29 Anti-Trend Summer Nordstrom Finds I'm Fully Losing It Over

The sale we've all been waiting for, the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale, is finally here, and per usual, I did a massive deep dive. I've recently been on the hunt for some elevated basics, or "anti-trend" pieces, to fill in the gaps in my summer 2023 wardrobe. Naturally, Nordstrom's sale selection had exactly what I was looking for and then some. My excitement is through the roof because I no longer need to spend beyond my means to find the perfect seasonal wardrobe. Instead, I found everything on sale.
If you're into the quiet-luxury phenomenon that's circulating right now, this assortment of products will suit you as well. From the perfect summer jeans to the kinds of sandals you'll be able to wear with everything, you're about to be just as obsessed with the 29 pieces below as I am.
I've never met a pair of cat-eye sunglasses I didn't like.
Throw these on over a simple black bikini for a timeless and easy look.
Bold earrings are the best way to elevate a simple white tank or tee.
