The Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale is here again, just in time to update your golf wardrobe
Golf season is in full swing and summer is (almost) officially here. As you bring out your warm-weather clothes and finally venture out of the house without a jacket, you're probably realizing you need an apparel refresh, stat. It might be hard, but take a look at your closet and toss any stained, faded, torn or out-of-date pieces. And stop holding on to those dingy shirts because of sentimental value or how good they once looked. If it doesn't fit, get rid of it.
Now that you've made room, it's time for the upgrade. We culled through the Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale to help you find some replacements. With discounts up to 40 percent, you'll be able to revamp your wardrobe without emptying your wallet. Just keep in mind, the sale ends Monday, June 3, so don't procrastinate more than you already have.
