Steals of the week — August 10, 2026

August 10, 2026

The Anniversary Sale closed last night, and with it the one week a year Nordstrom marks down new-season stock instead of leftovers. That leaves an awkward fortnight: summer is being cleared out at 60–70% off, fall is arriving at full price, and not much in between deserves your money. Four sales made the cut this week — three to act on and one to sit on. A fifth, a widely reported Abercrombie denim event, is not here: we could not find it on Abercrombie’s own promotions page, and we do not print a code we cannot stand behind. None of these links earn us anything; they are just the best of what is live right now.

J.Crew

Extra 60% off

Extra 60% off final sale — ends tonight

Code FLASHSALE, clearance only; 48-hour sale ending Monday, August 10. Final sale — no returns or exchanges

Our take

The 60% comes off the already-reduced clearance price, so the number on the tag is not the number you pay — check the cart before deciding anything. Final sale is the catch: this is a sale for a cut you already own in another color, not for experimenting.

Madewell

30% off

30% off wear-now styles

Code REFRESH on select wear-now styles, through August 11 at 2:59am ET. Teachers and students get 20% with ID verification through August 14

Our take

Thirty percent is a smaller number than the clearance racks are showing this week, and that is the point — it applies to pieces that will still be in rotation in October rather than to the last of the linen. If you qualify for the student or teacher discount, compare the two before you check out; they are separate offers.

Nordstrom Rack

Up to 90% off

Clearance — where the Anniversary Sale lands next

Clearance section, refreshed daily; some items carry a Clear the Rack badge, so check the cart price before assuming the tag is the final one

Our take

This is the interesting part of the calendar. Anniversary Sale returns and unsold stock filter down to the Rack over the weeks after the sale closes, so this section gets better through late August rather than worse. The deepest markdowns on the page today run past 85%, but they are the odd sizes — the useful habit here is a two-minute look every few days rather than one long browse.

Everlane

Up to 70% off

Sale section — the one to wait on

The permanent sale section; the deeper end-of-summer markdowns are expected in late August

Our take

We are including this one to tell you not to buy yet. Everlane keeps a sale section up year-round, but their end-of-summer cut lands in the last week or two of August and goes deeper than anything on the site today. Unless the piece you want is down to its last size, bookmark it.
