Leave it to the Nordstrom Memorial Day sale to get us all amped up for the long weekend ahead. While everyone else is excited about taking a little vacation or getting a break from those endless Zooms, we’re pumped about all the epic deals going down right now, especially when it involves blazing-hot menswear (and more than a few can’t-miss grooming and home steals). These big department store events can be pretty hit or miss, but let us tell you: the Nordstrom Memorial Day sale is hit after hit after hit. We’re talking savings on some of the hottest, most talked-about brands in the biz—think Wales Bonner and Connor McKnight—alongside stalwarts like Nike and Carhartt WIP. A ton of these markdowns are super steep (like, up to 60% off steep) and the deals won’t last forever. So keep scrolling to scope out our favorite picks right here, right now.
