Nordstrom 2026 Anniversary Sale For Men
Above: BOSS Jacket – $398.99 ($595) & Trousers – $129.99 ($198), Bugatchi Polo – $149.99 ($225), Nordstrom Bit Driving Loafers – $69.99 ($99.95), Magnanni Rafa Loafers – $299.99 ($425), Magnanni Malta Derby – $299.99 ($425)
Nordstrom is one of the last great department stores. They expertly blend a mix of 3rd party goods with their own (more affordable) in-house brands, they’re stylish, and they have legendary customer service. They really do help make developing a personal sense of style fun.
Unlike the half-yearly sales & seasonal clearances, which see in-season goods get marked down, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is both a preview of the upcoming season, and a sale on year-round goods which don’t always see markdowns. That combination is a rarity in the retail sale game. This stuff can sell out sometimes too. Here’s one interpretation of the best of the best. As always, everything ships and returns for free with Nordstrom. No minimum.
Nordstrom Navy Shadow Plaid Virgin Wool Suit – $366.99 ($549)
Nordstrom’s house line of suits and sportcoats can really impress. This one in a dark shadow plaid might do just that for (well) under $400. Dark navy tonal plaids or micro patterns are an excellent third or fourth suit choice (following solid charcoal and navy.) They look terrific when worn with all sorts of solid shirts and ties, as there’s a bit of pattern going on with the suit’s fabric. They also look terrific tieless with a dress shirt or polo or even a crewneck sweater, as that visual interest of the pattern can keep the suit from looking too blank. Trousers come unhemmed, which is pretty standard for nested suits like this. Free shipping/returns always helps of course.
Bruno Magli Vito Plain Toe Derby – $259.99 ($395)
Dead simple. Very Italian. Cognac or black. Derby “open” lacing style, as opposed to the dressier oxford style, but still very much suit worthy.
Nordstrom Made in the USA Cedar Shoe Trees – $19.99 ($24.95)
There are a lot of shoes in this sale. And yes, even these ship (and return) for free. So these might be a perfect impulse buy. Here’s the size chart for these things. Most will need a medium or large, depending on size and width. For example, the most common sizes are as follows:
- D width size 8.5, 9, and 9.5 takes a medium.
- D width 10, 10.5, and 11 takes a large.
Size chart is also linked to on the product page. Just click on the “size guides” link and it should pop up.
Allen Edmonds Carlyle Plain Toe Oxfords – $299.99 ($450)
Something to “go with” those shoe trees… Goodyear welted in Port Washington Wisconsin. Dark chili or black calfskin, as well as a patent leather for the black-tie traditionalists.
Barbour Lindfield Quilted Jacket – $196.99 ($295)
Almost a hundred bucks off. Is it hot as blazes right now and the mere though of wearing a quilted Barbour enough to set off our underarm sweat glands? Absolutely. It’s still a timeless classic on sale for almost a hundred bucks off.
Nordstrom Trim Fit Solid Premium Performance Dress Shirts – $65.99 ($99.50)
Interesting blend here: 45% cotton, 30% nylon, 21% lyocell, 4% spandex. That’s quite a bit of engineered fibers. But that’s the point as they’re “performance” dress shirts. Yet also a healthy dose of cotton too. With the weather being what it is, these seem like a solid bet. And that particular shade of blue is perfect.
Nordstrom Henrik Trim Fit Plaid Slub Linen & Cotton Blend Sport Coat – $266.99 ($399)
A perfect hot weather blazer. 54% linen, 44% cotton, 2% virgin wool. Butterfly lined in the back. A bold summery plaid which keeps things from getting too crazy by remaining anchored in earth tones.
Made in Italy Johnston & Murphy Taylor Penny Loafers – $199.99 ($295)
Something to wear with that Nordstrom Linen/Cotton sportcoat. Italian suede uppers. From their higher tier Made in Italy line.
Nordstrom Pavel Suede Double Keeper Belt – $49.99 ($69)
And a belt to match (or thereabouts) the suede loafers.
Cole Haan GrandPro Luxe LTT Sneaker – $118.99 ($170)
“This sneaker is crafted from luxe leather…” Well, that may be relative to Cole Haan (who isn’t exactly known for using luxurious materials.) So keep those expectations in check. But still, not bad for a pair of versatile court inspired sneakers which ships/returns for free. A few different color combinations to pick from, in case the all white(s) aren’t your thing.
Rhone Performance Piqué Polos – $71.99 ($108)
Spendy even on sale, but Rhone’s performance fabric polos are, frankly, terrific. Breathable/wicking/stretch infused pique fabric. Hidden button down collar keeps the points in line and looks great when worn under a sportcoat. Just navy or “lichen green.” Still a deal, as when Rhone puts their own stuff on sale, it’s often FINAL sale. Yet these ship/return for free.
