Summer is here, and the best pieces to shop for the season have landed at retailers. If you’re looking for the best items to add to your cart for the warm-weather season, I’ve curated an edit of some of the coolest pieces to know about right now. Better yet, I went on a deep dive at Nordstrom to round them all up in one place for easy shopping. For summer, my shopping mode revolves around a foundation of elevated and sophisticated pieces with some trend-forward items sprinkled in the mix for good measure.
Ahead, see which pieces made the cut. My edit includes everything from maxi hemlines and directional investment accessories to stealth matching sets and pieces primed for upcoming events on the summer calendar. The one thing they all have in common? I want to add all of them to my closet asap. Here are the best Nordstrom summer shopping finds, according to this editor.
