I Made a List of the Chicest Tanks, Shorts, and Flats at Nordstrom—Enjoy
If you were to list your true summer staples, there’s a strong chance that tanks, shorts, and flats (especially flat sandals) would make the top spots. It’s certainly not surprising given that the pieces in this group are all easy in nature, functional for warmer weather, and simply chic. Sure, you may have a few solid options already in your offering, but if you’re looking for a refresh, I’m here to bring you an edit of new styles.
Below you’ll uncover the chicest tanks, shorts, and flats that I recently found at Nordstrom specifically. On the tank front, there’s everything from a classic ribbed style to a chic one-shoulder find. Shorts? There are certainly denim iterations, as well as cool pull-on styles. As for flats, you’ll notice strappy sandals and of-the-moment ballet silhouettes. Keep scrolling for more.
