Clearance sales get a bad reputation. More often than not, they're made up of bottom-of-the-barrel items, and the markdowns you're most excited about are not available in your size. Nordstrom's summer clearance sale — going on now through June 28— isn’t host to your average, red-lined merchandise. The current pickings include brands, like Bonobos, Tumi, and New Balance, in a respectable range of sizes, to give you an idea.
The sale is site wide, which means you can save up to 40% on favorite men’s, women’s, and kids styles. There’s also a decent selection of discounted home goods up for grabs. Below, we've rounded up 13 items — like board shorts, luggage, and comfy chinos — to shop in preparation of your next long weekend.
