Is it really even summer if you haven’t bought a new dress yet? It’s been a weird year, but if there’s one constant we can count on, it’s that summer heat. You may not have had a chance to run to your favorite store this year and stock up on new dresses, but don’t sweat it—Nordstrom Rack is running its Clear the Rack Sale, meaning you can get up to 25{a38ddb2ded6b05e28c8ae73a8db0e271c21f7193684bd9e4e28acae292f81d99} off on some of this season’s most adorable casual dresses.
Through July 26, you can save big on dresses from some of our favorite brands, such as Madewell, Sam Edelman and Abound. We’re digging the breezy frock selection, where you can save on wrap styles, floral favorites, slim-fitting beauties, and—thank goodness—lots of ruffles.
If you spot something you love, act fast. Inventory at the Clear the Rack Sale is limited, meaning when it runs out, it’s out.
Here are some of our favorite dresses you can buy from this savings event:
1. Classy-casual finds from Draper James
Reese Witherspoon’s Draper James line is known for its quality products (we were obsessed with the Draper James swimsuit line we tested). The Draper James pieces at Nordstrom Rack transition well from workday to after-work drinks. They’re classy enough to wear during Zoom calls, but casual enough to keep you cool (and stylish!) during the warm summer months.
If you’re into florals, this black V-neck find is the perfect little black dress you’ve been hunting for. It’s ideal for both virtual bridal showers and socially-distanced cocktails. During the Clear the Rack Sale, you can snag this beauty for $33.74, which is 78{a38ddb2ded6b05e28c8ae73a8db0e271c21f7193684bd9e4e28acae292f81d99} off its regular retail price of $150.

5. Cult-favorite dresses from Madewell
Madewell is one of our shopping team’s favorite brands. We love the brand’s jeans, sleepwear, and of course, dresses. The options from Madewell that are on sale during Clear the Rack are comfy, casual and classy, all of which are unsurprising coming from the top-qualit line.
