best Nordstrom Sale accessories
It’s hard to pick a favorite category from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale… It’s the biggest sale of the year, the only one where NEW fall and winter merchandise goes on sale before the season even starts. The one where you can score big savings on designer, high-quality brands. And after 11 years of covering this sale, I always have SO much fun choosing my top picks from every category! But the one that really lights me up? It has to be ACCESSORIES!
Why, you ask? Because there’s no sizes to consider, there are always beautiful designs and high-quality pieces that you’ll be able to use for years and years and years. And because the accessories really are the finishing touches, the outfit makers, that you don’t want to skip past! Give me a chic, neutral handbag and I feel like I can do anything! So…let’s get right to it!
Here’s the best of the best accessories in the 2025 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Add these to your wishlist, and you’ll be ready to shop as soon as your day opens!

sunglasses
Sunglasses have a hold on me—no shame in admitting it. I’m drawn to them all, oversized, modern, statement sunnies. They don’t just finish a look—they transform it. There’s something about slipping on a bold pair of sunglasses that instantly boosts your confidence.
If you peeked into my accessories drawer, you’d quickly see… I don’t believe in having just one pair. But as much as I love them, sunglasses are one item I rarely buy full price. That’s why the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is my absolute favorite time to stock up.
The NSale always has amazing deals on designer sunglasses, and I’ve linked all my top picks for you below. This pair is at the very top of my wishlist!
handbags
The next accessory you’ll want to keep an eye on in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is definitely handbags. There’s some really stunning, high-quality bags that I’m so excited to share with you (all my picks below)!
I actually picked up the Madewell Bucket Tote (shown above) last year, and it quickly became a favorite. It’s sleek, lightweight, and surprisingly roomy. The soft, flexible leather feels luxe—far more expensive than the price tag suggests—and it’s incredibly versatile for day-to-day wear.
This year, they’ve introduced a gorgeous Warm Cinnamon shade that works beautifully year-round. I’m also seeing a strong trend toward rich chocolate browns, warm camel tones, navy blues, and sculptural shapes that add instant polish to any outfit. Check out all of my favorites below!
jewelry + watches
I always love looking at the fine jewelry included in the sale every year. This necklace above is not included in the Anniversary Sale, but happens to be on sale right now here, so I wanted to share it again! There’s a good selection of pretty layered necklaces, beautiful gold rings that I have my eye on, and some stunning watches too. Scroll through all of my favorite jewelry and watching below, and add them to your wish list now.
PRO TIP: Add things to your wishlist now to stay organized and to get notified of restocks once the sale begins! Things go out of stock quickly, and you won’t be able to find them by searching if they are currently sold out. You can find them with any of our links, or through your wishlist, and then set up restock alerts.
scarves + belts
Our last accessories on the list…scarves and belts! Confession time…I am a little disappointed that there’s no AllSaints scarves in the sale this year. It’s been in the sale for a few years now and it’s always gorgeous (shown above on the right).
But let’s look at what is in this years sale! There’s a really nice lightweight cashmere plaid scarf by Nordstrom, a few solid cashmere options, and a few nice square silk scarves that just got added to the sale too! Check them all out below.
We’re not seeing a ton of belts this year, but there are a few I wanted to highlight. I particularly love, and will be ordering, the Kurt Geiger black belt with brass detailing. There’s a super versatile reversible black/brown Kate Spade belt, a suede Madewell belt, and a studded AllSaints belt that are all great prices and ones I think you’ll love. All linked for you to shop below!
I’ll be back to update this post as I receive my order and try on new items. And of course, stay tuned for more Nordstrom Anniversary Sale posts as the sale begins!
My goal really is to help you zero in on the best pieces in this sale, so you can shop with intention, feel confident in your choices, and hopefully have a little fun along the way!
One final reminder: just because it’s on sale doesn’t mean it belongs in your closet. Before you click “add to cart,” ask yourself:
Do I truly love this? Would I still want it at full price? Or am I just tempted by the discount?
Shopping with purpose ensures you’re building a wardrobe you love—and actually wear.
