The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is still going strong, and there are some great items I don’t want you to miss out on! My favorite items to utilize the sale for are jeans and shoes, so I’m sharing the 10 best jeans from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and 9 shoes you definitely want to check out!
Buying quality jeans and shoes makes a HUGE difference in your style. When those items are higher quality, your outfits are more comfortable and look more elevated and sophisticated. So, if you are trying to figure out where prioritize your focus, I highly encourage you to shop for jeans and shoes during the sale. With that said, here are jeans and shoes that I recommend grabbing from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!
As a reminder, Nordstrom’s customer service is amazing. Unmatched, really. First, there’s free shipping and free return shipping on all orders, so I ALWAYS encourage you to order things just to try since you can mail it back for free if it doesn’t fit or if you don’t like it. Second, their return policy is so generous. There are no time restrictions, meaning you could have purchased an item 6 months ago (or even a year ago!), and they’ll still take your return. You can usually return even if you don’t have your receipt. Anddddd, while I don’t think this should be abused, Nordstrom will usually take the return even if the piece has been worn. So if it breaks or gets worn out quickly or within an unreasonable timeframe, you can rest assured that they will likely allow the return. All these things give me lots of peace of mind when shopping and is a huge reason I love shopping there.
(And no, this post isn’t sponsored, though I know it sounds like it, haha! I just legit appreciate their customer service and need you all to know about it because it alleviates so many of the worries and hassles of shopping online.)
Bottom line: don’t be scared to order stuff to try. Don’t be scared you’ll miss out on the return window, because there isn’t one. Don’t be scared to order multiple sizes to find your best fit.
Okay! Let’s get to which jeans and shoes to try from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!
SIZING: I’m 5’6″ and usually S/M or 6 in clothes and 8.5 to 9 in shoes.
Best Jeans From the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
You know I’m all about stretchy clothes, and that includes my jeans! If my jeans aren’t comfortable and stretchy… well, I just can’t be bothered. 😆 My favorite stretchy jeans brands can be found at Nordstrom — and for a deal during the NSale!
One of my longtime favorite brand for jeans has been Wit & Wisdom for, like, YEARS. Their denim tends to be super stretchy and often very soft and comfortable. But the game-changer has been the stretchy elastic waistband so you can sit, eat, and move in them comfortably throughout the day!
Another favorite is KUT From the Kloth, especially their wide leg jeans which are super stretchy and soft, and they also have stretchy waistbands.
Here are several of the best jeans that are still in stock. Give them a try and snag them while they’re on sale!
1. Wit & Wisdom Crop Wide Leg Jeans
Winners! Thick but stretchy, with a comfy, stretchy, elastic waistband and versatile dark wash. The v-shaped pockets add a cute detail if you tuck in your shirt, but they disappear under untucked tops. They’re very similar to the Draper James crop wide leg jeans from Kohl’s, but in case those didn’t work for you or if you just prefer our favorite Wit & Wisdom brand, check these out while they’re on sale! Wearing size 6.
➡️ Find my shirt HERE. It’s GREAT! Super-duper breathable in the summer heat. Under $24 right now! I wear size S.
2. Madewell Dark Wash Jeans
Don’t these jeans make a fun statement? Super soft and very stretchy, but still supportive with great rebound. The wash is a beautiful vibrant blue, and the wide leg adds a stylish, eye-catching silhouette. I’m wearing size 28.
3. KUT From The Kloth Wide Leg Jeans
SO GOOOOOOD! This style is a PMT fan favorite, and, unlike the other versions, this one is full-length with a finished hem. BUTTERY soft and stretchy, but still sturdy and supportive. They are a richer blue wash in person — way better than they appear online.
The rise is 10.5”. I wish it were 0.5” higher, but it still works for me… and oddly, the pair that got delivered to me feels slightly higher than the pair I tried in store. (Woohoo!) I’m wearing size 4.
4. KUT From the Kloth Raw Hem Wide Leg Jeans
If you want something shorter with a raw hem that’s just as comfy, check these jeans out! They’re not part of the NSale, but they are on sale for just $49 — that’s 50% off! SUCH a good price for this brand! They’re stretchy, super COMFORTABLE, soooo soft, and have all the things PMTers love about the Meg Wide Leg Jeans. Wearing size 4.
Note: This wash leans a bit more faded/grey than the full length pair I showed in #8. Think about what colors you wear most — this could be a great option if you prefer a softer wash over something more saturated.
5. Wit & Wisdom Frayed Hem Boyfriend Jeans
So cute! The frayed hem gives these boyfriend jeans a modern twist. I sized down to size 4 for a more streamlined fit — size 6 looked subtly bulky around the hips and felt a little frumpy.
Note: The cuff comes up pretty high and could cut off a leg line very easily. If you’re on the shorter side, I’d be mindful of that. It doesn’t hurt to order them to try, given Nordstrom’s free return shipping, but as you try them on, look out for the length of the cuff.
6. Wit & Wisdom Black Pants
These aren’t jeans, but I MUST make sure you see these because they are SO COMFORTABLE! Luxurious feel, stretchy, soft! Oh man! They feel so good and look so polished. Such a steal on sale. Definitely at least TRY them while they’re on sale and available! I originally tried these in a size 6 a while ago, and they looked frumpy on me, but they look so good in size 4! 🔥 (This is why nailing the DETAILS of your fit is so, so important.) THEY ARE SOOOOOO COMFORTABLE!
