If, like most retirees, you’re living on a fixed income, shopping for new designer apparel can be a luxury that’s just not financially feasible. Even shopping nondesigner labels at, say, Target or Old Navy, can rack up a hefty bill at checkout.
That said, there are ways to get hotly hyped designer brands for “cheap” — and we’re not talking about thrifting (though that’s a great way!); we’re talking about shopping at Nordstrom Rack, the little sister of Nordstrom, where you can find droves of trendy designer pieces on mega sale. Honestly, these discounts can be downright astonishing, particularly if you’re familiar with the luxury brands boasting them.
GOBankingRates rounded up six items retirees should seriously think about buying before spring, if they’re looking to celebrate the season in style.
Women’s Metallic Wide-Leg Jumpsuit by Steve Madden
If you have an event to attend where something particularly upscale and elegant is called for — and a dress just isn’t what you’re in the mood for — you’ll want to check out this metallic wide-leg jumpsuit by Steve Madden, available in dark coppery gold. It brings a little bit of edge to the evening without going full on rock ‘n’ roll. It’s on sale at Nordstrom Rack for $24.98, marked down from $99. Even casual jumpsuits go for way more than this on the Steve Madden site.
Women’s Pinstripe Wide-Leg Pants by Vince Camuto
You can find wide-leg pants for sale on the Vince Camuto website for $29.97, marked down from $119. But deals get way better at Nordstrom Rack, which currently has these pinstripe wide-leg pants by Vince Camuto on sale for $19.99, marked down from $109.
Men’s Plaid Linen Button-Up Shirt by Tommy Bahama
Few brands welcome spring and summer as vividly as Tommy Bahama, whose apparel screams “casual yet classy beach experience.” On the Tommy Bahama website, a men’s plaid linen button-up shirt goes for $138. At Nordstrom Rack, this plaid linen button-up shirt by Tommy Bahama, which is exceedingly similar, is on sale for as low as $19.99 (depending on the color), marked down from $128.
Men’s Soft Shell Water Resistant Jacket by Columbia
Though spring ushers in warmer weather, it can still get nippy at night, and those famous April showers spare few regions. Stay warm — but not winter warm — in this soft shell water resistant jacket by Columbia, which is on sale at Nordstrom Rack for as low as $32.48 (depending on the color), marked down from $99. Even on sale, on the Columbia website, jackets like this go for at least $54.
Men’s Velour Joggers by Paige
Talk about feeling luxurious while lounging around the house or going about mundane errands. These velour joggers by Paige in navy blue are both gorgeous and clearly comfortable. At Nordstrom Rack, they’re marked down from $229 to $43.98, making for savings of 80%. You’d easily drop $200 on pants like these if shopping on the Paige website.
Women’s Packable Floppy Hat by BCBG
Looking for the perfect hat that you can bring with you on your spring getaway? Consider this packable downbrim floppy hat by BCBG. It comes in black or white and is on sale at Nordstrom Rack for $19.97, marked down from $48. Even on Amazon, you’ll pay more for hats like this by BCBG.
