over T-shirts through the remainder of winter. (And if you live on the West Coast, as I do, you know these may come in handy on cool summer nights, too.) Cardigans from Vince and Alex Mill are must-haves for me, too.

Crewneck cashmere sweaters are the building blocks of my transitional weather and winter wardrobes—I wear them practically year-round and recommend them to anyone, especially at this quality and price point. They’re insulating yet breathable, which means they work well whether you run hot or cold. Since I’m the latter, they are a great top layer under a tank or tee in the winter.

Johnstons of Elgin Textural Ombré Scarf

Nordstrom

Nordstrom

I love luxe winter accessories, but when push comes to shove, I won’t splurge on them (or recommend that you do). Luckily, there’s so much on sale right now, including this cashmere, wool, alpaca, and silk scarf by Johnstons of Elgin. It’s the Holy Grail of cashmere-blend scarves for 55 percent off.

Vince Boiled Cashmere Cardigan

Nordstrom

If crewneck sweaters are my foundation, then cardigans frame my entire sweater collection and add a dimension to my looks (while the aforementioned scarf is an essential finishing touch at this time of year). The price for this Vince cardigan is steeper than other options on my list, to be sure, but that’s likely because it’s made from boiled cashmere, a version that’s treated for a softer and more insulating effect.

Best Jean Deals

There is such a wide variety of jeans options available, from wide-leg and flared to tapered and skinny. Washes are abundant, too. It’s great news for me and anyone else looking for a refresh in the denim department.

Madewell Tapered Denim Pants

Nordstrom

I had so much fun browsing silhouettes and was thrilled to find this subtle barrel-leg option from Madewell. It’s great for those looking to dip their toes in the trend rather than leap for something more dramatic (which is also more widely available).

DL1961 Thea Relaxed Tapered Boyfriend Ankle Jeans

Circling back to that warm weather vacation line-up, I’d buy and pack these to wear with flip-flops and a strappy tank top to mosey through your resort or explore a quaint town. They’ll serve you well from spring to fall, too.

Favorite Daughter The Olympic Flare Jeans

Nordstrom

These office-friendly Favorite Daughter jeans are 50 percent off and still available in every size. I’m about to make them part of my new uniform with the previously mentioned T-shirt and sweater combo and a pair of boots for the remainder of winter.

Best Loungewear Deals

Cute and comfy loungewear at a discount is sometimes hard to come by, so I was pretty excited to find these great deals: a Sporty & Rich sweatshirt for 50 percent off, which I would wear with sneakers and Beyond Yoga’s Space Dye bike shorts for 35 percent off when running errands in my neighborhood.

Sporty & Rich Emblem Crewneck Cotton-Blend Sweatshirt

Nordstrom

Nordstrom

I wouldn’t pay full price for a sweatshirt but for 50 percent off, and under $100, I’m pretty inclined. I like that this neutral one is made from a cotton blend, so it won’t shrink in the dryer. It’s also made in the United States by an AAPI-owned brand.

Rebecca Taylor Violet Fleur Silk Pajama Pants

Nordstrom

Nordstrom

As an alternative to athleisure, I love a pair of pajama pants that double as actual pants (styled appropriately). Given their versatility and discounted price tag, I actually consider this a great value.

Petite Plume Sonnet of Swans Print Piped Pima Cotton Pajamas

Nordstrom

I’ve been curious to try a sleepwear set from popular pajama brand Petite Plume, and while this ‘60s-era swan printed set is on sale for nearly 30 percent off, I just might. The Pima cotton is sure to be ultrasoft.

Best Boot Deals

Although they’re a versatile basic, you can’t have too many boots. Even the simplest of designs have nuances with several materials, colors, and textures. Aerosoles, one of my favorite shoe brands for support, is offering discounted boots up to 40 percent, while Tory Burch’s selection of boots on Nordstrom are priced up to 50 percent off.

Aerosoles Lanita Bootie

These booties from Aerosoles are perfect for commuters. For one, they’re office-appropriate, but they’re also made with an extra supportive footbed and low heel that’s great for those who do some walking to get to work. And at $85, you won’t feel so bad when you eventually wear them out from clocking all those steps.

AllSaints Tori Lug Sole Boot

Nordstrom

Nordstrom

If you’re looking to hop on the combat boots trend, you should check out this 25 percent off pair by All Saints. They’re such a simple but sleek combination of smooth leather and gold hardware, and the sole is just the right amount of chunky.

Veronica Beard Lada Chelsea Boot

Nordstrom

Nordstrom

I saved the deal of all deals for last: a classic pair of heeled Chelsea boots by Veronica Beard. The Caramel and Espresso colors are a whopping 60 percent off, which brings the price under $100. The black leather option is also on sale for 50 percent off, which is hardly a bad deal, either.
