The Difference Between Dragging Through Your Day And Feeling Great On Your Feet? These Arch Support Insoles

I’m headed off to my brother’s wedding over Memorial Day weekend, which means my brain is currently occupied with bridesmaid dresses, wedding rings, and flower bouquets.

But honestly, Memorial Day weekend always feels like the unofficial start of summer to me, so the second I started planning wedding outfits, I also started thinking ahead to everything else coming up this season. Whether it’s beach trips, BBQs with friends, outdoor brunches, hikes, weddings, date nights, or just soaking up the sunshine somewhere cute, this time of year always makes me want to give my wardrobe a little refresh.

If you feel the same, the good news is Nordstrom’s sale section is really delivering right now. Some of our favorite brands are offering major discounts on summer-ready fashion finds, from easy sundresses and chic swimsuits to elevated basics you’ll end up wearing on repeat for the next few months.

Naturally, we rounded up some of the best Nordstrom Memorial Day sale finds worth adding to your cart ASAP. Keep scrolling for the stylish deals we’re most excited about right now!

Anne Cole Women’s Textured Classic Square Neck One Piece Swimsuit ($58.50)

I’m also going to my sister’s bachelorette later this summer, so I’ve been on the hunt for a flattering suit that offers a bit more coverage (without looking super sporty or boring).

This Anne Cole one-piece definitely fits the bill. The square neckline feels so chic and elevated, while the shirred sides add a little extra shaping and support. As if I needed another excuse to add it to cart, it’s also 25% off right now.

Caslon® Chambray Button-Up Shirt ($53.26)

Anybody else think an oversized chambray button-up is always a good choice for summer? This Caslon version looks so lightweight and breezy, and I can already picture throwing it on over a swimsuit after a pool day or pairing it with denim shorts for a casual backyard BBQ.

Because the fabric has that soft, drapey feel, it looks especially comfy for hot weather. And right now, it can be yours for 33% off.

ASTR the Label Drop Waist Stretch Cotton Midi Skirt ($49.50 – $54.45)

A lightweight midi skirt you won’t immediately sweat through in summer? Say less. This style by ASTR the label feels easy-breezy, and the etched side buttons give it that extra little something that makes the whole look feel more intentional.

It’ll work with everything from a simple tank and sandals to a more dressed-up dinner look on vacation. At 50% off, it’s a great sale find that you’ll probably end up wearing all summer long.

ZOE AND CLAIRE Mixed Media Pointelle Stitch Dress ($39)

White dresses like this one just scream summer to me. The pointelle stitching gives the top a soft crochet-inspired look, and the flowy gathered skirt keeps everything airy and easy to wear on hot days.

It also looks way more expensive than it actually is (just $39!).

ELLE Roamer 24L Vegan Leather Weekender Duffel Bag ($69.99)

I’m often on the go, which means weekender bags are always on my radar. This one is a great in-between size, and it’s ideal for day trips, or using as a carry-on for flights. Even better, the minimalist design makes it look way more elevated than your average duffel situation.

Even if you’re someone who’s always throwing things in your bag at the last minute (me), this leather weekender bag will make you feel more put together.

Elan Wrap Maxi Cover-Up Dress ($34 – $68)

Wrap maxi dresses are timeless because they genuinely work on every body type. I actually learned that in high school when my weight was fluctuating, and I remember wrap styles always being the most flattering and easy to wear.

This Elan version is great for beach or pool days, thanks to the breezy surplice neckline, side slit, and lightweight fabric that moves with you. At 50% off, it’s an easy yes.

Caslon® Easy Wide Leg Linen Pants ($49.99)

Every girl’s closet needs a pair of linen pants. Are they easy? Check. Stylish? Absolutely. And nearly 40% off? You betcha!

I could live in these Caslon wide-leg pants all summer long. The elastic drawstring waist is super comfortable, and the full-length wide-leg silhouette is chic without trying too hard.

Vionic Etna Crossover Slide Sandal ($69.90)

My current sandals are hanging on by a thread, and these Vionic Etna Crossover Slide Sandals are calling my name. I love how the crossover strap feels stylish but still super wearable, and that podiatrist-developed footbed means actual comfort and support for your feet. *Adds to cart immediately.*

Ray-Ban 54mm Gradient Square Sunglasses ($103.50)

Honestly, just getting a pair of Ray-Bans for 50% off is a great deal! These are a true summer staple. The sleek metal frames and gradient lenses give them an elevated feel that works for everything from beach days to brunch to running errands.

Ettika Majestic Freshwater Pearl Drop Earrings ($42)

I love a good “wear with everything” kind of earring, and this pair basically pays for itself because you’ll wear them so often. The mix of freshwater pearls and sparkling stones is both classic and glam.

$42 is a steal for these earrings—especially since you can dress them up for dinners or just throw them on with a white tee and jeans to elevate the whole look.

All in all, these Nordstrom sale finds are basically summer dressing made simple. Happy Memorial Day!
