As a fashion editor who covers Nordstrom regularly and peruses its site practically every single day, I’ve come to know the ins and outs of what brands, basics, and trend-forward pieces are worth snapping up from the trusty retailer. And since summer is in full swing, I already have my sights set on a number of stylish warm-weather pieces on its site—and daydreaming of all the cool ways to wear them.

Whether you’re looking for a cool denim shorts outfit or simple summer dress and sandals formula, take a peek below for plenty of inspo.