Tom Ford Kevyn 52mm Square Sunglasses – $246.99 ($370)
Some people are more than fine spending big money on eyewear. Sunglasses and eyeglasses are, afterall, something you wear with just about everything else in your wardrobe. And then there’s those of us who would be rendered a jabbering, incoherent, face-palming mess if we dropped a pair of shades this wildly expensive on a gritty sidewalk, or sat on them in the back of a cab, or left them in our seatback pocket on a flight. A quarter grand of specs ain’t something one wants to leave in the back of an uber after a spirited day out at the pub.
Made in Italy TBNY Dale Cap Toe Oxford – $299.99 ($450)
A little lower profile than the Goodyear Welted Allen Edmonds Carlyle. Just as dressy. Conservative cap toe. Made in Italy.
Herschel Novel Recycled Nylon Duffle Bag – $72.99 ($110)
A bestseller. Not gigantic (20″W x 12″H x 9″D = 2160 cubic inches.) Gym or weekender sized. Dedicated shoe compartment. Well, you don’t have to put shoes in there. You could put other things. Like… burritos? Always good to have a couple spare burritos on hand.
Bonobos Stretch Washed Chino 2.0 in Faded Black or Olive – $65.99 ($99)
The 2.0 is the higher stretch version of their hugely popular original washed chinos. And they’re almost always excluded from sales/promos direct through Bonobos. Just those two colors though. And only on sale in what appears to be their slim fit. No athletic fit or any of their other fits are involved.
Bagatelle Genuine Suede Harrington Jacket – $256.99 ($389)
Leather and suede jackets can get very, very expensive. So this is downright affordable with the sale. Chocolate brown (shown above) or bottle-green goatskin suede.
Nike Air Force 1 ’07 Sneakers – $69.99 ($115)
Icons in a goes-with-everything Summit White Strata Grey color scheme.
TWO 8.5 fl oz Jack Black Double-Duty Face Moisturizer w/ SPF 20 – $65 ($100 Value)
Stuff goes for $50 per bottle on Amazon! But this contains two 8.5 fl oz bottles of Jack Black’s bestselling face moisturizer with SPF. Dead of summer isn’t a bad time to restock on that stuff. If you’re fair skinned or prefer something with a higher SPF, try CeraVe’s AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion with SPF 50. Big fan of that stuff.
Timex World Time Reissue Leather Strap Watch, 39mm – $132.99 ($199)
Almost no watches in this year’s Nordstrom Anniversary sale. But this recent reissue looks the business (or business… travel?) And it’s 33% off, which is more than the standard discounts at Timex (usually 20% – 25% off.) Free shipping/returns helps too.
Nordstrom Round Faux Leather Watch Box – $15.99 ($25)
Again, not a lot of watches in the sale, but they’ve got watch “luggage.” Bit of an impulse-buy pick. Free shipping (& returns) may be enough to get some of us to say “oh why not.”
ECCO Metropole Prague Chukka Boot – $159.99 ($240)
Shoe snobs may cast a side eye at ECCO shoes and boots, but they sure are comfortable. They’ll get you around when you need to get around… like, all day. Multiple days in a row.
Nordstrom Tarek Leather Belt – $58.99 ($79)
Need a belt? Need a belts? Belts. They have belts. These belts. Ships/returns free. Three colors.
Hunter Bell Quilted Jacket – $132.99 ($199)
Navy, black, or the gray shown above. We’ve got a couple months before quilted jackets become relevant, but here we are. That’s what a lot of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is (putting next season’s new arrivals on sale early.)
Veja Made in Brazil Campo Sneaker – $114.99 ($175)
It’s white sneaker season, and Veja is one of those brands that can impress while keeping their prices reasonable. Nordstrom’s free shipping/free returns no minimum policy really helps here too, as many may be unfamiliar with the brand.
Made in Canada Jack Victor Patrick Flat Front Stretch Wool Dress Pants – $185.99 ($278)
Spendy, but they seem to get a lot right. Made in Canada from a 98% wool / 2% stretch blend. Lots of colors. Hems come unfinished, so you’ll have to have those finished by a tailor (lots of dry-cleaning places do simple tailoring like hemming.)
Made in Spain Magnanni Magico Loafers – $299.99 ($450)
Wow those look… rich. No bits, no buckles… just class and elegant shape. Take an otherwise basic blue or gray suit, lose the tie, put in a pocket square with some pattern, pick these over standard lace-ups, and you’re ready for a schmancy cocktail hour, stylish wedding reception, or just looking good. Real good.
BOSS Made in Italy Elloy Leather Belts – $58.99 ($89)
Simple. Dark brown or black. Made in Italy.
Allen Edmonds Liverpool Chelsea Boots – $349 ($550)
Boots season isn’t here yet, but picking up a pair of first quality Liverpools for $200 off is always in season. Sleek but still professional. Really nice leather. Available in black or the dark chili shown above, which goes with all sorts of blue and gray and earthtone pants/suits/etc.
“BOSS Huge” (?) Solid Wool Suits – $598.99 ($895)
“Huge?” Like, big huge? “Considered a Slim fit; fitted through the chest, armholes and sides.” WTF. Up is down, Huge is slim… nothing makes sense anymore.
Gordon Rush Cartwright Penny Loafer – $169.99 ($250)
Seasonal shade of suede that’ll still look smart when we eventually move towards fall.
