Summer dressing hits different — breezy dresses, crisp white tops, and nautical-inspired staples, from poplin button-downs to boat shoes (à la the trending fisherman aesthetic), are simply everything. Add in this season’s sandal lineup (Flip-flops! Slides! Kitten heels!) and a color palette spanning butter yellow to powder pink — plus cheery prints like polka dots and stripes — and it’s officially time to refresh the rotation.
Luckily, Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale is here, with up to 60% off, just in time to revamp your summer wardrobe. As a fashion editor, I’m always combing through it for the best finds — timeless staples, trend-forward styles, and everything in between. Right now, I’m stocking up on the kind of pieces that make summer dressing feel easy: cute dress-and-sneaker combos, playful bubble hems, airy raffia accessories, fun sunglasses, and standout swim. And yes, I’m still making room for loungewear — just the kind that can handle a heat wave and feel perfectly effortless during summer travel.
Click through for 39 of the best summer-ready finds from Nordstrom’s sale section — all editor-approved and all worth scooping up before they’re gone.
