Thought you had to wait until Black Friday to start saving money on the latest fashions? Think again. Nordstrom Rack is ahead of the curve and just dropped their Clear the Rack sale, which is the perfect excuse to start blowing through your Black Friday budget, only sooner.
Similar to other Clear the Rack sales (the last one was in July and ran in tandem with the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale), things are already starting to sell out, since this event is basically a massive clearance sale, only with better brands. From now until Monday, November 11, you can shop and save an extra 25% off on several high-end brands, from Sam Edelman, Madewell, Caslon, Halogen, and more.

It's enough to give even the most seasoned deals hunter a case of shopping-related whiplash. Feeling overwhelmed by the sale already? Here's everything you need to know on how to snag the best stuff and save.
What is the Clear the Rack sale?
This is a semi-annual sale hosted by Nordstrom Rack that allows you to get huge savings on tons of designer brands, even if you're not a Nordy Club member. The sale lasts until November 11 and gives shoppers the chance to save an extra 25% on more than 14,000 already discounted clearance styles. In some instances, you could get up to 70% off select apparel and accessories.
All orders over $49 also qualify for free shipping, and because it's the holidays, Nordstrom Rack is extending their return policy. That means anything purchased from October 30 to December 17 is eligible for return until January 31, 2020.
If you do happen to be a Nordy Club member, you are in for some extra perks, too. From now through November 11, if you spend $100, you can get $20 in bonus notes. If you spend $200, you can get $40 and if you spend $300, you can get $75 back. This offer is good whether you shop in stores or online at Nordstrom Rack and HauteLook.
What can you buy during the sale?
Here's the thing about Clear the Rack—if you like something, you absolutely shouldn't put off buying it, especially online. Because of how massive the discounts are, things tend to sell out ASAP during this sale, especially from hot brands like Free People, Topshop, ASTR the Label, Champion, and more.
There are tons of items to choose from, and part of the excitement of this sale is combing through each brand page to see what you can grab up in time. It's one of the most intense sales we cover here, and since it doesn't come around very often (just a couple times each year), it really is a terrific opportunity to refresh your wardrobe, so definitely don't sleep on this sales event if you can help it.
