Nothing brings me joy quite like summer fashion: it’s vibrant, full of life and injects an instant dose of cheer into daily living. So, when I saw that Nordstrom released a slew of new summer fashion arrivals — 13,000 to be exact — my jaw dropped.
Everything from jelly flats and starfish necklaces to frilly dresses and linen pants are up for grabs, turning it into a go-to shopping destination for trips and warm-weather dressing. However, sifting through countless pages of products can be overwhelming — so I did the heavy lifting for you, nailing down the 17 tops, bottoms, shoes and accessories actually worthy of your closet.
17 Nordstrom New Summer Arrivals That Are Worth It
Tops

Bottoms
4. Wear-Everywhere Pants: Linen-blend pants are always a good idea — much like these M&S bottoms. A comfortable drawstring waistband mimics the comfort of sweatpants, but the chic look makes them perfect for dressing up or down.
