Summer is fast approaching, and with warmer weather comes hot weather. But knowing what to pack for a vacation getaway is a daunting task. Overpack, and carry a heavy suitcase. Pack less, and you'll be left with nothing to wear. Thankfully, Nordstrom's Holiday Planning includes 14,000 holiday-ready styles designed to make getting ready feel effortless. However, it can be difficult to know which pieces really stand out.
To make things easier, I narrowed it down to 17 pieces that should be added to your cart. My editor-approved list includes linen pants, floral dresses, flowy maxi skirts and more. I even added a few high end accessories to make sure the whole look felt complete.
Read on to shop 17 travel-ready pieces, including brands like Madewell, Free People and Birkenstock.
