When shopping for new clothes and accessories, a few factors dictate my search. Quality, style, and of course, price. While I shop at a variety of places — from boutiques to department stores — I’ve found that I can consistently turn to Nordstrom Rack to find great wardrobe essentials.
As I said, quality, style, and price are important to me. And I love that I can find some tried-and-true brands at the Rack for a fraction of what I’d get them for at a regular Nordstrom or other higher-end stores.

As much as I love the thrill of the in-store hunt, it can get overwhelming. Luckily, the Nordstrom Rack website is loaded with significant deals on everything from loungewear to date night outfits to trendy bags.
How to Shop Nordstrom Rack
Below, I share some of my favorite brands and products from the retailer. But if you have a go-to brand you love, it’s super simple to find what you’re looking for!
All you have to do is head to the top of the page at nordstromrack.com and search for your favs in the search bar. If I know exactly what I’m trying to find — like a new pair of Cole Haan loafers — I can search for “Cole Haan Loafers” at the top of the page.
But I also find the search bar helpful if I’m looking for a new discovery. For example, if you have a wedding to attend in the near future (and you want a modest black dress), you can search for “Wedding guest dresses long black.” You’ll be surprised just how many options come up on the page!
So, do some exploring! You never know what you’ll find. Okay… on to my personal Nordstrom Rack picks!

My Favorite Nordstrom Rack Clothing Finds
When I say The Rack is chock-full of fashion finds, I mean it. From classic jeans to denim jackets to comfy pajamas, there isn’t a category you can’t find!
The first time I visited nordstromrack.com, I was surprised to see how many denim items they carry. Including my favorite brand of jeans!
Yes, I’m talking about NYDJ jeans. It’s a brand I’ve worn for years and continue to wear to this yea. I love these classic Barbara Boot Cut Jeans that can easily be dressed up or down.
If you’re looking for a style that’s a little more summery and casual, these NYDJ High-Waist Slim Boot Cut Jeans are a great choice. They’re also 63% off!
Another brand I always look for when browsing Nordstrom Rack is Halogen. They consistently make quality products that are pretty budget-friendly too. This Basic Striped Tank is a great layering piece.
Then there’s this Halogen Dolman Sleeve Shirt that features a v-neckline and a spandex-blend material. It comes in four beautiful colors but I love this vibrant blue!
Everyone needs some basic shirts in their wardrobe. And this Vince Crew Neck Shirt is just that! When I picked this up, I was shocked to see how soft it was. It’s also incredibly lightweight (without feeling cheap) — making it ideal for the warmer months.
This Tahari Ruffle Sleeveless Top is one of those shirts that can really elevate an outfit. But don’t think it’s just a dinner or date night piece! Easily pair it with classic white sneakers for a casual yet put-together look.
How adorable are these Palazzo Pants?? They’re also from Tahari (one of my go-to brands) and they’re machine washable. Not a fan of the pattern? They come in four other styles!
It’s no secret that I love my denim jackets. This Levi’s Trucker Denim Jacket features a classic silhouette in a summer-ready white.
Going for traditional? Take a closer look at this Paige Denim Jacket featuring light-wash denim… currently 59% off!
With the affordability of this Tranquility Shortie Pajama Set, I almost bought two sets. It’s ultra comfy and breathable enough for hot sleepers. It’s also one of those pajama sets you can wear around the house as a sort of loungewear look.
Accessories and Shoes
I can’t walk into Nordstrom Rack without browsing the shoes and accessories. With savings up to 89% off (yes, 89% off!), the deals are just too good to pass up.
I’m a huge fan of the Vince and Vince Camuto brands when it comes to clothing. I’m also a fan of the shoes. I have my eye on the Selaries Sandal that looks fairly comfortable for a heeled shoe. I like that it looks elevated but that it isn’t too over-the-top fancy.
Trying to find a practical shoe you can wear almost anywhere? I recommend this Vince Camuto Minndy Flat that is 55% off right now.
I don’t have any big tropical vacations planned anytime soon. But if I did, I’d add this Vince Camuto Panama Hat to my cart. Such a classic look!
One of the shoe brands I find myself shopping time and time again is Cole Haan. Between the quality and timeless styles, the brand is a no-brainer.
I recently discovered these ZeroGrand Stitchlite Sneakers that aren’t quite an athletic shoe, but also not a casual shoe. They’re described as a “hybrid” and I adore the stitching detail.
But if you are going for a casual sneaker, the Cole Haan Crosscourt Sneaker is one you can wear no matter the time of the year (and no matter the occasion).
Also from the brand are these Cole Haan Polarized Sunglasses that come in three colorways. Don’t wait… they’re a whopping 74% off for a limited time!
I shared a casual sneaker above, but if you are looking for an athletic style, take a look at the Brooks Catamount Running Shoe.
I own Brooks and love the arch support. They also hold up extremely well. The Brooks sneakers I show here have a lot of traction — meaning they’re ideal for long walks or anytime you might find yourself in rain. You’ll notice they’re also lightweight!
Need a new bag? You can’t go wrong with Kate Spade. I found this Cara Tote which embodies a classic design and a rich leather exterior. It’s super spacious and on sale for 58% off.
For the times you don’t want to carry around a big bag, try this Kate Spade Bi-Fold Wallet instead. It keeps your cards, coupons, and ID close by and doesn’t take up a lot of space.
I own a pair of Kate Spade sunglasses and love them. Mine are prescription, but I found these Gayla Sunglasses with beautiful tortoiseshell frames and metal details.
Home and More
When people think of Nordstrom Rack, they automatically think of clothing, shoes, and accessories. But did you know they also carry home items?
One of those home items is this Barefoot Dreams Cozychic Throw Blanket. You know me and my unwavering love for Barefoot Dreams. The products aren’t cheap, but they hold up through multiple washes and if you ask me, get comfier over time!
Luckily, you don’t have to break the bank to enjoy the dreamy coziness of the brand. So many items are on sale!
This Barefoot Dreams Travel Set is one of those products — now discounted by 59%! It includes socks, a scrunchie, an eye mask, and a carrying case.
Also on sale is this CozyChic Pashmina Wrap. Yes, it’s a clothing item… but it might as well be a blanket because it’s so comfy!
If you have pets, I encourage you to look at the Dyson V8 Animal Plus Vacuum. It’s still an investment, but an investment that will make cleaning a breeze.
I have my planner and my laptop so I don’t have much use for this Kate Spade Lemon Journal, but it’s just too adorable not to include! Great for journaling, writing out your schedule, or even jotting down your grocery list for the week.
Calling all cooks and bakers! This Staub Ceramic Baking Dish Set includes two rectangular dishes on sale for 61% off. Bringing them down to under $50 for the both of them!
After making your favorite dish, you can use these JoyJolt Food Storage Containers to keep leftovers nice and fresh. This 5-piece set comes with microwave- and dishwasher-safe dishes that seal airtight with lids.
I don’t use a steamer as much as I used to. But when I was regularly on air, a steamer close by was essential. If you’re on the lookout for a new steamer, you can get this True Tidy Handheld Steamer for under $30.
Whether you’re picking up some of my favorites or you’d like to do some browsing of your own, I hope you enjoyed reading this blog about all things Nordstrom Rack! I sure liked putting it together, and want to thank you for giving it a read!
From my home to yours,
Jill
