It’s Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: 40 Summer Fashion Finds

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 Anniversary sale is running through August 3, just in time to revamp your summer wardrobe and get you excited about fall. 

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 swimsuits. 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. Plus summer wedding guest dresses, breezy (and easy) matching sets, and Cowboy Cartner-ready extras.