SAXX Boxer Briefs (price varies by style)
- 3-Pack Daytripper 93% polyester, 7% spandex Boxer Briefs – $44.99 ($69)
- 3-Pack Vibe 95% viscose / 5% elastane Xtra Super Soft Boxer Briefs – $59.99 ($92)
“Ball Pouch” equipped. A bunch of different fabrics. Lots of guys swear by their SAXX underwear. So, here they be. And it’s super nice they ship for free no minimum, as it’s Nordstrom.
Blake McKay Dixon Chukkas – $129.99 ($195)
Not bad looking for $130. The dark brown suede looks particularly good. Lug sole for traction but not overly aggressive or toothy.
Faherty Slub Cotton Hoodies – $64.99 ($98)
Navy or white. A little bit sleeker thanks to no pocket up front on the gut of the sweatshirt. Slub fabric gives it a little texture and keeps it breezy.
Kiehl’s Facial Fuel Energizing Face Wash 33.8 fl. oz – $45 ($69)
Your face deserves better than cheap bar soap, which can dry you out big time. Using a bestselling facewash like Kiehl’s is the way to go.
Nordstrom Camden Bit Driving Loafer – $69.99 ($99.95)
Cheap driving loafers. “Bit” detail keeps the shine to a minimum thanks to the darker gray metal.
100% Cotton Trim Fit Herringbone Dress Shirts – $65.99 ($99.50)
All cotton. Not some performance blend. Herringbone pattern for a bit of visual texture. Sold in neck and sleeve sizes (15.5/32-33, etc.) which is far more precise than the ballpark “Alpha” sizes of S/M/L etc. which too many other brands use for their dress shirts these days.
Gordon Rush Blake Stitched Italian Leather Chukkas – $194.99 ($290)
Great shape. Sleek without being pointy. Much dressier than a desert boot, but not so dressy that you can’t wear them casually. Yes that is the “espresso” color shown above. Proof can be seen at the Gordon Rush website where they’re stuck to full price.
Nordstrom Leather Jackets – $229.99 ($349)
Black or brown. As basic looking as a leather jacket gets. So much so you almost expect it to star in one of those Progressive Insurance “Homeowners becoming their parents” commercials. But the price is relatively very low for a leather jacket. And it’s all about what you surround it with… or don’t.
BOSS Genius Slim Fit Wool Suit Pants – $129.99 ($199)
Six colors to pick from. You’ll need to get them hemmed afterward, which is pretty standard for dress trousers. Nice price considering how expensive wool dress pants have gotten in the last couple of years.
Gordon Rush Adams Cap Toe Oxford – $179.99 ($270)
More dress shoes. Cap toe true-oxfords this time. Italian leather uppers. Brown or black.
Barbour Bowden Quilted Nylon Jacket – $229.99 ($350)
Is it even a big Nordstrom sale without a Barbour Quilted jacket going on sale? Here’s this year’s required option. And yes, one has to acknowledge how BLAZING HOT this summer has been, so thinking fall/winter outerwear right now isn’t gonna land quite right inside some of our brains. But a guy can dream. The black option with those bits of brown trim/aged bronze looking hardware looks particularly good.
Barbour Barlow Gilet Vest – $146.99 ($220)
And now something that could get used sooner than the jacket. That first fall chill in the air will be here before you know it. Please. Let it be so. (So says a total stereotypical Mr. Fall Man who just doesn’t like summer all that much.)
Allen Edmonds Como Penny Loafers – $299.99 ($450)
Made in Italy with traditional Bologna construction. Lotta loafer season left in this particular, uh, season. That dark, bitter chocolate option at the bottom would also look great with jeans and flannel trousers in the fall.
Nordstrom Crosshatch Wool & Linen Suit – $366.99 ($549)
If such a thing as a two-and-a-half-season suit (spring/summer/early fall) can exist… then this be it. 96% virgin wool, 4% linen. Jacket is just partially lined to help out with ventilation during the hot months.
Made in Italy Bruno Magli Suede Chukkas – $279.99 ($425)
This sale is a relentless chukka-rama (… not to be confused with a certain regional buffet chain few may be familiar with.)
Frye Paul Lite Chukka Boot – $139.99 ($188)
SWEET SASSY MOLASSY IT’S ALL YOU CAN EAT FOR YOUR FEET.
Made in Italy TBNY Davin Suede Chukka Boot – $289.99 ($425)

(*hides behind bushes and softly whispers*)…….and boom goes the dynamite.
Bonobos Weekday Warrior Dress Pants – $78.99 ($119)
Machine washable, stretch cotton, smart & sharp dress pants. Four select colors. Only available in what appears to be their slim fit, and none of the other fit templates Bonobos offers.
Hart Schaffner Marx Colfax Waterproof Raincoat – $264.99 ($395)
For those looking forward to fall. Stand collar on these. Also described as being “Lined, with synthetic fill,” so they might be lightly insulated.
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale runs through Sunday August 9th. But if past is prologue, some of this stuff may sell out in a hurry. Prices really do go back up after August 9th.
