Women Are Swapping Their Boring Water For This Ice Pop Electrolyte Mix!
Not sure where you are, but it’s been above 95 degrees almost every day here, and I’ve been fantasizing about stepping outside in a swimsuit and cover-up. (This fantasy got even more intense after my AC briefly short-circuited and I spent an afternoon panic-calling repair companies.)
But life doesn’t pause just because it’s hot out, and getting dressed in the summer—as fun as it can be—also comes with its own special kind of challenges. Between the sweat, the sunscreen, and the general reluctance to wear anything that clings to your skin, summer style is a whole different ball game. Thankfully, a cute, easy outfit is still very much possible, even when it’s sweltering out. It just means leaning into pieces that look put-together without requiring much actual effort.
Keep scrolling for our favorite go-to summer pieces from Nordstrom that are as stylish as they are simple to throw on.
All in Favor Floral Spaghetti Strap Midi Dress ($44.25)
Here’s a styling secret for you: this might be the most versatile dress in your closet (seriously, though).
This Floral Spaghetti Strap Midi Dress works for a lunch date, a wedding guest look, or a random Tuesday that just needs a little bit of extra effort. The painterly floral print and sweet tie-neck detail make it pretty, and the adjustable straps make it comfortable. Plus, it’s a steal for under $50!
Thread & Supply Eda Contrast Trim Tank ($24)
This tank might actually do the most work in your closet. It takes a slim, ribbed racerback silhouette and adds a thick contrast trim for a little sporty edge, all in a soft cotton-modal blend.
You can either wear it solo or layer it under a jacket (for those nights it’s actually not a million degrees out)—but however you style it, it’s well worth $24.
Florence by Mills Boyfriend Graphic T-Shirt ($19.46 – $22.46)
Millie Bobby Brown’s Florence by Mills line knows exactly what “boyfriend fit” means, and I’m suspicious she may have borrowed this piece straight from her husband’s closet! It’s definitely working (for her, and probably all of us).
The boxy tee comes in soft, pure cotton with dropped shoulders for an easy, relaxed fit, dressed up with a trio of roses on front. Style it with cutoffs for a casual outing, or even go slightly unexpected with a flowy maxi skirt for a boho spin.
Petal & Pup Ilona Stripe Knit Tank & Shorts Set ($66.75)
Some mornings, I feel like getting dressed is hard. Good thing that’s exactly what a great matching set is for!
Petal & Pup’s Ilona Stripe Knit Tank & Shorts Set comes in breathable cotton with earthy, boho stripes, so getting dressed is as simple as putting on both pieces and walking out the door. If you need me, you can find me wearing this and lounging in the park until further notice.
H&M Vest ($22.99)
Blazers are hot in every sense of the word this time of year, so this button-front vest is a smarter and cooler alternative.
H&M’s sleeveless option is giving office: it has all the polish of a structured layer (round neckline, buttons down the front), without the sleeves trapping in heat. I’d probably wear it solo, although you can also wear it over a simple tee for an unexpected layering look. At $23, it’s a steal!
Treasure & Bond Roll Crewneck Boxy Long Sleeve Cotton Blend Top ($32.99)
Summer evenings don’t stay hot forever, and this is a great piece for that in-between window when the sun goes down and you suddenly want sleeves again. The lightweight cotton-blend features a boxy, undone fit that’s still breathable, so you get coverage without overheating.
It’s a chic, laid-back option that keeps you prepared for whenever the temperature changes its mind.
These pieces will help do the hard work for you, so you can spend less time getting dressed and more time enjoying the summer.
