Im Due for a Summer Dress-Overhaul and Buying 8 Nordstrom Styles

I live in Maryland, where temperatures have been hitting 101 degrees for. While I’d prefer to stay at home, planted in front of the air conditioner, there are times I have to brave the heatwave. I avoid putting on fussy or clingy clothes and instead opt for pieces that are breathable, comfortable, and can easily be dressed up or down—i.e. the perfect summer dress. So, I took to Nordstrom to find eight breezy styles. The best part: They’re all on sale for under $100 during the retailer's Anniversary Sale.

8 Best Nordstrom Summer Dress Deals:

Masai Copenhagen Nali Ruffle Sleeve Dress

My mom is a T-shirt dress aficionado, and one of her favorites is Masai Copenhagen Nali Ruffle Sleeve Dress, calling it comfortable, lightweight, breathable, and easy to style. She’ll certainly be stocking up on her go-to summer dress while it’s on sale for a staggering 70 percent off. 

The short-sleeve T-shirt dress comes in black and red—and sizes XS through XL. It features a crew neckline, side pockets, ruffled sleeves, and a side slit that stops at the knee. The dress is made from a stretchy knit material that can be easily pulled over your head, a breezy silhouette that falls away from the body, and a length that hits at about mid-calf, depending on your height.

Free People Catalina Mixed-Media Minidress

I’ve been obsessed with the mixed-media dress trend. The last time I was in D.C., I saw many people wearing the style, and ever since, my friends and I have been looking for more pieces that mix knit and woven fabrics. So, stumbling across this Free People Catalina Mixed-Media Minidress for 35 percent off was a major win. 

It comes in orange, green, and white and sizes XS to XL. The length stops at about mid-thigh, depending on height, and both juxtaposing fabrics are made from 100 percent cotton. The upper half—a stretchy T-shirt-like knit material—has a classic crew neckline and pre-cuffed sleeves, while the bottom half is made from a crisp and breezy woven material, featuring lots of fullness and hidden pockets on both sides.

1.State V-Neck Satin Midi Dress

If you're looking for a high quality, versatile, and comfortable dress for the summer, look no further than 1.State's V-Neck Satin Midi Dress. It comes in navy and sizes 00 through 16. The sleeveless satin dress features a V-neckline in the front and back and shirring under the bust. It has a body-skimming fit that falls at the mid-calf and has an invisible zipper closure at the back for easy on and off.