➡️ Find my shirt HERE. Love this thing! It’s stretchy through the torso, comfortable, and looks great with both jeans and pants for work. The flutter sleeves add a cute detail to level up an otherwise basic piece. And it’s only $19.97!! I wear size S.
7. Wit & Wisdom Black Wide Leg Jeans
These are too long for me, so imagine them not bunching up and dragging at the bottom. 😊 They’re good, though! Really fluid, stretchy, and comfortable. Plus, they have the elastic in the back of the waistband so you can sit and move comfortably! I’m wearing size 6.
8. Wit & Wisdom Bootcut Jeans
This style has been a PMT fan favorite for nearly a DECADE! (Can you believe it?!?!!) I haven’t tried this specific colorway, but I’ve owned this style in others for MANY years. They’re SO SOFT. And they have elastic in the back of the waistband. Stretchy waistbands are game-changers! I usually size up in this style to size 8, but if you don’t have fuller thighs like me, you can stick with your typical size.
9. Wit & Wisdom Washed Black Jeans
Some PMTers really like this pair. They’re not quite as soft and are sturdier than most other W&W jeans, but they have some stretch and look clean. I wear size 6.
Favorite Shoes From the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
There are some great shoe options this year! If you’re looking to update or fill out your fall shoe wardrobe, I recommend having at least one pair of everyday lifestyle sneakers, a pair of everyday boots, and a pair of dressy boots. If you’re expanding your options, add statement sneakers in cute colors or prints!
1. Blondo Waterproof Boot
LOVE these! They’re waterproof (yes!), the high shaft works great with both ankle-length and full-length jeans, and they’re surprisingly lightweight for how chunky they look. A definite upgrade from a similar NSale pair I got a few years ago which had a lower shaft and were much heavier. Great with sweatshirts, sweaters, plaid shirts, and chambray. Wearing size 9.
Find my sweater HERE. I’m wearing size S.
2. New Balance Sneaker
How adorable are these colors?! As for how they feel, they feel like what you’d expect from a New Balance sneaker — comfy and good quality, just in cute, fresh colors! I fit size 9 best in these.
➡️ Find my jacket HERE in straight sizes, petite sizes, and plus sizes. I’m wearing size S.
➡️ Find my t-shirt HERE. I’m wearing size S.
3. Blume Sneaker
Why am I so enamored by this sneaker? 😍 IT’S EVEN CUTER IN PERSON! If you don’t like leopard print, it also comes in a mauve-ish color (called brown) that is also SOOO CUTE in person!
In the comfort department, they’re…normal? Not notably comfortable, but not uncomfortable either, if that makes sense. I think they could benefit from a shoe insert if you prefer more cushion, which is an easy thing to add. The upper is soft and doesn’t pinch anywhere. Overall, just normal, haha! I wear size 9.
4. Lifestyle Sneaker
Also way better in person than online! Online this sneaker looks pink-ish, but in person it’s more ecru/cream, more like my pic above but even less pinkish. I love the texture and the gum sole! These have a cushioned footbed. I wear size 9.
If ecru goes well with your color palette, then check these out! However, if white is better, check out an option I’ll share below.
5. Dr. Scholl’s Colored Sneaker
These come in this light blue and a REALLY cute light pink! They’re VERY comfortable with a cushioned footbed, extra padding at the heel, and soft upper. I have to be diligent and force myself to return these because I don’t think I need another pair of colored sneakers. 😆 These are SO CUTE and comfortable though, so it’s taking a lot of will power, haha! I wear size 8.5.
➡️ Find my t-shirt HERE. I’m wearing size M.
➡️ Find my jeans HERE. I’m wearing size 27.
6. Dr. Scholl’s Platform Sneaker
I saw these and wanted to try them in case you are looking for everyday lifestyle sneakers. This is a good option! This one is white, so if that works well with your color palette, definitely give these a try! They are very comfortable wish a cushioned footbed and soft upper. The stitching gives it texture, and the metallic accents add a bit of glam! One note is that the toe box is a bit wider than other shoes. Not in a bad or good way, but just something I noticed. I wear size 8.5.
➡️ Find my sweater HERE. I’m wearing size S.
➡️ Find my jeans HERE. I’m wearing size 27.
7. Blondo Heeled Waterproof Boot
A GREAT option for a dressy boot that looks stylish and elevated but is also practical — it’s waterproof! I LOVE waterproof boots because you don’t have to worry about changing your shoes — and therefore sometimes your whole outfit 😫 — if it’s wet outside. This style is SO versatile and works with all of your dressy casual, work, and dressy outfits! Definitely a must-try while they’re on sale!
➡️ Find my sweater HERE. I’m wearing size S.
8. Blondo Cammie Waterproof Boot
Another casual waterproof boot to try. If you want one with a thinner sole than the one I shared earlier, try this option instead! I haven’t tried it, but with Nordstrom’s free shipping and free return shipping, you should check it out now while it’s on sale.
9. Rothy’s Square Toe Mary Jane Flat
I haven’t tried this one either, but Rothy’s has a reputation for being comfortable with a flexible upper. I believe there may not be much support, but that’s easily fixable by adding your own insert. Also, these are machine washable!
Those are some of the best jeans and shoes from this year’s Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! The sale only lasts until the end of this week, so if you’ve been eyeing anything, grab it now while they’re on sale. Then, you can take your time deciding if it’s a keeper!
