Ok, Nordstrom! The beloved multi-brand retailer has been on a roll with their sales recently, and now the legendary Half-Yearly Sale has officially arrived. If you haven’t checked it out yet, I highly recommend you do so, as avid Nordstrom shoppers know this bi-annual sale is not to be missed. Not only are there major discounts on designer items, but there is also a trove of incredible, affordable finds included in the sale.
I had already done a deep dive into the sale (for work purposes, of course), so when my friend texted me asking what she should use her $200 holiday gift card on, I was full of ideas. From sleek leather knee-high boots to gorgeous faux fur trimmed coats and cozy cashmere crewnecks, there are plenty of chic wardrobe staples for her to choose from. Below, I’m highlighting the 31 affordable fashion items I recommended from the final Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale of 2025.
